What do you think of when you hear the word "regional?" Does it make you think of the Spokane area? Perhaps the Inland Northwest comes to mind. Do you think of topics like the history of our area, or the names of local authors and their books? Well, at Auntie's any or all of these answers would be correct.

In addition to providing the best possible service to our customers, Auntie's is dedicated to supporting the efforts of the many fine authors who live in our area, as well as several thriving publishing houses. Whether it's a book about the timber or mining industry, a photo journal about the famed Davenport Hotel, or the best fiction, mysteries or essays that the Inland Northwest has to offer, you'll find it all here on Auntie's shelves.

The next time you're in the store, visit our Regional and Local Author sections. Or browse our shelves and look for the familiar names of authors like Jess Walter, Steve Oliver or Jim Kershner, seen here with his biography - Carl Maxey: A Life.

Then, check out the featured publishers and fiction authors shown on the following pages. National publishers might be larger, but they can't offer what these independent publishing houses offer. This is the Inland Northwest at its literary best, found where it is appreciated most, on the shelves of your own independent bookseller: Auntie's Bookstore.
