Jim's Trading Post

Books galore! Rows and rows of all kinds of books. Old books, rare books, school books, fiction and non-fiction, almost any subject you could ask for. Mixed in are some miscellaneous items, such as shoes and hardware. Friendly staff. If you’ve ever driven by and wondered if you should stop and check it out, go ahead and do it. You won’t regret it.

I use to know the owners back in the 1980s. And Ross was a good friend of mine. We use to play music in the house next door. And i think we played a few Bars a couple times. He was a Great guitar player and Good People !
I just looked it up right now to see if it was still around to contact him. But the number is disconnected and one of the reviews mention that the husband had died. Not sure who is in charge of this anymore or if it is even still around, but it was a great place. Many memories there.

You can find a lot of old and somewhat unknown books here. It also has an eclectic charm that makes it fun to explore.

Found this place on the way back from robert’s book store in Lincoln city and found myself finding stuff that I had not seen in years. If you ever go this way going to Lincoln city or coming from Lincoln city this place is a goldmine for vintage books. Make sure to bring cash.

There's an unlimited amount of books and very interesting items. It's a destination spot if you're looking for any type of book!! One could spend hours there

This is the most amazing and weird store ever! Have everything from 80's shoes to weird copper garden pots and thousands of books! I saw a for sale sign last time so if coming bk on hwy 18, please stop!! The elderly lady who runs it could use all the customers she can get. Will be so sad if this iconic place closes..

Love this side of the highway gem of a place! If you've found your self along hwy 18 on your way to lincoln city perhaps, you must stop and take a look. The shops are owned by a sweet old couple nice as can be ands have been in the collecting this and that business at this location fir 40 + yrs, on one side (the his) is a plethora of tools and what not along with every thing man under the stars and next door is (the her side) art books, crafts, paper and home goods and so much more...sadly the husband has recently passed and the wife now runs them both. Business is slow and I would hate to see this shop close, it really is a hidden gem. ..I could spend days I mean days just on the library full of books she has, I'm telling ya there is a massive amount of cool inventory here, go support this local bit you will surely be glad you had!!!!

My daughter and i meant to stop in here for just a couple minutes and ended up spending well over an hour and getting a lot of our holiday shopping done. The woman behind the counter was friendly and the selection of new and used books was unique, interesting, and they had great prices. If you're driving through Grand Ronde i totally recommend stopping in and give yourself time to look around at their extensive inventory.

Love the variety! Enormous amount of books, including a vast collection of comic books.
A few guitars, vintage clothing including shoes:)
Lots of educational material, also.
Russell also us a walking encyclopedia of book and music knowledge.

Not the small town book store I grew up with, but things ones still standing post COVID-19! My old one's long gone :(

Not only that, but they have a side-by-side hardware! Thanks to Jim they also have a little of almost anything you might need.... Just ask 😁

If you visit them today please respect the germ pandemic, these people are family. ❤

Never know what you will find!! New inventory all the time. Always an adventure!
My grandmother would bring me here as a kid and I have always loved it.
