This review is not for the video/game rental side of this business…read more Ok, first thing first. I was surprised when I went with my sister to pick up a cake for my nephews confirmation and we drove up to a Video / Game Rental.....for a cake??? I gave my experience here one star do to having to drive 3 different times to pick up the cake since it wasn't ready in time and when we came on the third time the two ladies behind the counter weren't sure how to process the remaining balance left on the cake so we had to wait for them to call someone to talk them through it, while our guests waited.. We didn't get a discount for the late inconvenience of the cake taking longer then it should nor an apology. I told my sister never to come here no matter what, especially for a cake needed for a special occasion and having our guests wait till the cake was finally ready at 6:20pm... not professional at all, then again my sister did go to a Video/Game Rental store for a cake.

Stopped by Music Merchant while walking downtown Fort Bragg and was AMAZED! I was drawn in by the…read moredisplays of familiar tabletop games in the window (Warhammer, magic the gathering, dungeons and dragons, etc). I was expecting the store to be all music focused with the normal token representation that you normally see. But NO! They had all sorts of Warhammer! Lots of the new stuff you find at branded stores but also the out of print and hard to find items too! They had a huge selection of DnD models and source books, again including some hard to find copies. Soon I had a handful of items in hand and was walking towards the counter when I saw a Warhammer battle box that I've been looking for that was out of print. I had to have it! Didn't see a price on it and asked the employee the price. He looked it up but it wasn't in the system and we were able to settle on a very reasonable final price. I've never been to a store that had harder to find items and was still able to make a deal! Absolutely amazing! I live out of town but will be sure to visit Music Merchant every time I'm in town to see what new (or out of print) items they have in stock

Worth a visit. guitars, beautiful miniatures, and they host board & card games twice a week :)read more

Went in for the first time yesterday and was pleasantly surprised by the quantity and quality of…read morebooks. Also, the man working there, who may have been the owner, was very nice and welcoming. I have been to every bookstore on the north coast and this one is a diamond in the rough! I just wish I lived closer.

Holy smokes, you just don't stumble over bookstores like this every day! On a road trip, and…read morestaying a couple nights in Fort Bragg, we decided to take a drive over the mountain and see what's what. I clocked the "Used Books" sign on the way through town and had to check it out. I can only wish we still had a shop like this in Santa Cruz. Miles of used (and new) books--like the Tardis, it's bigger on the inside. The mystery section alone was jaw-dropping. I picked up some excellent technical volumes for my archaeologist kid, plus some LPs and a cookbook. Yes, they have used LPs. And puzzles, DVDs, CDs, musical instruments, art supplies. Other eccentric customers for atmosphere. A cool dog, named Zeus. And owner, Chris, was lovely to talk to. This place is pure magic--you should go.

Just an overall classy place. A place for a few locals to sell their handcrafted wares. I always…read morewander in when I'm in the area, to see the quality pieces on display. Especially love the handcrafted silver work.
