Second chances is a lovely used book store, with inviting places to perch and read, and a good…read morecrowd was present when we visited. We just didn't find much that was if interest for us. It reminded me of a good library bookstore. The prices were very reasonable, and the staff friendly and knowing many of the customers present. Again, the selection was a bit limited, but that never kept me from repeat visits.

What a cute little bookstore to explore in Guerneville! The selection is a good mix of contemporary…read moreand classic books, and there are also some fun knickknacks and apparel for sale too. I appreciated getting to chat with the owner about some different book options and found a couple of good things on my TBR list to buy!

Love the used fiction section! I also find the active typewriters to be incredibly fun and…read morewhimsical. The owners dog is sooooo cute.

Went in here for a last minute baptism gift…read more Such an awesome store! So peaceful, magical in a way, many items to look at. The owner was super knowledgeable and community oriented. Beautiful Orthodox art, huge variety of nesting dolls, Christmas decor, so much to look at I need to go back soon and spend more time there. I found a baptism prayer card, cross and nun nesting doll for my gifts. Some prices were great, very affordable, some items had very high prices that confused me, I assume they were antiques, many items were imported too. Even if you're not of the faith you should still come check this place out. The Orthodox Christmas decor, such as Christmas tree nesting dolls and the beautiful jewelry. There's really something for everyone.

Amazing store from icons to books, to prayer ropes and more. The selection of books is incomparable…read moreas is the service from Daniel the owner. Makes you feel right at home and can help you with whatever you're looking for whether it's a book on deep theology or history, or a book for inquirers and catechumans. Every time I'm in Santa Rosa I always make sure to make a quick stop at Not of This World Icons.

Love our local bookstores in Healdsburg!…read more Levin is conveniently located right on the Healdsburg Plaza, so we often pop in to browse before or after going to dinner. And it's a go-to stop for gift purchasing (we've purchased board books from here to send to friends who've had babies!). They sell so many treasures! Of course they sell books, but they also sell vinyl records, local art (custom dog paintings caught our eye!!!), games, and more. On our recent visit, we enjoyed looking through their many board games. Need to add a new one to our collection soon. Thanks Levin for keeping books and vinyl alive, and to supporting awesome local artists! We'll be back again soon!

Before the age of the internet, people were forced to read complete sentences without acronyms or…read moreemojis. Sort of like the arcane sentence above. Don't despair, Levin also has an art gallery and sells records and CDs. There are many pages of writing in folders called books. These 'books' are placed on tables and shelves according to category, with signs that require even more reading. Levin's is a wonderland of great books, and so inviting. A clerk spent 15 minutes with us giving useful suggestions for our summer reads collection. There truly is something for everyone here. Except wine. It's good to buy a couple of books for a long plane ride, or other situations where your cell battery died & you might otherwise be forced to observe your surroundings or interact with another human. LOL Please support this local family business before Amazon finds out they exist.

I've been wanting to stop in and check out this place as they are local and getting great reviews. The owner said he's been there for over two decades. There is a wonderful collection of loose-leaf tea, books, and gifts. If you are seeking books on spirituality, religion, meditation, etc, they have a nice collection of published work. They also carry beautiful cards, incense, and teapots. They had a special display of their matcha products too. The atmosphere is soothing and peaceful. If you would like to relax with a cup of tea, there are a couple tables inside and a few outside as well. You can see their colorful teapots in the window.

Lots of teas to choose from and they explained each tea to us, will definitely be back!read more

St. Eugene's Cathedral Books&Gifts is an unlikely place to find inspiring gifts. For one thing, the…read moregift shop is challenging to find... though there are interesting sights along the way such as a statuary depiction of Our Lady of Fatima with the children&their sheep. The signage can be confusing. Once you avoid the reserved parking spots, it can be a relatively easy walk. St. Eugene's Cathedral Books&Gifts has a surprisingly large variety of books for its tiny space. They have several booklets of novenas, and an extensive DVD selection. Service is friendly&helpful. What it lacks in space (and easy directions) it makes up for a great selection and amiable people! A cute little nook in Santa Rosa.
