Olsson's Books and Records
|
|
|
This 30-year-old independent, quality bookstore chain has about 60,000 to 70,000 books on its shelves. Members of its helpful staff know what they're talking about and will order books they don't have in stock. Some discounts are given on books, tapes, and CDs, and their regular prices are pretty good, too.
Besides this location, , there are two other Olsson's bookstores in the District: at 418 Seventh St. NW (tel. 202/638-7610), at 12th and F streets NW (tel. 202/347-3686), and at 1307 19th St. NW (tel. 202/785-1133).
