St. Johns Booksellers is a family-owned neighborhood bookstore located in the historic heart of North Portland's St. Johns neighborhood.  We offer new, used, and remaindered books in a wide range of subject areas.  Our strengths include children's books, progressive politics, mysteries, and Northwestern Americana.
