Gold Beach Books is so much more than a bookstore. It's true that they have 75,000 new and used books and that they're the largest bookstore on the Oregon Coast, but they also feature art, live entertainment, and delicious coffee creations. This is one of those magical entertainment hubs that you can only find in Oregon.

Gold Beach Books also has a fascinating collection of rare and old books, some as old as 500 years, way back from the first days of the printing press. Some of these books are leather bound sets of famous works. They also have a variety of autographed books and special editions that you can't find anywhere else. Their Showroom Collection is the perfect place for a book enthusiast to spend some time.
