    Are you a Twilight fan? Does the word Romantasy get your blood pumping? Then this niche bookstore is for you. Located in the large historic Petaluma Mill building, the Velvet Chqpter is small but mighty. Tastefully decorated like Anne Rice's parlor, this smallish but well-stocked bookstore will also start selling potions. I noticed that they host quite a few events and also sell other items like magnets, but these magnets are miniature replicas of various books! As an avid reader, my daughter loved this bookstore. I know that we will be back when we're in the area!

    This book store in Petaluma is magical!!! It's such a cute store and the owners are so nice!!!! This store is stocked in books as well as they do small events that they post on their social. They also have the cutest blind date books, magnets, and stickers. If your are near here this is a must stop!

    My book blind datesuch a cute idea, and loved the attention to detail.

    Quality/Quantity - I sure miss this brand! Nice to still see physical book stores…read more On my few days off, back in the day, I used to spend it here reading (and shopping) in the City of Alameda. Way better than being in a library. I think you still have a location that I used to frequent in Cupertino, CA...? Anyway, this location is as large but "darker." My wife & daughter spent some time here reading and shopping today. Ambiance - A decent size location. A similar size compared to my Alameda and Cupertino locations. Clean and organized. Restrooms, you need a code; I did not use it. Service - Self service today. Price - Above average, but worth it for a physical atmosphere and service. We like to support. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1886 when you started as Arthur Hinds & Company. I'm impressed that you have approximately 700 locations still!

    If there's one place that always feels like my happy place, it's a bookstore, and this Barnes &…read moreNoble definitely delivers. With two stories filled with books, there's something for every reader. The staff is friendly and proactive, walking around to see if anyone needs assistance, which makes browsing even more enjoyable. The children's section is wonderful, and they offer a great variety of events for both families and adults. I also love the staff recommendation displays--they've introduced me to some fantastic reads. Overall, it's a welcoming, well-stocked bookstore that's always worth a visit.

    I discovered this location last Spring and am thrilled that it's so close to our home. We used to…read moredrive all the way out to the one that was practically in Forestville, which says a lot about the quality and values of this business. Service is warm, intelligent, and deeply informed. Plant selection for quality native plants is very good. Their plants are a little pricey --(perhaps 10-15% more than Home Depot for example) but they stand behind their plants/products. Any plants or products that don't work out, just bring your receipt and they will give you a store credit or credit your card. Much of the value Harmony offers is in the quality of the products, the plants, and the intelligent service. Seriously, there is nowhere else I could go to find out how to dig up a fern from acidic soil, and properly care for it while it overwinters before planting it under a nearby redwood tree in the Spring! Harmony Farms also carries extraordinarily unique products, such as Stella Natura's biodynamic planting guide and a wide variety of seasonal, organic specialty plants as well as hard-to-find organic soil amendments. Parking is abundant. They're located just off of the Hwy 101/Penngrove exit heading east. A large sign that says "Barn" offers a fairly quick turn on your R into a wide gravel driveway. Enjoy!

    I've bought a lot at Harmony, and not just because they're close by. The employees there actually…read moreknow what they're talking about and that's always a big plus for me. Another reason I really like harmony is they have a lot of unusual varieties that you could only get if you sent for the seed and started them yourself. They have lots of seeds pots and gardening utensils and supplies.
