I'm so glad I heard about this shop from…read moreTikTok :) I stopped by in search of a manga for a gift and ended up browsing the entire store for over an hour. The manga selection has a few mainstream titles but majority are older/niche which I appreciated looking through. If you're looking for material to learn Japanese, there was a pretty large section as well! Aside from manga, they also carry mystery, horror, non fiction, fiction, Western and a variety of spirituality/self help books. There's also designated sections for female authors, children's literature and Japanese only books. Some books will have handwritten price tags but overall pricing is more than fair and reasonable! Takeshi is so so kind and grateful for each customer that comes through and you can tell he appreciates getting to know everyone individually. Please come to support him and his wife! I've been meaning to pick up reading again so I will definitely be back soon :))

The selection leaned more toward older titles than the newer releases I was hoping to find. That said, you can tell it's a place that's loved by its regulars, and I always appreciate supporting independent bookstores.

The store has two floors packed with books, so there's always another shelf to check out. It's also in a really cute part of downtown Auburn, which makes it an easy stop if you're spending the day there. I love supporting independent bookstores, and this one is definitely worth popping into if you're in the area.

i came here on a whim. i'm from nevada. i saw nevada section that had a book with the UNR mackay…read morestatue, i took a picture with the book. the man behind the counter told me that "can i help you find anything" i said "no, im just looking" he said "this isn't a library the books, aren't to be played with" immediately put a bad taste in my mouth. i was taking a photo with the book, i was very interested in buying books but i immediately left. when i first came in i said "i could spend all day inside" and he had a bad attitude. i have never had a bad experience at a used book store. whatever you do don't come here. go to the library because at least they will give you better service then the one i had here. i'm going to address the remarks the owner made. it seems you barley remember me as a customer because when you said "When you first came in, I greeted you in a friendly manner welcoming you to the store" you never greeted us when we came in. we were only asked what we were looking for after i had been in the store for 20 minutes. bad customer service. if you genuinely wanted us to buy something you would be attentive and greeting every customer upon entering. "I perceived this as you playing with my books for entertainment or social media purposes, as I see far too often in my shop." so you're just assuming i wouldnt buy anything??? like you said i was bouncing around excited. i hadn't even seen all there was to see! you assumed i wasn't going to buy anything based off the fact that i wasn't looking at everything??? " Unfortunately, when I see someone taking selfies with books in my shop, the vast majority of the time they do not buy anything, now or ever." it wasn't a selfie... i was taking a picture with the back because i went to UNR and graduated there. when i went to half price books and they had a book from traner middle school no one came up to me to pressure me into purchasing something. "Some books only get a little more oil from the fingers, or slightly more thumbed pages. Others get ruined as they get dropped or crammed carelessly onto the shelf" notice how when you were disrespectful i didn't cram it back on the shelf i put it nicely back on the shelf but you don't want to include that in your response. unfortunately you don't understand the risks with running a bookstore because if you did you'd realized that books get handled and touched. if you're so worried put it behind a glass case so they don't get grabbed... you can't police every person who touches your books. i DID have a desire to purchase from your used bookstore however your attitude turned me away along with multiple other customers who wrote a review just like mine. "Please come with a genuine intention, respecting the books I have worked so hard on and invested so much in to provide them for you to browse" again with the assuming i won't buy anything that is disrespectful. i buy books from all types of stores. i just went to have price books and the money could've spent at your establishment went to someone else. i had intentions of buying from you but genuinely your rude attitude and your rotten response to my review really makes me never want to recommend this business to anyone. you profiled us is what you did. you used personal characteristics i had such as " Unfortunately, when I see someone taking selfies with books in my shop, the vast majority of the time they do not buy anything, now or ever", which you used to predict our behavior. next time put a sign saying if you're not going to buy anything don't come in! anyone looking to buy books in auburn please drive literally anywhere else! if i had known you conduct buisness i would've never step foot inside. support business who support you. some suggestions: grass root books, reno nv 1hr 40mins thistle & nightshade, reno nv 1hr 32mins half price books, citrus heights ca 31mins time tested books, sac ca 45 mins underground books sac, ca 2hrs 54mins

I can't wait to come back.
