-Hi, and welcome to the show.
I'm Nancy Guppy, coming to you from Arundel Books in Pioneer--
-We interrupt this program to bring you the following tidbit
of Seattle history. ♪♪
The building in which Nancy is now standing dates from 1900
and originally housed
the Capital Brewing and Malting Company,
which later became Olympia Brewing Company,
known for their famous jingle, "It's the water and a lot more."
-♪ It's the water and a lot more ♪
-We now return to Nancy,
still in that building I just told you about.
-Arundel Books, founded in 1984 by Phil Bevis,
began as a fine-press publisher specializing in art and poetry,
and has since expanded into rare and out-of-print books.
Arundel also includes an affiliated
indie publishing company called Chatwin Books,
a book-printing and binding operation,
both digital and their very cool vintage letter press,
and in 2023, Phil opened an art gallery,
Chatwin Arts, directly across the street.
Arundel Books is a Seattle treasure
that is well-worth an in-person visit.
For hours, location, and access to their exclusive inventory,
