Pistil Books Online

Pistil Books & News started as an independent neighborhood retail used and new bookstore in 1993 in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood (where Bimbo's is now) on Pike Street. We also carried zines and hosted readings and art shows.

In April of 2001, because of rising overhead costs and the changing nature of the book business, we closed our retail store in order to concentrate on internet sales.

We carry books in all fields, with an emphasis on scholarly titles, how-to, fiction, art, history, politics, and science. Quick service. Foreign orders. 24 hour response. Accurate descriptions. Excellent packaging. Drop Ships. New titles added daily. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Seattle customers may call or email to arrange to pick up their books at our warehouse.

We are proud members of the Independent Online Booksellers Association (IOBA).
