Very kind service from welcoming to check out. It was a rainy holiday and they were open which was…read morereally nice for our family including child to explore the store. Very clean and variety of selections for young children to older explorers and creatives. We ended up getting strawberry scratch and sniff stickers and two Sanrio blind boxes. The workers let us know the Sanrio were new. Value is always subjective I believe but to us, the stickers will definitely be used, and the Sanrio figurines will be played with and appreciated. This was the second time I've been in this store, and overall, it was very welcoming, helpful, and fun ambiance. We'll be back again next time in Murphys.

Mountain Bookshop is a cute little bookstore in Tuolumne. My friend and I stopped in today while…read moreshopping in the area and I'm so glad we did. The inside was pretty big with adult books in the middle, children's book on one side and crafts on the other - such as yarn, ribbons and even greeting cards. They also sold lotions, soaps and lots of book accessories. Staff kept to themselves and didn't really ask if we needed assistance finding books which I thought was odd, but they weren't necessarily unfriendly either. The few books I looked at, seemed to sell for face value and nothing was marked up or down. Overall, I thought it was a nice store and would stop in for another visit the next time I'm in town. Check them out!

I purchased red dead redemption recently and it kept freezing In the loading screen. I called them as I live in Merced and was not going to make it back out to Modesto within the 7 day return/exchange period. Diego said since I contacted and stayed in touch he would accept my return or try and clean up the disc when I came in. When I did make it in after cleaning the disc a scratch remained and he recommended that i try their sister store utopia down the street since he did not have another copy. I found it at utopia and ended up getting the zombie version and red dead two also. I went back to return the copy I purchased from laughing crow but asked if I could exchange it for some enamel pins and cleaning the discs I bought instead of a refund since utopias disc cleaner wasn't working. He was pleased with the idea and we agreed on that. My experience with this store has been positive and it's clear this business and its workers stand by their product and their word. I am a lifetime customer now. Thanks Diego!
