Founded in 2005, Giant Nerd Books is an attempt by its founder and staff to inject new life into the idea of a brick-and-mortar storefront and to provide an in-person antidote to today’s epidemic of internet selling. Old, new, rare and uncommon books mingle alongside natural history specimens, vintage barware, comics, artwork by regional and national artists, and more to provide an immersive browsing experience.

Giant Nerd Books also maintains offsite consignment spaces in Atticus Coffee and Gifts at 222 N Howard St, and in Boo Radley at 232 N Howard St, both located in downtown Spokane, and in Boulevard Mercantile at 1012 N Washington, just north of downtown.
