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'.

The Harry Potter Potions Glitter Bottles Sticker Sheet are so pretty and cascade glitter when upside down! The Summer Motel Key Stickers are perfect for summer, they actually remind me of surfboards! The Hello Kitty and Friends Magnet set we have yet to test, but it's a great collectors item nonetheless! We'll definitely be returning soon, lol I wanted to buy out the store, but we spent a lot already! Lol good thing I didn't make my way to the magazine section! SYOY! :D

This is my favorite Barnes & Noble in the Sacramento area, in terms of experience…read more I decided to stop by for their annual end of year sale, and although it was busy, all the staff were super attentive and friendly to every customer that walked in. I visited this b&n location after visiting the Arden and Folsom location, and I was very excited to find that they were carrying a specific book that I couldn't find at the other two. A bookseller even came by to talk about the book with me and she was absolutely raving about it. I spent quite some time in this store, and was very surprised when she remembered me at checkout! I got a chance to chat with her and the bookseller at the cash register over about the book and what a pleasure it was. They've got a repeat customer out of me!

This used to be a great store when Don was the owner. Don…read moreis gone, but his wife Renee is now running the shop. Now it is terrible. We used to buy childrens books here almost weekly, their selection is decent while extremely unorganized. (Don't trip on the piles of books). Don was great, as he was always friendly and helpful, and it was clear he had a deep passion and love for books. We would bring in trade books as our kids grew up and outgrew their books, and they would discount any new purchases based on how much trade credit we had with them. The books were always priced well and reasonably, and while disorganized, it was the closest bookstore we had. it was always fun to look for treasures, and chat a bit with Don. Things went completely downhill when his wife took over the business. She got rid of the friendly cashiers and replaced them with what appears to be her friends, who know next to nothing about books, and are constantly in bad moods or throw attitude. Last week we were in line and the grey haired lady rand up a guy in front of us, saying nothing, then mockingly said something along the lines of "This is where you give me the credit card so that you pay", without saying anything else to him. No idea why she was so mad as a quiet customer who was confused by herr terrible attitude. We wanted to leave immediately, but we had two books to buy, so we had to deal with the aftermath. Then when we were checked out, she grumpily told us the price without looking at us. What on earth is happening here now. When we got home, we saw that the books were priced 1 or 2 dollars more than the new price, so even with our discount, we were practically paying new prices for books in fairly poor condition. We will be going elsewhere in the future. We just wish a decent bookstore would open in our area so we don't have to drive to Half Price. Maybe when his wife gives up, it will prompt someone else to open a shop who actually cares.

Where my mom lives they don't have a similar bookstore near her so this was a treat for her. They had a lot of items on clearance and good stuff too. Books, photo albums, games, ect. A new item I've never seen before was Old Testaments with journal aspects included in each page. The book is extra large and they have margins with blank lines in it for journaling. They also have all sorts of styles. The one that caught my attention was the one with flowers on the front. I think this is a great invention for someone who love studying the Old Testament and wants to take notes so they can refer back to them. I believe they have this for the New Testament too. They also had a great assortment of men's ties and socks. That was a new addition to a book store. They had beautiful white handkerchiefs with the Temple Embroidered on it in white. They also carry drinks and snacks, that's a new addition. And I was surprised to see food in a bookstore. They also carry games for all ages. This is a really nice bookstore and it is a one shop stop for you Church needs.

Having attended Rudolf Steiner College for several years of training and loving almost every minute…read moreof it, I was super disappointed with the experiences I had in the RS campus bookstore. Yes, it was clean and brightly lit, with all sorts of lovely 'Waldorf' approved items for sale including make-up, art supplies and texts but my overall experience with service was the pits. My story is this: I bought books the first week of school that were not to be used until the second week and when the professor decided the text (Percival) was not to be used... the bookstore would not take it back. According to them the cover was bent. It had sat in my car with absolutely no use for a week. I explained that the bend was from shelf wear..not my car but they wouldn't have it. I appealed to their shift manager who again told me the same thing and then asked me to leave. How embarrassing!!! I left the book on the counter, attempting to give them the book for free so that it could find another home that needed it and they refused to take it back as a gift saying it was used. For a campus that prides itself on sustainable behaviors I found this totally silly! I walked down to the library and left it there like it was some sort of peace offering. Anyway..now I go out of my way to use Amazon, eBay and other online resources to get books for my Steiner training...and I have found it is much cheaper and way more friendly! Yea Waldorf boo RS Fair Oaks Bookstore!

This store is a gem. The staff is so kind, eager to help you find what you need (and order it if…read morethey don't have it), and very well-versed in both their products and Steiner philosophy. The store has a large education section, brimming with curriculum materials for Waldorf teachers, curious parents, and those who are homeschooling. In the back room is a lovely toy selection, with sturdy, well-made and beautiful toys such as one might find in a Waldorf classroom or kindergarten. Their hand-made dolls are stunning! One of my favorite parts of the store is the selection of beautiful beeswax candles, and also the craft and art supplies. Lots of books on felting, knitting, doll-making, rose windows, and the materials for the craft projects, along with a nice selection of Stockmar crayons and Lyra pencils. Also, this is one of the few places one can find beeswax and main lesson books (they make lovely journals, or scrapbooks, in addition to their educational uses). Regarding the previous review by Sabina, I've returned items on different occasions and have never encountered a problem. This is a small store and they probably can't afford to accept back trashed merchandise as a "loss" (like Wal-mart or something). It's unfortunate to write off a beautiful, unique store for one miscommunication. **Now you can also order their products on-line through their website! Fantastic!**

My wife and I drove a little over an hour to check out this Christian bookstore. I am writing this…read morereview after having visited twice and it is hands-down the best Christian bookstore in the area. Not only where we greeted with smiles and wonderful Christian music playing, the whole store was nostalgic to the old Christian bookstores we grew up going to. The store has a wide variety of all things for your spiritual walk ranging from books to pens to brand new Bibles and even apparel. On top of coming here to shop for a few things to take back home, they offer Bible engraving! I was able to engrave my name onto my brand new Bible, buy a brand new Bible and engrave it for my dad, and also buy two Bible cases for those brand new Bibles. I also walked out with a couple of Christian themed T-shirts, a handful of candy, and a huge smile on my face. Everything there is definitely worth the price tags, which aren't that much to be honest, and all of it is backed by good quality service. Each person that works there is very knowledgeable about all the items in their store and are quick to help and order anything that they may not have. If you are in the Sacramento area or even if you are an hour out and are looking for good quality Christian materials, you need to be here. Spread the word and let the communities know about this place.

It's cool that they're run by volunteers and that supposedly all proceeds go to the Davis Library,…read morebut what threw me off was how they have a whole section dedicated to Zionism. It was the last thing I expected to see in cute ole Downtown Davis. I'd say come to Sac if you're looking for bookstores that won't make you feel weird entering. Edit: To clarify, I found it pretty disappointing that there was an entire shelf dedicated to European history, and another shelf generalized as "world history". Within the "world history" shelf, I saw a row of books specifically about Israel and Zionism, albeit not labeled as such. The only book with Palestine in the title was on display, but on the back cover it specified that it recounts the "experiences of Zionist women settling in Palestine", and not indigenous Palestinians. I scanned the shelf and didn't see a single book about Palestine, despite a fair number on Israel. Given how charged this topic is with the ongoing genocide in Gaza, I felt uncomfortable as it seemed that the bookstore had taken an intentional stance by not providing, at the very least, accounts of both sides of the matter.
