Love this used/new bookstore that is heavily stocked and organized. It's so important to have a neighborhood independently owned bookstore! The staff and owner are friendly, courteous, and enthusiastic. Cozy, quiet places for book-lovers to gather and a real sense of community. A gem! read more

I've been wanting to visit this place for a while but it's usually closed when we go to sushi next door. We came earlier than normal so were happy to get a chance to check it out! It is so big with so many books! The rooms just keep going and going. I really liked the way the books were organized on the shelves and the prices are great. I picked up a book that felt brand new. Service is great, love to support a local place like this. Highly recommend if you or someone you love loves books! read more

We bought a few new books/toys for a birthday gift a few weeks ago and the place was packed with both customers and piles of books ready for re-sale. The owner was helpful and calm despite being the only employee. The set-up is cozy, with the little designated reading nooks set up in each themed area - the perfect place for a rainy day hangout. I would definitely go back without my kids to just take my time - the selection seems pretty unique and worth slowly lingering over. read more

Do you remember bookstores that sold used books? Every year, there seem to be less of them around. But hold up... The Bookhouse exists! It's a small business, independently owned, family ran bookstore located in Cameron Park, CA. It's located in a newish shopping plaza on Green Valley Road. They mostly sell used books but do have inventory of some new books along with small gifts and puzzles. The shop is clean, no musky dank paper smell or dusty shelves. It's charmingly decorated which adds to the welcoming vibe. The books are tidily stacked on the shelves. The condition of the books are superb. The prices are outstanding. For instance, used hard copies of Stieg Larsson's Millennium Trilogy books were $6. They do have a childrens and teens section as well. Currently they are closed on Sunday and Monday. Open Tues-Wed 10:30am-5:30pm and Thurs-Sat 10:30am-6:30pm. But they are social media savvy, so please check FB or IG for more details and the latest greatest happenings.

See all

Absolutely adore this bookstore. It's a magical maze of books with great options and lovely books sellers!

Great selection of books. They also carry some puzzles and greeting cards. I always stop in and buy some of the greeting cards produced by Fresh Cut Paper, beautiful bouquets flowers made with paper. Very friendly and helpful staff. read more

Great selection. Knowledgeable owners. Friendly, organized and clean. Today was our first visit and we will definitely return! read more

Stepping into The Bookhouse was like diving into a world of literary wonders! It's not just a bookstore, it's a cozy haven where new releases mingle with beloved classics. I loved how they showcase their sci-fi/fantasy right at the front (as they should!) because it sets a great tone for the adventure of exploring the store. The self-help and psychology sections surprised me, in a good way! It's refreshing to see such diverse offerings in these topics in a moderately sized store. I find that smaller bookstores usually trend towards being predominantly fiction/mystery/romance, so this was a breath of fresh air to find such a strong amount of variety in nonfiction subgenres like those Finding this gem in my hometown made my day. It reminds me of the long-lost Sundance/Bear Mountain bookstores that we had in the Bel-Air shopping center in the 90s. The atmosphere of the Bookhouse invites exploration, and the staff radiates bookish passion. I highly recommend a visit to The Bookhouse. Being there is a refreshingly warm embrace in comparison to giant corporate bookstores like Barnes & Noble. It's great for book lovers like me who are seeking a personal touch. It's worth every moment! read more

Awesome selection of books and so cute! They had so many books I was genuinely blown away!

The owner Heather is friendly and knowledgeable. She will give you suggestions if you ask and she always recommends books I end up loving. She understands my tastes and listens to what I'm looking for. I'm always amazed how she knows so much. She has a great selection and a wide selection for everyone; as well as can order new books. It's the best of both worlds. Since I have started going to her a year ago...I will not go anywhere else. Thank you Heather! Gina-EDH read more

I love love love getting books here Used books and cheaper than Barnes and nobles Independently Owned by a family who are super sweet It's bigger on the inside as well Super organized and is so nice to look around in and easy to find stuff read more

Best book store around. I remember when she first opened and love the fact that when I visit now the place is packed with beautiful books, puzzles and other items. If the book is not in stock they will order it for you with a quick turnaround. Thank you for following through with your vision and blessing our little area with it. read more

Love this little store! Found so many interesting books here and the prices are super fair. Have yet to bring in books for credit but it seems like a pretty seamless process from what I gathered while shopping in the store. Lots of chairs available throughout the store and there's never any pressure while you browse. They are always super friendly and helpful as well. read more

The whole family enjoys going here. Something for everyone and you never know what you're going to stumble upon.

