When I brought him here, he wasn't super excited, it didn't have a set up like B & N. Then he found out he could get several 'like new' books here, at super affordable prices, or buy 1 book at Barnes and Noble for the same amount. He now appreciates the value of buying slightly used vs new books and that his book money goes much farther.

Another knock out concert held at World Records. The incomparable Walter Trout was in the house!…read more The lovely local Glenda Robles and Hot Taco opened the show. They have so much talent it's a pleasure that they are a Bakersfield band. Accompanying Walter this evening was Teddy Zig Zag on keyboards, John Avila on base, Michael Leisure on drums and John Trout, Walter's Son, vocals & guitar. What an all star band each member having a storied history of their own. On concert nights you can call ahead to order one of Jimmy's famous wood fired pizzas for a little nosh preconcert. Check out World Records website for upcoming shows and events. It's a great venue if you are looking to host an event. And as always music for sale.

Owner is super nice, very helpful. He offers to look for and get anything you need. There's limits, but anything recent or your having trouble finding, he's your guy and this is the place. I always say help small businesses, especially help hobby shops, though it's really helpful to that when they help you. ;)

He likes to see all the DND books and games. I like to see all the figurines they have on consignment, for great prices I may add. I may not play Warhammer, but I do like how they paint the minis. By the way they also have a good painting selection just like in the old location. They still have the gaming spaces in the back for those who want to play with others. The guys at the front are there to let us know if we need anything. They may not get stock as fast as others but at least they are honest about it. The board game selection is also still one of the best in town! I make a point to bring out of towners here in case they find something they like. Ottos is a gem of a place and one of the few where people can interact and hang out without food and drinks. Support local businesses!
