ABOUT THE OWNERS
Friends for over 16 years, Emily and Alicia always dreamed of opening a bookstore together when they retired. Emily managed Page 42 under previous ownership, with the intention of leaving when she graduated from Gonzaga. When the previous owners offered to sell, Emily jumped on the chance, and immediately asked Alicia to join her on this earlier-than-expected entrepreneurship opportunity.
Now they are a dream team that is determined to make a positive impact on our community, one book at a time.
Emily and Alicia can be seen in their natural habitat, slinging books, cracking jokes, and having fun.