Love this bookstore. Can trade in books I've read and get replacements for half the price. The store carries a little bit of everything. From pulp sci-fi to philosophy to photography books to history. And the constant rotation of books makes repeat trips just as exciting an expedition. Keep up the good work and the owner is very knowledgeable and helpful. Hopefully this store will be here for many years to come! read more

I absolutely love The Bookhouse! The shop much bigger than you would imagine. The staff is kind and incredibly helpful. I love being able to sell books and browse in the wide selection of books offered. The prices are also great for what is being offered. read more

This is my favorite bookstore! Heather is awesome, the selection is top notch, and the atmosphere is casual and welcoming. I always find good stuff here- it's not hit or miss like other used book stores. I asked Heather about a book and she didn't have it- but she is so amazing that I found it the next week- she had ordered it for me! Seriously I love this place. read more

So happy they're BACK! We are lucky to have such a great little book store in our community. I kept browsing online for books for my baby, but finally decided to stop in with him today (despite him basically not leaving the house right now). The Bookhouse is SO clean, and we lucked out and had the place to ourselves. We were able to look at a ton of books, and pick the ones we liked best. The biggest downside - there's so many to choose, you'll likely have to narrow down your pickings. We got out with a great assortment of books, at an unbeatable price. Can't wait for our next book store trip. Masks were used, tons of hand sanitizer, and the place feels very clean. read more

I have perused many a bookstore as a life long book addict. I have been to bookstores that had literal stacks piling on the floor throughout the whole shop, whose shelves were perfectly organized, whose shelves created mazes to get lost in. But never have I been to a book store that did all of this at once. Getting lost in the shelves and stacks of The Bookhouse is my absolute favorite way to spend an afternoon. Heather has created the perfect atmosphere to meet any book lovers wishes. You can chat away with her or pretend you are alone in a Narnia of books. You can look at only the shelves, guided by author alphabetical or you can sit and sort through piles on a treasure hunt. My favorite way is to do it all. I start by getting lost and all but ignoring Heather (sorry!!!), followed by chatting about new reads we have discovered while I look at the neat shelves and I end by digging through the piles in the front. In terms of selling books, it is definitely worth it. I am constantly turning in books, to buy more books of course. TLDR: Heather is amazing. The stacks are amazing. The shop is amazing. Go. Now. read more

I've only been here once but the place was well organized and the staff was nice! Just glad there are still some good used book stores out there. read more

I love this bookstore! The Bookhouse has a wide variety of both used and new books. They're well organized and each category has a large assortment within it. They have everything from Current Affairs, Military and History, Religious, Manga, Cooking, and, of course, Fiction. Plus a lot more. The books on the shelf are carefully curated so it's not just junk. They'll even order books on request. And, they take trade-ins for store credit. The Bookhouse is a rare treasure in Cameron Park. read more

This is a marvelous bookstore. Heather, the owner, was helpful and her store is amazing. I found a bunch of kid books for my grandkids as well as drawing books for myself. She has tons of other genres! Stop by, you won't regret it! read more

This is a fabulous bookstore and is my favorite independent business. Great atmosphere, tons of great books, the owner is very helpful and friendly. read more

A really awesome bookshop with a huge selection of new and used books. The entrance is deceiving-- it is so much bigger inside and there is a cool little reading nook in the kids section. My kids pick out a book here almost every week and I can always find something new to read. Love that this bookstore exists! read more

We absolutely love this place. Heather is a very pleasant and friendly person. They have a great selection of books for all ages and its a pleasure to support this business. Ordering books is easy and I was notified immediately upon arrival. This is a wonderful addition to our community. read more

Loved this store it's right around the corner from my house . I mentioned to the lady working I was looking for an Angela Davis book . They didn't have any but the next time I went in they have a few. Which was very sweet of the owner to actually pay attention to things her customers are asking for . I appreciated that very much and the book was great . Thank You read more

We live down the street from this shopping center and when I saw the Bookhouse added to the marquee, I secretly hoped it would become a neighborhood gem that would draw us to this shopping center. Well, secrets hopes fulfilled! Heather is responsive, helpful, kind, and welcoming. She has been wiping down books and using extra safety precautions. Masks are required inside the store, which we appreciate. There are used books as well as some new and trending titles available. I've also messaged her on Facebook to see if she has a particular title; if she doesn't have it, she will get it and usually within a couple of days. She can pre-order titles that haven't been released yet, as I've done a handful of times during the pandemic. Prices are very fair, and she accepts trade ins of good used condition books. In short, this a true neighborhood gem . Every time I step in,my young readers are drawn in to the shelves, browsing to their heart's content. I dream of coming here without them to truly browse at leisure and soak in the full bookstore experience. It has that "escape from it all and engulf yourself in a story" kind of feel that indie bookstores are known for. read more

Great place, nice selection of books and atmosphere. A just right bookstore with an attentive manager/owner.

Love it! Nicely organized, friendly and helpful owner. Lots of selection, even current books. Good place to take already read books and stock up on more. A great addition to our area, just what we needed! read more
