It's something magical to find a bookstore dedicated entirely to a special interest of yours. I've been in bookstores dedicated entirely to poetry, sci Fi, leftist theory, and now one entirely dedicated to theology. Each bookstore found their own ways to make their specific selections treasure troves - mostly by filling their shelves with authors we find frustratingly lacking at more big box bookstores and in this respect windows surpasses expectations beyond what anyone interested in theology could hope. Forget simply filling their shelves with names sorely lacking in theology sections at most stores - names like David Bentley Hart, Gregory of Nyssa, Jacques Ellul, George McDonald - one can find a number of books available in koine Greek, Hebrew both modern and biblical, Latin. I was brimming with excitement ordering Origens commentary on John's gospel from the book printers upstairs. Only to find the entire thing quite literally his commentary untranslated and presented as is. My mistake for not double checking that. I've been to this shop once a week since finding almost a month ago and don't plan on stopping anytime soon.

My favorite browse in Eugene! So many hidden treasures from College Libraries and Private Collections. Definitely worth stopping by and getting lost in the stacks for an hour… or 5.

Rarely does one find individuals so dedicated to their craft, their profession, as one finds at Windows Booksellers. Each time I peruse the shelfs and email lists (sent monthly to those interested in the continually updated offerings of the store) I'm amazed at the attention and love paid to each book. The staff at this physically modest, but intellectually deep, store are true experts in their field of acquiring, caring for, and re-selling seminal, rare, antique philosophy, theology, and religious texts. This store is admittedly not for those interested in pop culture or the latest fiction novel. But when you desire, dare I say need, to acquire a scholarly text that hails from the annals of philosophy, theology or religion, do contact the kind experts at Windows Booksellers. You won't be disappointed.

They did not include the apartment number on the shipping label. I had to pick it up at the post office even though I already paid the shipping fee. And the post officer blamed this mistake to me. I felt disappointed. Be careful to buy books from them. They are not as thoughtful as you think.

Great store! A bit hard to find, but worth it for those interested in theology, philosophy, history, and other related subjects.

I'm surprised this came up as a used bookstore. No sign on the street, access through a bar and down the back stairs into the basement. Lot of OLD philosophy and religious books, not much else. Not worth the time.
