We've been friends for almost 40-years! Sam moved to PDX from Texas a few years after high school. I would come out to visit him during my summer breaks in college. We would drive up and down the coast, I-5, and even sometimes an old logging road or two over the coastal range. I'm so thankful for the friendship that has endured these many years.

An interesting and appropriate spelling of the retailer's surname! I always feel guilty at not buying a book here, independent book-shops need to be nurtured but to be fair I have been a customer in the past and I'm currently under a self-imposed embargo about new books - I simply have too many still to read, so many books so little time! Next visit I'll keep my word Sam, honest. In the meanwhile the shop website gives the story:
Winner of 2006 Times/Independent Alliance Competition for Best UK Independent Bookshop
"Established by Sam Read, the shop has traded as a small independent bookshop since 1887, taking advantage of its position on Grasmere village green. There can be few places in the country that can lay claim to so many literary connections, from Wordsworth, Coleridge and the Romantics, to John Ruskin, Beatrix Potter and Arthur Ransome.
The shop has had only 6 owners in its 123 year history. Sam Read, a prominent local Victorian, passed the business onto his daughter Helen, who ran it until the 1950’s. The shop then passed out of the family but the name has lived on – for obvious reasons!
The shop has always prided itself on its range of books and quality of service. Apart from a few weeks in January, we are open 7 days a week, 9-5 in winter and 9-6 the rest of the year. If you are unable to come and visit the shop, please browse these web pages and contact us with any orders or requests. We are happy to do a search for any out of print titles and will endeavour to supply them where possible".
