I have been going to tin can mailman since I was a kid in the late 1980's. I love this bookstore…read morefiercely and have found so many fabulous treasures here over the years. Used to be an easy 5/5 stars. Recently I visited in late August 2026, and was completely appalled at the lack of books, empty shelves everywhere and total disorder of the entire store, especially upstairs (ommmg the art section??? The architecture section? The automotive manual section???????? Wtf) There are hundreds of books everywhere in the process of being damaged due to neglectful haphazard organization and what I can only attest to current workers not doing their jobs, AND not enough books being acquired by the store since they implemented their slow-paced book intake by months-out-appointment only policy, which has had the result of tons of empty shelves all over the store. The disarray of upstairs book sections was just unbelievable, shocking and deeply upsetting- what was once neat and tidy was just a huge awful careless mess. I was compelled to prop up diagonal, fallen-over stacks of books all over the store when I was visiting which was highly distracting from my usual positive book perusing experience there. There are books all over the floor and books too tall being shoved into short shelves, which causes all of the books that fit to shift over diagonally . What the heck, please please please hire someone who is highly skilled at organization and actually cares about the state of the shop, and get more books on the shelves by bringing back your old book intake policy to fill the shelves up so there isn't room for things to fall over. Get it together, this shop is such a treasure, and currently it just feels like something is deeply wrong and some cog in the machine is missing. I have a big pile of awesome valuable art books I have wanting to bring to sell to the shop for the last year and a half but I keep getting put off by the months long wait. This scheduled waiting system does not work for forgetful folks like me who live in the moment and have a helluva time keeping distant appointments in the future. I'm sure I am not the only one.

Look. It's Humboldt County. I didn't expect a legitimate game store and this place delivered. I was…read moreimpressed by the selection, offering board games from the classics to the traditional to the innovative. The store is in a wooden structure that looks like it should hold power tools, but never judge a book by its cover (or a game). We have bought several birthday and Christmas gifts here and the staff are some of the most knowledgeable about board games of varying types. We have also been introduced to new games here, and the prices are competitive with other game stores across the country. Instead of jumping on Amazon and enriching Jeff Bezos and his union busting ways, drop in to NCR and support local games stores. Also, Jesus Christ is Lord! Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

This is the Arcata branch of the larger store in Eureka…read more Right on the main plaza beneath the hotel, it holds up the lower end of the arts and crafts market in Arcata. Not meaning that the quality is poor, but the the pieces are generally small, lower in price and easy to carry away than the competetion on the other side of the plaza. While well made, I would categorize the selection as a bit "cutsie," which for me is a turn-off. After 30 minutes of browsing, I found nothing to buy, which is unusual for me. If looking for a gift for a student there, this is the place to come. But for more mature tastes, I would go elsewhere.

I am new to the area, and a week ago went into this store with my husband. I found several things I…read moreliked, although pricey. We bought a purse with no tag. The owner had to be called over the phone to verify the price. I bought the bag for $44. It was only a week, and the zipper started breaking. I went down there yesterday and the owner was present. I told her about the problem with the bag, and she remembered the exchange about the original purchase, but she refused to give me the other bag in exchange for the broken one. her reason was that I had been incorrectly quoted on the price of the first one, and I was only to recieve credit for that part and would have to pay the difference which was $40 more dollars. In no way was any of this my fault, of course. The shoddy over priced merchandise, her pricing error, or her hapless teenage employee who was just trying to help. I still was getting screwed by this old snatch with an overpriced junk shop. I took my bag back and left, never to return. Maybe I can glue it.
