Bookstore geek: Winter River Books

In the heart of Old Town in Bandon, Oregon, you'll find the lovely Winter River Books, a gem of a book and gift shop.

This bookstore its excellent in its devotion to local and regional books — while so many bookstores tend to have the same bestsellers on the front displays, Winter River Books offers a bit of everything, and it's a great place to browse, especially if you're in the mood for something different but aren't sure what.

And Winter River Books goes beyond being a bookstore in its wonderful selection of gifts, many of which are eco-friendly, which is always great to see. The store also carries fresh bread from a local bakery…

…and this, in addition to the chocolate selection (which includes Theo Chocolate — mmm) basically means one-stop shopping for a bookstore geek.
