Holy smokes, you just don't stumble over bookstores like this every day! On a road trip, and…read morestaying a couple nights in Fort Bragg, we decided to take a drive over the mountain and see what's what. I clocked the "Used Books" sign on the way through town and had to check it out. I can only wish we still had a shop like this in Santa Cruz. Miles of used (and new) books--like the Tardis, it's bigger on the inside. The mystery section alone was jaw-dropping. I picked up some excellent technical volumes for my archaeologist kid, plus some LPs and a cookbook. Yes, they have used LPs. And puzzles, DVDs, CDs, musical instruments, art supplies. Other eccentric customers for atmosphere. A cool dog, named Zeus. And owner, Chris, was lovely to talk to. This place is pure magic--you should go.

A wonderful gem of a store that has been in old town for years and years. The people that run…read morethis place are wonderful! I wish I could remember the name of the lady who runs this place. My mom, who we lost in September of 2019, used to come here all the time. I was here today, and she still remembered her. She had such nice things to say about her. As other people have said, it doesn't look that big on the outside, but it is huge on the inside. If you can't find what you are looking for, you are probably not looking hard enough. They have new and used books, fiction, nonfiction, cookbooks, travel, rare and out of print books,, a very large children's room, and the list goes on and on. The prices are more than fair.... They also buy used books at a fair rate for store credit . If you don't find what you need this time, they will roll your credit over until the next time you come in. It's really cool that they do that. Once you buy your book, take it across the street to Los Bagels, And you can grab a nice snack while you peruse your purchase. I love this store, and I will be back again. Thank you.

It's been around forever, and once you step inside, it just keeps going, winding into a surprisingly large space with a solid nature and environmental section, plus science fiction, fiction, and well curated staff picks. A highlight of our visit was the resident bookstore cat, the Great Catsby, a dignified 16-year-old. We didn't see any posted rules, but it's worth remembering: interaction with a cat is always on the cat's terms. Sit calmly nearby and you might be chosen (we were lucky!), but it's never a given with any cat, especially a senior one. A lovely bookstore experience. Long live the indies!

I have very wonderful memories of this fantastic bookstore, nestled in the heart of old town…read moreEureka. Great selection of books from science fiction, mysteries, literature, poetry and even sections with more rare books and local Humboldt County history. There are multiple floors of books to explore and you can easily spend a day within the store talking about books with the staff, shopping for books, and living and breathing books. If you're traveling through Eureka and wanting a wonderful literary adventure, stop in old town and explore the huge variety of antique shops, used bookstores and wonderful niche shops that the city offers. It's well worth your time and efforts. I heartily recommend Eureka Books to everyone with a literary bent and a passion for books.
