Any book lovers dream is to find a cool bookstore with not only charm but intrigue.
While our jobs may make our reality grey in comparison to the lives in books, this store breathes life in vibrant colors and life from all over the world. Not just in the form of books but music, art, and film as well.
While I like Barne's & Noble as much as the next girl a bookstore without personality is just another store. Just look at this description of 50 Watt Books and tell me you're not in love.
"50 Watts is a bookstore with a focus on visually-striking and unusual books from around the world --
incredible art books and artists’ books, surreal picture books, graphic design icons, underground comics,
risograph zines, Writers No One Reads, deep backlist finds, odd vintage arcana, and funky gift books, prints, and ephemera.
Expect to find lots of publications from Japan and Europe.
50 Watts also publishes books and zines (which you might stumble upon in the real world) and imports a handful of books to distribute to other stores. At the moment I consider myself 90% bookseller and 10% publisher, though that might change as the 50 Watts titles multiply. Someday I hope to have a storefront or warehouse or office space you can visit.
Thank you to my customers from around the world who support this strange beast!"

50 Watts Books is a refreshing online bookstore that has more to offer than just meeting a quota. Looking at the website it is easy to say the owner cares and loves books with an honest heart not many other companies have today. Shopping here isn't just a buy a book and go home. Shopping here means expanding on what you already know and taking a step into the unknown, the strange and unusual as they like to say; choosing what calls out your name and man are these shelves loud.
This is a bookstore to be excited about; a bookstore that loves books the way we all loved books growing up. The way books would color our imagination and allow us to get wrapped up in a life that separate from our own but still in some way ours. 50 Watts Books lights up our world like no other and gives us an opportunity to dream in color that is much needed when everything in the world looks the same.
