    A lovely two story bookstore. Harkens back to Borders with that nostalgic warm yellow wood vibes and charm. They have a large children's section as well as a rare book section and used tarot resell section downstairs. Pretty cool that they sell used as well as new books and small gift items. I enjoyed my visit and hope to visit again someday.

    Copperfield's has multiple locations, but this one is fun due to having more than one floor to explore! It's always welcoming, with the interior bright and airy, and plenty of chairs available so you could always find a place to sit down in good lighting to get some reading in. The store also has Wi-Fi, which is a plus. The only thing keeping me from staying too long was the lack of a cafe, but there's plenty of options next door.

    We stumbled upon this gem while we were walking by. The bookstore is pretty big. There's two stores the main floor that had a ton of planners and the best books. All the books I want to read were there the selection is beyond real. They also had a big kids/teen section. They had a lot of gifts for kids at a very reasonable price. I purchased some gifts for my nieces here. My son found a great collection of Pete the cat. The downstairs had used book . My husband purchased some. I was so busy upstairs that I didn't really check out downstairs. We spend over an hour here trying to decide what to get. The service was just as great. If you love books this is a must . This is one of the best bookstores I have ever been to.

    It's so good to see a book Store exists in some places. Currently there's a sale going on so if you like to read the paper book it's shopping time for you. We bought a couple of books but it was nice to see all kinds of collections of books. You can also take your pet inside the bookstore but no food and drinks. How sweet! If you haven't been here, try it out you will love this town overall Petaluma!

    We found this store by accident when we were out antique shopping! What a great find! I do love a good bookstore!! Employees were super friendly and the space is well lit and kinda quirky in a good way. I loved the vibe. Big magazine section and lots of books. Everything was well organized and easy to find. I wish we had more time. Next time we're in Petaluma we'll plan to stay a while. Metered street parking - but plentiful.

    Such an enchanting environment- I love the downstairs area too! Hee.

    I've heard so many great things about this particular bookstore, but never had the pleasure of actually going in. This particular day I had off, and I got to wander in and out of this amazing classic bookstore! I loved it!! They actually had a huge section of discounted books in the front with everything from toddler books to gardening! I actually found some really great painting books for one of my Classroom children, as well as some great reads for my first and second grade children within a poetry sector. I love the layout of this bookstore. It's very homey and comfortable and I felt as if I could spend the whole afternoon there! They were a couple of people stocking things, and they asked me if I needed any help and I told them I was just grazing. They seemed to love their job and laugh And started organizing everything. This particular bookstore was very well organized, and had literally something for everybody, children, stickers, games, journals, calendars, and even magazines! I will definitely be back here again!!!

    Saw this store the other night while having dinner in Downtown Petaluma, and was intrigued, but it was closed. Went back during the day, and it was a great find. What an amazing book store. Too bad they don't have any like this where I'm from. They had decor scattered throughout, and even had large butterfly and dragon kits hanging in the store. The childrens book section had school shirta from the local elementaries hanging up. What a beautiful store. Ended up walling out with a cookbook and a meditation book. What a delight!

    Hmmm which book?

    There's just that some thing Special about walking into a bookstore and browsing the shelves of books and actually holding it in your hand Before you decide to read it! (especially if you're a child) Had so much fun bringing my granddaughter to Copperfields bookstore in Petaluma, We found the perfect book some finger puppets and had an awesome time.

    One of a few locations in the north bay. This nice independent book store has new and used books right in the downtown of Petaluma. They have excellent customer service. We were able to find some books for gifts that they beautifully wrapped. Support your local bookstores.

    I like this bookstore for the variety of genres offered for all bookworms…read more attention bookworms is what the bookstore says to me. the bookstore says to me hey there, come on by. the bookstore calls out to me and says look in my windows and drool on the books waiting to be purchased.

    I walked into Copperfields hoping to find a white elephant gift. I spotted a woman standing there…read morewatching me. I said hello and explained that I was looking for help finding a white elephant gift for a coworker. I asked for some suggestions. Her response was, "I don't know your coworker." Seriously? I barely know my coworker either. Needless to say, she was no help at all. I ended up turning around and helping myself since I clearly wasn't going to get any assistance. As I was leaving, she said something like, "I'm sorry if I offended you," without a smile. Great. I went down the street and walked into two other stores, explaining the same white elephant gift dilemma. At both stores, the retail clerk took the time to walk me around their store, offered ideas and suggestions to see what might work. Of course, I ended up buying the gift at one of those stores. Novato Copperfield may want to consider training employees to be more helpful when customers ask unusual questions-but then again are white elephant gift questions in December really so out-of-the-ordinary? Just now I searched for "white elephant Christmas gifts" on Amazon and found a ton of somewhat amusing suggestions. I'm not a Prime member and I tend to avoid all thing Amazon, but at least their algorithm/AI is actually helpful...

    I discovered this location last Spring and am thrilled that it's so close to our home. We used to…read moredrive all the way out to the one that was practically in Forestville, which says a lot about the quality and values of this business. Service is warm, intelligent, and deeply informed. Plant selection for quality native plants is very good. Their plants are a little pricey --(perhaps 10-15% more than Home Depot for example) but they stand behind their plants/products. Any plants or products that don't work out, just bring your receipt and they will give you a store credit or credit your card. Much of the value Harmony offers is in the quality of the products, the plants, and the intelligent service. Seriously, there is nowhere else I could go to find out how to dig up a fern from acidic soil, and properly care for it while it overwinters before planting it under a nearby redwood tree in the Spring! Harmony Farms also carries extraordinarily unique products, such as Stella Natura's biodynamic planting guide and a wide variety of seasonal, organic specialty plants as well as hard-to-find organic soil amendments. Parking is abundant. They're located just off of the Hwy 101/Penngrove exit heading east. A large sign that says "Barn" offers a fairly quick turn on your R into a wide gravel driveway. Enjoy!

    I've bought a lot at Harmony, and not just because they're close by. The employees there actually…read moreknow what they're talking about and that's always a big plus for me. Another reason I really like harmony is they have a lot of unusual varieties that you could only get if you sent for the seed and started them yourself. They have lots of seeds pots and gardening utensils and supplies.
