Such a charming bookstore, although we did not purchase any books, but cute plush pigs, a hat, and a game. The nicest woman helped us while we admired a puppet that looked similar to our own cat. Great selection of books and loved the comfort of the surroundings. read more

I don't have a whole lot to say about Copperfields, other than I really preferred this store to the Copperfields in Napa, and I've grown found of the trend of shelving the books with the front cover facing out. It's somehow more engaging for me, despite meaning that the number of books carried is less. I also note that the store places genre above other considerations, so that you can have fiction horror shelves with non-fiction sensationalist titles. Interesting idea. There are also attractive gifts available. read more

Great selection of books in a fantastic book store. I've been to other Copperfield's locations and they are all great. There's more than just books, with greeting cards and other small toys in the store. Friendly staff. They helped me find where home/DIY books were located which I had fun browsing while waiting for my wife to decide on what book to get for our road trip. There was also a nice amount of books in the sale section, which is always a fun way to discover new gems (at great value!) read more

Nothing to add to my previous review. A top notch bookstore like the pre Amazon days. A solid go. No question. Every one of their stores is solid. read more

They have the coolest people working there, and a girl helped me get the perfect things for my dad. They seem to know what people want, and their cafe has pretty good coffee. read more

It's the centerpiece of our small town. Love their books, magazines and gift selections. We need to save and shop in local small bookstores.

I always love coming to this bookstore when we are visiting. I have to be honest, I rarely buy books here BUT they have so much fun other stuff! This visit I bought two puzzles and a bat purse. I love to look through their selection. read more

I wish they had more options, but I think it's such a small spot I can understand why they don't. I have tried to purchase a few books but they didn't have any of them in stock, maybe 5 in the last 8 months the or so. They'll order anything for you though! Very nice people. No Judy Moody books though. I was like... whaaaaa? Hahh. Great cute little spot with a small business feel. read more

Definitely an amazing gem of a bookstore. There are so many books and crannies to explore inside that you might just find yourself spending more time here than you planned. The layout of the bookstore is ordered and it's easy to navigate your way around. The different sections are marked clearly and the sections each have their own feel and vibe. The kids section in the back is super cool with lots of toys and interesting picture books to look through. What we liked most about this store was all of the accoutrements adorning the shelves. Custom note cards and stationary were next to literary shirts and look up to see the dragon kites hanging from the ceiling. With all of those items it didn't feel cluttered or too busy. It felt charming and exciting. I don't know when I'll ever be in Sebastopol again, but if I am then I know I will be back to enjoy this bookstore. read more

Copperfield's Books - Look how happy this guy looks just chilling reading a book:) - Bookstores Near Me - Sebastopol, California

Probably my second favorite of the Copperfield's locations (first being Petaluma, of course!). Wendell Berry book count: 5, one of which I didn't have (but we remedied that, of course. :) ) read more

Enjoyable place to browse. Knowledgeable staff really helpful when you need suggestions. A bit pricey as expected, but I've never been disappointed. Cozy and nice to read a book over a cup of coffee, tea, etc. read more

My favorite bookstore. Great selection of lgbt books . And the staff always helps me find what I'm looking for or will order it for you .

Knowing that an incredible book store exists is a wonderful find while wandering around Sebastopol. After picking up apples, we decided to stop in town to look around. Copperfield's is one of those places where you didn't intend to spend a long time or a bit of change but we did. I was mainly looking at children's books for my grandson and found entire sections very layed out and inviting to brouse. Just going through the children's section took awhile but it was well worth it. No doubt it is a lot of fun to wander through a bookstore but it is well worth the time. Hopefully I'll carve out a few hours to check on the other sections of this wonderful bookstore in the future. read more

This bookstore was open when I was in high school. Currently my oldest child is 29 so you know it's been around awhile! It's still my favorite book store in the world! Great selection of books and the store vib is great! I visit every time I am in town. read more

Great bookstore with tons of books (duh), magazines, gifts etc. I found gotten good deals here for gifts. This is one of the first places I stop in Sebastopol while looking for gifts. They have adorable necklaces, cute planners and candles. Also tons of random little clips/bookmarks and all those things you don't really need but must buy anyways. The employees are super helpful for finding books and they wrap gifts here too. Only negative is they don't carry everything a bigger bookstore might. They do order for you but it just means you have to wait it out. read more

I have a big thing for bookstores. This bookstore is a diamond int he ruff. It has tables of books and shelves of books while still remaining modest and still very much a mom and pop. there is nothing commercial about this place and you can tell by the loads of funky little knick knacks to tea tumblers and coffee cups. Small area by the cashier to satisfy your craving for a kitschy bauble or two, or maybe a bookmark or light. Love the kids section in the back. Small toys and craft-like items here as well. Not too crowded and very children friendly. TIP: Check out the sale shelf in the front for some cheap, great finds. ;) read more

For selection and browsing, this place is pretty good, with lots of unusual and obscure books. It's not as big as I expected, maybe only 10,000 books. However -- just about every book is listed on the internet, and all prices reflect that market. So don't expect to find a good deal on anything here. Even the antique malls in the area are better for old book bargain hunting. read more

It's so rare to find bookstores these days that whenever I travel anywhere and I hear there's a bookstore, I always make it a point to stop by. This one has a bunch of gift goodies to look through so walked out with a cute canvas bag and canvas pouch. Loved just walking around and browsing books read more

