Was in Sacramento for the day and stopped by Phono Select on a whim. I'm happy to write that it's a…read morewonderful little store. Every record that I can remember looking at had a store slip in the sleeve providing a concise description of the music along with some discography context; as anyone who digs knows, this is extremely helpful when you come across a record that that looks as interesting as it is unfamiliar. Even more, many of their records have been play-tested -- look for a little sticker on the sleeve framing a hand-written endorsement of sound quality, or, more uncommonly, a gentle disclaimer on the same subject. Pricing is also very fair. If I'm ever in Sacramento again I would certainly go out of my way to make it back here.

One of the only vinyl records stores in all of Sacramento. Definitely one of the only ones we…read moreprefer. Great selection. The staff, nicest in the world. You can spend all day in there chatting about music and the way recording and distribution has changed over the years. Great place. I would stop by even if you don't have a record player or tape player. The nostalgia, the walk down memory lane when you Spin a record on your palms or stick your finger in a cd. Man I feel old. But my 13yr old gets me to Phono Select all the time. There is something for everyone.

I was able to finally check out the legendary Cave today, and boy! - what a treat it was! As a huge…read moredrooling fanatic of damn near every field of the arts, I was in hog heaven. Pop culture themed collectibles, T-shirts, video games (retro AND modern) , and of course, vinyl records and CDs. What more do you need to know?? Get down to the Cave at your earliest NOW!! lol. Also, a gentleman named Jason assisted me and was incredibly kind and eager to assist! So I wanted to give a special Kudos to him!!

They are not overpriced at all and have a GREAT selection of smiskis, mofusand, and so much more. They are also very active with posting restocks so if you're a collector of knick knacks then I would highly recommend this place. Can't wait to come back!

We checked out "404" day for their beats battle (4 heads playing their own beats on SP 404…read morecontrollers). It was pretty dope. But that place is tiny! It got real crowded up in there real fast. I wish they had more seating outside so people could just chill and enjoy the beats. It's probably more comfy on a regular day to come and dig through their records for that unexpected gem. My husband is a dj so he loved the 404 event and the vinyl that he found. Some (used) albums are pricey and makes you think, "why?" But small, local record shops are a thing of the past, so if you appreciate music, vinyl, and the whole beat community, go support Twelves Wax!

walked into Beers Books on a Sacramento trip with no intention of spending money and left with a…read morestack of books and zero regrets. this is the kind of used bookstore that actually has soul. floor to ceiling shelves, books everywhere in the best possible way, the kind of organized chaos that rewards you for actually looking. I found three things I didn't know I needed within the first ten minutes. the selection is genuinely impressive across categories. fiction, nonfiction, history, art, local interest, vintage stuff you won't find anywhere else. prices are what used books should cost, nothing felt overpriced and I felt like I was getting a deal on basically everything I picked up. the R Street location is perfect, great neighborhood, easy to make it part of a longer afternoon in Sacramento. staff was friendly and clearly knows the store well. there's something about a good independent bookstore that just makes a city feel more alive and Beers Books absolutely does that for Sacramento. if you're visiting or you live there and haven't been, go on a slow afternoon and give yourself time to actually wander. you'll find something.

New favorite bookstore in Sacramento. I first visited a few weeks ago and this time I decided to…read moredrop by after errands. The store has a wide selection of books on just about every topic. I was specifically looking for Mesoamerican mythology and history of colonial Mexico and I found it. Books are decently priced, they have both new and used. The price point is fairly accessible for the condition of the books. I love getting lost in those shelves it's the best part of bookstores in my opinion. Staff is always friendly and helpful, always willing to give you a free bookmark or a photo of a crop circle!

I saw online they have a lot of journal supplies, so I came over and found just what I needed. Love the extra large selection of magazines. Bought a food recipe magazine.

I've been coming here over the past 20 years and I can say I have never been disappointed…read more The books are always in nice array, displayed so that you can easily find what you're looking for or even being enticed to look at the latest and new arrivals. The staff is always friendly and willing to help you whenever you need it. On this particular day I arrived, and as I entered, I was welcomed in, which I appreciated. I quickly went to look for a book (Red Rising) that I had heard was a great read, and when I couldn't find it on the shelf, I went to the front door and asked the lady how it was organized and she let me know it was by theAuthor's last name. However, on the way back to the shelf, I did find it on a table on the new and hot items list. Somehow, being in a bookstore with other book lovers, you just feel a different vibe that you don't feel when you're outside of those doors. But if you're looking for a cool bookstore, I would definitely recommend coming here. You will find what you need.

Naturally, I spent most of my time downstairs. The bookseller on the lower level was so knowledgeable! We got into a whole conversation and they pointed me toward several horror picks I never would have found on my own, including some horror graphic novels I'm genuinely excited about. That kind of interaction is exactly why indie bookstores matter. They also have an in-person horror book club, which honestly made me a little sad because I couldn't join. If I lived in Sacramento, I would 100% be a regular here. Highly recommend if you're passing through.
