    I was walking around Sutter Street and stumbled upon this bookstore. When I heard they give out teacher discounts (15%) I knew this was the bookstore. I found some books for my classroom at a reasonable price. The customer service is great as well, will be back at this bookstore when I'm in the area. Would highly recommend!

    The book I recently purchased was signed by a local author from Lake Tahoe

    I have been in Ruby's bookstore about five times and I always find a fantastic selection of books, especially on my favorite topics: travel and nature. The bookstore is beautiful in how it presents the books, some of which have been signed by the authors. I like how there is also cool art for sale in addition to small, fun items like bookmarks,magnets, and stickers. I encourage you to shop local and to buy a book here instead of online. It makes the book even more special to recall the shop where you bought it from. There is an adorable dog at Ruby's who I love to visit with whenever I am there. I am a new customer but sure to be a loyal one! One last point, customer service is excellent and you can even order on their website and pick up later. I just did that.

    Super cute bookstore in the heart of Downtown Folsom! We were in the area and decided to park and take a walk around the different shops. My husband told me to look for a bookstore and sure enough - Ruby's popped up! They had a great selection of books and their Children's section was very adorable - I had to practically drag my daughter out of the store! It seemed like the books cost whatever was listed as the original price on the back of the book - so nothing was really marked down. We did walk away with 3 different books for my daughter though! Staff were very friendly and quick to assist! I love supporting small businesses especially bookstores! Check them out!

    Had to stop in for independent bookstore day!

    Ruby's Books is by far my favorite in the Sac area! The selection of books, amazing staff recommendations and overall experience is something that always leaves me smiling. Can't wait to try one of their upcoming book clubs too!

    We love Ruby's! It's on Sutter Street in the heart of old Historic Folsom. The store is lovely, light and bright and cheerful. The employees are always very friendly and they always have great book recommendations too. I love shopping here and supporting Indie bookstores. They have a great gift selection and awesome stickers, tote bags, bookmarks, etc for the book lovers.

    One of my favorite gems in all of Folsom! Ruby's books is a book lover's haven. There are SO many books on various topics and genres; all very organized. The staff here is always super friendly and helpful (not to mention, Ruby loves everyone who walks through the door)! My husband always Christmas shops for me here. He tells the staff what I have been enjoying, and they love to give recommendations. I've loved everything they have recommended to him. Such a great store! Has a wonderful children's selection, too.

    Shout out to all independent book shops. Not alot exists anymore. However Ruby's Books in Historic Folsom is holding strong. The shop is filled with curated collection of new books for all ages. In addition to books, they carry greeting cards, toys, art prints, and knick knacky gifts with a local flair. The place is decorated in a modern farmhouse style giving it a bright n cozy feel. The staff is welcoming and helpful. If you cannot find a book on the shelf, they can check inventory and order it for you. Plus the shop hosts a variety of book clubs in different literary genres. Check out their website for more information. For folks unfamiliar with Historic Folsom parking situation, besides the parallel street parking there are street level parking lots and a multilevel parking garage within a comfortable walking distance to the shop.

    Ruby's Books has been on my bookmark list for a very long time and I was happy I was able to make it here during Winter Break. This bookstore deserves a 5/5 because of how organized it is, how nice the employees are and the selection they have. When you walk in, you are instantly welcomed with recommendations, seasons picks and merchandise you just have to have. I was drawn to the pins and coasters immediately. I then went to the books. The employees are extremely nice. They circulated the store and checked in with the customers often. At checkout, they made sure to get to know their customers by asking questions based on what the customers bought. For instance, I got Fourth Wing merch and the kind lady informed me about their upcoming release day. From travel to romantasy, this store has something for everyone. I walked out with a book bag, book marks and pins. I cannot wait to check out this bookstore again. Please consider Ruby's when you are wanting to go to a book shop.

    I visited Half Price Books, the staff assisted me in everything I asked of them on June 6th, 2026…read more It was a busy Saturday afternoon. Liam and Kate were so helpful and went above and beyond at my visit yesterday. They gave me a time frame of when I would be called via the intercom. The selection of books, CDs, DVDs, video games, and other exciting things were all presented with visual aesthetics. The rest of the staff assisted me with where the restroom was at and another person helped me out with where to go by directing me to the way to get there. Liam again helped me out with my books I placed on to the push carts. Kate was there to help me out at the cash register after I found a few books I have been looking for at other book stores and online. I would like to highly suggest any book readers or book worms, any other physical media, or nostalgic items to come to this store and support a great collection of not only books, but a very professional team and staff at this particular store location. A+++++

    I went here for the first time. I don't come out to citrus heights that often. Very nice store…read more Well organized. For a store called half price books, it sure doesn't feel like it. I understand stores gotta make money. Most items were close to retail. However, somethings I did like. Their graphic novels I felt were priced faire. Their dvds and blurays were priced fare. I would comeback again. While I had some minor issues on certain prices, I am glad to see more brick and mortar based stores still exist, Stop shopping on amazon and support real businesses'.

    Such a charming local bookstore with the sweetest owner!! 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 :))

    Such a cute little neighborhood bookstore with a really friendly owner. The shop has a cozy,…read moreold-school feel and is definitely worth stopping into if you enjoy browsing used books. 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.