My wife and I love the author signings. It's great to hear authors speak about their books and get an opportunity to ask them questions. We love Copperfields for hosting these. read more

this is all about supporting independent bookstores. great store, decent prices, pretty diverse selection. big kids section in the rear. lots of fun knick knacks and gift items, too. quaint mom & pop feel to it. street parking, or there is a tiny lot across the alley in the back. friendly staff. read more

I'm a big fan of this bookstore. I buy every book here. If they don't have it, they can get it very quickly. I like the kids that work there, they seem like they actually read! I also get my Christmas cards and wrapping paper here every year. read more

I love this place. I buy my books in stacks at a time and thanks to copperfield's great selection of used books, I don't have to break my wallet while doing so! Plus if you buy and sell books there, you get a punch card toward more books. Super chill atmosphere, helpful friendly staff, adorable cat, great location! What more could you ask for? :) read more

Small local book stores are worth supporting and this one is no exception. They offer reasonable prices, they will order books on the honor system and offer a club card for juicy discounts. If you believe in shopping local you should really enjoy supporting these folks read more

What can you say? Copperfield's is one of the last great small bookstores. Maybe not THAT small, but certainly not one of the huge chains -- and the staff know their books! Yes... they actually read them and can talk about them and make recommendations! Wow. Love this bookstore. They carry a good selection of magazines, greeting cards and other items too. It's also on a great downtown block in Sebastopol with restaurants, clothing and art stores, a music store, etc. within feet of Copperfield's. What's not to like? read more

If a bookstore is allowing children to shop there, they should also allow children to use the bathroom. I went with my 11 year old. He had a book in his hand to purchase, but had to go to the bathroom. They refused to allow him. I told them it was an emergency. They told me to go blocks away. We left the book, and purchased it for $9 less on Amazon. If you cannot allow children to use your bathroom, you should stick to curbside pickup! read more

This is the original Copperfield's Books; their first location before they branched out to Petaluma, Calistoga, Santa Rosa and Napa. Awhile back, they had a display highlighting Russian-themed books- appropriate, since http://www.fortross.org is about an hour away. They have huge selections of cookbooks and magazines. During the Gravenstein Festival, they have baskets of local apples. It's a bookstore that will definitely be an apple of your eye! read more

I want to praise the used book section of the Copperfield's Book Store in Sebastopol, a few doors down from the main store on Main Street. While it has fewer books than, for instance, Treehorn in Santa Rosa, it has a very pleasant atmosphere, a friendly, knowledgeable staff, an enough comfortable chairs to sit and browse in books you may want to buy because they are interesting - even if you don't necessarily need them. Prices are reasonable. Most books, at least in the fiction section, are paperbacks. But there's also a fine selection of books on philosophy, poetry, and literary criticism (essays). Several days a week (call for hours) you can "sell" your own books (if they have resell value) for store credit. read more

Great local bookstore. Great selection, beautifully displayed, helpful staff. A great resource and with some really good speakers.

It's a little hard, as a bibliophile, to give this place 2 stars. Especially since outside of The Book Passage in Marin and, to a lesser extent, Mockingbird Books in Seb and Guerneville, there aren't any really good bookstores. But having lived most of my life in Eugene, Portland, Olympia, Seattle...places with truly great bookstores... After about a decade I still don't begin to comprehend their system for sections nor why books are placed where they are (or why copies aren't placed in the several spots that would logically apply). I also don't understand why they don't provide a kiosk, nor the functionality on their website, to check IF a book is in stock, and if so, where it is located. I do appreciate their "Employee recommends" section though I wish it included a photo or some sort of symbol of their choosing to help us remember which employees tastes I like. And I do appreciate the "new fiction" and "new non-fiction" tables. But I find it too hard and unituitive of a bookstore to navigate, that is overstocked with trending books at the expense of a solid core. read more

My husband and I want to acknowledge MB of the Sebastopol Copperfield's. We were looking for a book that is difficult to get. In fact, Copperfield's couldn't get it for us, but it wasn't through lack of trying. MB went *more* than the extra mile in checking databases and distributors, and even talked to the manager to see if there was a way to get the book. Her telephone manner was polite, friendly and upbeat. We felt like MB wanted us to have the book nearly as much as we did. That is good service, even when the result isn't perfect. Thanks to MB and the Sebastopol store for great customer service. read more

Copperfield's Music no longer exists (check out Incredible Records instead), but the used bookstore is fabulous. They have an excellent collection of rare books and first editions as well as the usual mishmash of old oddities and used copies of that book you just have to have. I nearly always find something, even if it's not what I thought I wanted. Prices are reasonable, but this isn't the place to find a cheap deal (although the dollar shelf out front can surprise you). Copperfield's new book bookstore down the street is only a four star. Decent selection, but lacking a certain something or other... read more

For the lovers of books everywhere! This place is well organized to cater to the one who's looking for something specific and with areas to the one who's ready to be inspired. They have a great selection and the staff is friendly and helpful. read more

The book selection is good, the prices are great, and the cat who lives here is excellent. Copperfield's Books is one of my favorite places to go when I visit my parents in Sebastopol. Also, when you become a frequent buyer and donator, you can get a punch card toward more books. Who doesn't love more books?! read more

Sweet helpful people willing to help out an old veteran. Thank you for being kind and helpful when I was choosing a present for someone
