Page 42 Bookstore

Building a community around accessible literature!

Page 42 is dedicated to impacting our community through the power of books. We believe that access to great literature should be affordable no matter your income level. That's why we are dedicated to being the low -priced leader for books in Spokane, Washington.

ABOUT THE OWNERS

Friends for over 14 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.
