Wicked Good Books

Wicked Good Books The local indie bookstore serving Salem and visitors from around the world since 2014. We are also happy to special-order titles that aren't in-store.

We stock both new and used books, and locally made gift items, such as cards, candles and soaps. We DO NOT BUY BOOKS, but accept donations of a bag or box at a time. In good weather, we have a bargain cart out front. Come in and browse!
