About Us
COVID-19 UPDATE:
Book Larder is open for In-Person Shopping by Appointment, Virtual Shopping Appointment by Zoom or FaceTime, Store Pickup, and Online Shopping.
In-Person and Virtual Shopping Appointments are available Wednesday-Saturday 11-4 and can be scheduled HERE. Please make an appointment for EACH PERSON who will be shopping in your group. Please note: Because Book Larder is very small, we will not be open for general browsing. This will help us ensure we can keep employees and customers safe by maintaining appropriate social distance. Dogs are unfortunately not allowed in the store.
Store Pickup is available Monday-Tuesday from 11-2 and Wednesday-Saturday 11-4. You will receive an email from Book Larder staff when your order has been processed and is ready for pickup. No appointment is needed to pick up books. When you arrive, just come up to the door and let us know your first & last name - we will hand you your package.
Online Shopping is always available. We ship anywhere in the world! Within the continental U.S., your first book ships for $5, and $1 for each additional book in your order after that. Please email us for international shipping rates at info@booklarder.com
Thank you for your patience as we continue to navigate these very strange times. We hope you are staying safe and healthy!
Book Larder opened on October 12, 2011, offering a carefully selected collection of new and imported cookbooks to lovers of food and cooking in Seattle and beyond. We are also a spot to gather for author events, cooking classes, demonstrations and other food related discussions, both formal and informal. When you visit, we hope you’ll linger over titles that catch your fancy, and make yourself at home around our big kitchen counter.
Here are a few articles that have appeared over the past few years that will tell you a bit more about who we are and what we do:
