About North by Northwest Books & Antiques
North by Northwest Books & Antiques is a locally owned bookstore and antiques shop based in Lincoln City, Oregon. The business focuses on used, out-of-print, and collectible books, often with an emphasis on history, regional interest, and niche genres, alongside a rotating selection of vintage and antique items for collectors and casual browsers alike. It operates out of the Historic Streetcar Village along Highway 101 and has been in business for over two decades, serving both locals and coastal visitors looking for unique finds and secondhand treasures.
A charge from this merchant typically appears when a customer makes an in‑person purchase of books, antiques, or other vintage goods at the shop using a Visa or other bank card. Depending on how your bank formats statements, the descriptor may show as something like “NORTH BY NORTHWEST” or “NORTH BY NORTHWEST BOOKS & ANTIQUES” followed by city/state information for Oregon. Because it’s a small, independently run shop, purchases are usually one‑time transactions rather than subscriptions, though you might see multiple charges if several separate visits or split transactions were made on the same day or trip.
If you have questions about a charge, first check any paper receipts from recent visits to Lincoln City or the Oregon Coast and look for the store name or its Streetcar Village address on Highway 101. You can also call the shop directly using the phone number listed in local directories to confirm the transaction details and date. If you still don’t recognize the charge, contact your bank to review the transaction, verify time and location, and, if needed, dispute the charge; having approximate visit dates and the cardholder names for your household ready will speed up the process.
