Was walking old town after getting some Los Bagels, bagels. Came upon this store across the street…read moreand my wife told me to look since I love music. There is a HUGE variety of music genres here, and the staff is incredibly friendly and very well knowledgeable. I was honestly just going to get one or two vinyls, but because of how knowledgeable the staff member was he was able to show me more vinyls from artists I had never heard before and they were honestly what I was looking for. I know everything about modern metal and rock, but I've been wanting to learn more about the early roots of metal, and I was provided with some excellent vinyls. I definitely recommend anyone who loves music (everyone) to visit this store and discover music through a medium that not many people listen to nowadays. The prices on their inventory will make you go back as it is a fantastic value for the quality of product you are receiving.

I have lived in McKinleyville for 25 years and went to Blakes Books yesterday for the first time…read more I had such a great conversation with the owner Courtney...she was so friendly and helpful! As the minister of a local church, I am helping a recently widowed friend rehome some of her husbands books. Courtney explained which books she would accept and suggested how I might handle the ones she didn't take. I would 100% recommend this gem of a bookstore and can't say enough about how nice Courtney is!!

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.

Today I took a half dozen new books in to get credit on, and was informed that exchanges are by appointment only. No one else in the store, one clerk, 10am, no interest at all in being helpful, just doing his "job" and following the "rules" The old tin can is gone, next time I have extra books I'll donate them to Miranda's rescue.

Look. It's Humboldt County. I didn't expect a legitimate game store and this place delivered. I was…read moreimpressed by the selection, offering board games from the classics to the traditional to the innovative. The store is in a wooden structure that looks like it should hold power tools, but never judge a book by its cover (or a game). We have bought several birthday and Christmas gifts here and the staff are some of the most knowledgeable about board games of varying types. We have also been introduced to new games here, and the prices are competitive with other game stores across the country. Instead of jumping on Amazon and enriching Jeff Bezos and his union busting ways, drop in to NCR and support local games stores. Also, Jesus Christ is Lord! Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
