    Awesome local, small-town book store in Arcata, CA! I perused the store one afternoon - looking for a specific book - which they did not have in stock at the time. Not a big deal, I still appreciate how neat this little store is. I will say it was about 70 degrees outside the day I visited - and the inside of the store was quite a bit warmer/stuffier than I would prefer. I'm guessing they have no AC as part of their business. #NorthtownBooks

    The biggest selection seem to be in children and travel--not exactly what I was looking for.

The atmosphere is so welcoming, and I always find myself completely immersed in their amazing selection of books. I'm always there for at least an hour. The prices couldn't be better, seriously better prices than Amazon so buy local! They will special order you a book if it's not there! Whats always really stood out to me, though, is the excellent customer service. I spent over an hour browsing, and I could have easily spent all my birthday money there! A lovely blonde woman in a pink floral dress and glasses helped me with great recommendations for Romantasy and SciFi books, and I must say, she was such a delight. We had the best conversation about our favorite reads, and her recommendations were spot on! I know I went home with at least 1 of her suggestions that I absolutely can't wait to dive into and I'm already planning my return trip this Friday to grab some more- I just can't resist! I genuinely believe the sweet lady who assisted me deserves a raise; her passion for books and caring demeanor made my visit unforgettable! I came in on my birthday, and it turned out to be the best part of my day-- and I was already having an excellent day! This place is a must-visit for any book lover. I can't recommend it enough! ‍‍‍
