Great little store filled with amazing treasures and an extensive library of old and rare out-of-print books. A MUST TO SEE if traveling through or in the area! They also have more books at a location in Grass Valley called BOOKTOWN BOOKS, a co-op of multi-booksellers selling used and old/rare books under one roof. Visit space #24.

I'm a big fan of science fiction/fantasy and was sadly disappointed that there was only one shelf for me to choose from. That aside, I probably could have easily found something I'd enjoy from their very large array of simply "fiction" books. The plus side, if you'd like a coffee and some quiet time in a little library with your computer, this is definitely the place to go as there is a coffee shop in the next room. Definitely has its own cute little vibe, I'm sure I'll be back.

I have never stepped foot inside the Nevada County Court House. Never had a need to do so. But I…read morewas driving on Broad Street in Nevada City and the building, a street away in Church Street, caught my attention. Tall building, one of the tallest in the downtown area, painted white. It had an art deco design, very cool vintage version. Clean geometric lines and soft angular corners. It even had art deco lettering and of course a clock on the front facade. So my review is more from the perspective of a tourist, history buff, and amateur admirer of architecture. The first court house was built on Broad Street in 1851. It was a wood structure along with the log cabin jail. In 1856, the court house moved to its present day location. In the years ensuing, it has burnt down several times but always rebuilt. In 1900, it went through an extensive remodeling and updating. But in 1937, the renovations for its present day architectural presence occurred. The commissioned architects was George Sellon. Sellon was a noted architect of his time. He was the first California State Architect 1907. This position was created by the Governor after the devastating 1906 San Francisco earthquakes and fire. He resigned the post after two years due to Legislation preventing him from working on his own private projects. His work is listed under many historical registries. His Sacramento based private architectural business continues today as Lionakas. I drive by the present day Lionakas office and never put the history together until now just by a happen chance lazy weekend excursion to Nevada City. Luv the rich history of our local gold mine counties.

Hardy Books is a by-appointment only dealer, located within Nevada City. John is one of the…read morekindest, friendliest folks that you will ever come across, and his love of California Literature and books in general is contagious. Setting up an appointment to view the books is not a big deal and he is very flexible with regards to hours or giving you enough time to view the books that you are interested in. His prices are definitely higher than say Ames or Booktown Books, however the quality of his stock is very high and he takes great pride on making sure that all of his books are protected in brodart and in the highest condition possible. I definitely recommend Hardy Books to anyone who has an interest in California History/Literature and who enjoys hunting for that rare or unusual volume. John is a very kind man, very knowledgeable in his own stock and history as well and you will definitely learn aspects of California unique history from him. Highly recommended!
