The Eastern National Bookstore is a great place to purchase information on the Obed Wild and Scenic River. The bookstore contains books on the historical, cultural, and recreational elements of the park. There are also books on the various animal, plant, and bird species that inhabit the park. The popular Foxfire books are also well represented, with eleven volumes in stock.

The bookstore also contains items that are unique to the National Park Service, including the favorite Passport series booklets and stamps, along with Obed postcards and pins. Children's books, stuffed chirping birds, and insect collecting kits are but a portion of what's available for the youngsters.

Perhaps the most sought after items in the bookstore are the maps. A total of 25 topographical maps of the region are for sale, as are several other specialty maps and atlases. 

A portion of the proceeds of all sales at the bookstore goes directly to help the Obed Wild and Scenic River.
