"The bookshelves inside BookPeople of Moscow can be daunting — books are stacked on each other and only alphabetical order is a guide. To see everything Bob Greene and the rest of the staff has available can easily become a day-long excursion. Don’t expect to find just the popular books, either. Head to the back corner for a look at mysteries and thrillers. Sit on the floor in front of the poetry section. You might just find that “lost classic” you’ve been looking for. BookPeople also has an eclectic selection of vinyl records, ranging from rock ‘n’ roll to Liberace. " -- University of Idaho Argonaut, writer T.J. Tranchell, photo Lisa Wareham. 

"As an avid reader I have to mention the fantastic BookPeople store, such warm and welcoming folk and such a refreshing change from the 'pile them high, sell them cheap' book chains back in Britain which are forcing independent booksellers out of business." -- Charlotte Macarthur of the United Kingdom, Letter to the Editor, Moscow Food Co-op Newsletter October 2006. 

"The place is a reader's nirvana with a multitude of regional authors represented. . . . Greene buys from lots of small publishers-- between 400 and 500-- so prepare for a rare treat."  NWtravel October 2006.

"BookPeople is a "temple of books."--Katy Alilunas of Eugene, Oregon.

"BookPeople of Moscow . . . is totally packed with books and is a great place to browse and inevitably to buy."  Lonely Planet Pacific Northwest Travel Survival Kit, 1995.

"I enjoyed your site -- the reviews included a lot of books I wasn't aware of until now.  Thanks!"--Pete Weyi, Portland Maine.
