Have you heard about the demise of the independent bookstore? Well it’s not happening in Winthrop, Washington. This small town bookstore, located near the entrance to the North Cascades National Park has been growing and thriving for the past six and half years. This 1800 square foot general bookstore has something for everyone, with literature, history, nature guides, and our children’s sections being the most popular with locals and tourists alike. The inventory is professionally managed and up to date; quarterly newsletters are distributed through the entire region; and a prominent downtown location have all helped this store to become the go to place in Winthrop. Current owners travel 3-4 months/year, while the highly trained staff run the store. SEE AN INITIAL SALES PACKET AT WWW.TRAILSENDBOOKSTORE.COM
