Jamie Lutton and her last-of-its-kind Capitol Hill used bookstore are celebrating the bookseller’s 30th year in the business with a big sale. Take it away longtime friend of CHS @uncle_vinny:

While, Lutton has been doing the book thing professionally for three decades, Twice Sold Tales is actually a little younger — CHS visited the store for its 25th anniversary last year. In 2009, we talked with Lutton about her move from Broadway to make way for the Capitol Hill Station light rail project.
2013 will be an important year of change for Twice Sold. Capitol Hill’s Half Price Books outlet is slated to shut down this Sunday.
Meanwhile, another important Seattle book retailer making its home on Capitol Hill is also marking an anniversary this year. Elliott Bay Book Company is in the midst of celebrating 40 years of selling books in Seattle.
Unvle Vinny is the man – thanks for info!
Nonono, Barcraft is the Man!
Happy for Jamie and Twice Sold Tales… I remember in the 80’s when the store was a used book cart in the Broadway Market (and an excellent used book cart it was).
Congrats to Twice Sold Books!
[…] Twice Sold Tales, another Harvard Ave destination for the bookish, celebrated an anniversary this week, too. Sunday, the book party ends, however — it’s the final day of business […]
