The Best Fiction Section in Bend
At Dudley’s you’ll find a highly curated selection of books hand-picked by Tom, our owner. Our bookstore features a huge selection of Adult Literary Fiction that makes up the core of our titles. The Modern Library Top 100 books, awards winners and nominees for The National Book Award, The Pulitzer Prize, The Man Booker Prize, they’re all here.
Not to be stuck in the past though, our shelves hold all of the best modern literary authors you’ve come to love. We also have a wide-ranging selection of great new authors just waiting to be discovered.
The Great Outdoors
Not everyone is looking for a novel and we’ve got you covered there too. If you’re in Central Oregon to hit the trails, our bookstore has the best selection of Trail and Field Guides around. No matter where you’re headed or what you want to identify, we’ve got the right book for you.
If armchair adventure is more your speed, our newest section curates the best Adventure and Exploration tales. We have everything from the Golden Age of Exploration right up to the modern heroes pushing the limits of what we thought was possible. We’re not boasting when we say this is one of the greatest collections of these titles you’ll find in any bookstore in Oregon.
Flights of Fancy
Other areas in which we feature new titles include Science-Fiction and Fantasy, a great selection of Western History, a much-loved Best Books of the Pacific Northwest area, and a newly updated Poetry collection.
No matter what your interest, there’s a good chance you’ll find the perfect book on our shelves. If your tastes run towards the eclectic or we’re sold out of a new bestseller, we’re happy to place a special order at any time. Special order titles usually arrive at the bookstore in 2-5 days.
New & Used Books, Side by Side
At Dudley’s we shelve quite a lot of our used books right next to the new ones. You’ll see a new/used mix in our Literary Fiction, Adventure & Exploration, and Western History sections. You can find the rest of our used books shelved in our great upstairs rooms, one of the best places in Downtown to hang out, sip some coffee, read, study, have a meeting, whatever you need. We stock used titles in just about every subject you can think of.
Sell Us Your Used Books!
People often ask where we get our used books and the simplest answer is, “wherever we can.” One of the best sources though is from customers like you. We’re always looking to acquire used books for the store and we’re one of the few bookstores paying cash for used books.
