B L M F Literary Saloon

1501 Pike Pl #322, Seattle, WA 98101, USA

B L M F Literary Saloon is proof that there are treasures to be found for the patient visitor who wanders down to the less-frequented lower levels of Pike Place Market. For more than 17 years, J.B. Johnson has owned this cozy, lovingly curated store—ever since a guest at his book-filled home commented that he had “books like a motherf----er” (hence the name). What this little shop lacks in square footage, it gains back in an eclectic selection and friendly personal attention from a knowledgeable staff. Restock your to-read pile here without emptying your wallet.
