Amazing collection! Very progressive store if you haven't noticed by the pictures already shared. I was pleasantly surprised by the array of books they had and cute stationary. Staff was really helpful and you can tell they were incredibly integrated in the community. An old couple came in while I was shopping and they greeted them by their names and provided them a place to sit by the window while they browsed some books. So happy to support an amazing business!!

I was wandering around downtown Eureka and stumbled into this bookstore. I'm a sucker for old bookstores. Eureka Books has been around since the late 80's and sells new, used, and antiquarian books. The bookstore itself is two levels and has books and ephemera in all fields and price ranges. I enjoyed sitting and browsing through a couple books while I was here. Out front is a Zoltar fortune teller machine if want to know you future or become big like Tom Hanks.

Stopped by to browse this charming bookstore on my way back home from the Redwoods. I could've spent hours in this bookstore if we weren't rushing to get back home. They have a good selection of books, stationery, single postcards, cards and journals. I purchased a journal and some postcards. I'd love to spend time in this bookstore next time i'm in Eureka :)

Last weekend we went visited Eureka Books Historic bookstore for the first time, at least myself. My husband has visited before but did not get to enjoy the time as he was shopping for special occasion. This time, he invited me to go with him because he knows how much I love reading and finding great books. When we arrived, they were getting ready for the Arts Alive event and also it was the new owner's first anniversary of purchasing the bookstore. First thing captured my attention, was the layout, and the lighting. It was very open, spacious, and bright. Many bookstores and libraries dim the lights, but this one was natural light and nice light distribution throughout the floors. Another cool thing I found, that they had special collections and historical books. I enjoyed walking through inhaling the smell of fresh book pages, browsing through the new and old books. My husband and I set down by the cook books area, we both love to cook. And we found lots of amazing international cook books. We even found some of our favorite chefs cook books. Then we traveled to the second floor where we just sat down and read through books we picked from different genres like fiction, poetry, true crime, and biography. The was live music when we visited because of the event happening in town, but in general my husband said its usually calmer and more relax atmosphere. We are absolutely going back to spend more time enjoying the books and to explore more around the bookstore.

It should come as no surprise that the old-timey Old Town part of Eureka has an old-timey bookshop. After all, they describe themselves as "one of the last classic antiquarian bookstores on the West Coast", and as if they were begrudgingly acknowledging the digital revolution, they just made their inventory available online in the last few months. What was more surprising and rather reassuring though was how expansive their inventory was. They offer books and ephemera. Ephemera? Is that another word for crap? OK, maybe it's memorabilia. Just what I needed. They also have tons of used books, so there were good discounts to be found. And it's all framed in a vintage Victorian storefront. Yep, old-timey.

Incredible store, bargain bin out front for $1 a pop, local artist greeting cards and children's book, lots of new titles and such. The man running the shop is extremely kind, highly recommend this shop!

We are self admitted bookaholics, so used bookstores are a magnet to us. This store is two stories, located in another beautiful Victorian, guarded out front by Zoltan, the fortune teller. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful. We left with two bags of books!
