It felt like they actually know what readers are excited about because they had so many of the newer, popular books in stock instead of just one copy tucked away on a shelf. The staff was incredibly kind, and the best part of the whole visit was spotting a signed copy of Caraval in the window for my stepdaughter's birthday. It felt like one of those little moments that was meant to happen. Basically... if you need an excuse to wander Sutter Street and accidentally leave with a stack of books, this is it.

I mean like a Barnes & Noble kitchen with sandwiches, burgers, pastas and even ribs - with separate seating and everything. The inside is massive, but organized and well stocked. I liked seeing the big book displays and the different sections they created. The kids area was also really nice and welcoming. While we didn't check out the cafe as we had just eaten lunch, we did buy a few books for our daughter. We could have spent hours here, but sadly we had to drive home. Staff were very friendly and helpful! You could always find at least one employee walking around in each section which I really liked. Overall, this is an amazing location! I highly suggest stopping in if you're in the area - buy a book and grab some lunch! Can't wait to come back next time we are in Folsom!

Crossroads is hands down the best metaphysical store for all your healing and "craft" needs. The…read moreproprietors, Eric and Katrina Rasbold are authors of many books and very experienced healers. These folks are the real deal. In addition to the products they make themselves on site and sell at the store, there are other services such as massage, spiritual cleansing and clearings and ancestral and energy work available. They have classes in an array of topics and they're often times free. Crossroads also features the products of other artisans and practitioners. You will find everything from jewelry, potions, soaps, crystals, raw stones, candles for divination, Tarot, Oracle, curios, sprays, powders, incense, bones, books, statuary, clothing, hats, charms, oils, etc. Crossroads also does a monthly Santa Muerte Veneration, moon and sabat rituals which are free and open to public as well as a monthly non-fiction book club. Crossroads is a beautiful store with wonderful energy and only about 20 minutes from Rancho Cordova. I visit this store from 2-3 times a month for classes, rituals and supplies. There is a vast array of divination candles for personal manifestation. You can purchase an already dressed candle or request a specific service from Katrina where she will work the magick for you. Eric and Katrina are very kind, helpful and welcoming and I highly recommend a visit to this store. You will absolutely find something you cannot live without, and even though I am a regular, I always see something new each time I visit. This is a great place for artisan goods as gifts or just to for yourself. So take a visit, enjoy some tea and take a look at all the cool products they feature.

I live clear across the country (NY) but got told about Crossroads from a friend in Massachusetts…read more They are, bluntly, amazing and authentic, and are now my #1 go to magical store in the US. There's magic, and there's wisdom. They don't always go together, but at Crossroads it's a perfect partnership, especially when manifested by Katrina and Eric Rasbold. I had a very difficult situation with someone attacking me out of their own fear and jealousy. Yes, of course I can rise above it -- but the truth of the matter is that it can hurt both my career and me personally. I brought the situation to the Rasbolds, who immediately set to work with candle magic as requested, and also suggested a Limpia (cleansing ritual) around the situation. Within 18 hours of the Limpia being completed, I was feeling much calmer, more compassionate towards the "Problem Person" -- and could feel that the hooks that had been placed in me, both spiritually and viscerally, had already been released. There are so many poseurs with metaphysics these days, that you can take your chances in finding a good one. Crossroads, and Katrina and Eric, are as fine, real and authentic as you get. My highest recommendation.

A book browsing dream. Really great used books store with an amazingly large selection of used…read morepaperbacks and some hardbacks. This place is outside of town but worth the drive. Bookworm has plenty of authors for every subject. The genres range from sci fi to legal aid to romance to just about anything. I went to purposefully look for parts of series that I was missing. I totally found what I needed at a good price. The used books range in quality from rough to new-ish. The ages also range from '70s to this year. The staff was super nice! They helped me find things and told me about the store. I loved the packed feel. It made me feel like I was in an overgrown library. The books like plants slowly taking over the store. I'll definitely be back. They even had books in the hallways. It was easy and fun to browse the shelves and the titles weren't too esoteric, not just hard back Shakespeare but plenty of beach reads and quality adventure novels to sink my mind into. Thanks for helping me finish 2 of my series!

Still, i allowed each of my children to pick one book. when we got home I discovered that my three year old had put a little board book in her bag without me knowing so we talked about it and resolved to return it and make things right. She's 3. It wasn't malicious theft. But when we returned to give the book back the lady simply said "humph well THATS not good." and she didn't say a word about thanking us for doing the right thing in returning it or understanding that toddlers need opportunities to correct their mistakes and learn right from wrong. The whole thing was very upsetting for my daughter who had been saying the entire car ride there "Im sorry mom I'll never do that again" but then was met with cold and unfriendly glares and harsh words at the store. i will never step foot in this overpriced and unfriendly book store again.

i came here on a whim. i'm from nevada. i saw nevada section that had a book with the UNR mackay…read morestatue, i took a picture with the book. the man behind the counter told me that "can i help you find anything" i said "no, im just looking" he said "this isn't a library the books, aren't to be played with" immediately put a bad taste in my mouth. i was taking a photo with the book, i was very interested in buying books but i immediately left. when i first came in i said "i could spend all day inside" and he had a bad attitude. i have never had a bad experience at a used book store. whatever you do don't come here. go to the library because at least they will give you better service then the one i had here. i'm going to address the remarks the owner made. it seems you barley remember me as a customer because when you said "When you first came in, I greeted you in a friendly manner welcoming you to the store" you never greeted us when we came in. we were only asked what we were looking for after i had been in the store for 20 minutes. bad customer service. if you genuinely wanted us to buy something you would be attentive and greeting every customer upon entering. "I perceived this as you playing with my books for entertainment or social media purposes, as I see far too often in my shop." so you're just assuming i wouldnt buy anything??? like you said i was bouncing around excited. i hadn't even seen all there was to see! you assumed i wasn't going to buy anything based off the fact that i wasn't looking at everything??? " Unfortunately, when I see someone taking selfies with books in my shop, the vast majority of the time they do not buy anything, now or ever." it wasn't a selfie... i was taking a picture with the back because i went to UNR and graduated there. when i went to half price books and they had a book from traner middle school no one came up to me to pressure me into purchasing something. "Some books only get a little more oil from the fingers, or slightly more thumbed pages. Others get ruined as they get dropped or crammed carelessly onto the shelf" notice how when you were disrespectful i didn't cram it back on the shelf i put it nicely back on the shelf but you don't want to include that in your response. unfortunately you don't understand the risks with running a bookstore because if you did you'd realized that books get handled and touched. if you're so worried put it behind a glass case so they don't get grabbed... you can't police every person who touches your books. i DID have a desire to purchase from your used bookstore however your attitude turned me away along with multiple other customers who wrote a review just like mine. "Please come with a genuine intention, respecting the books I have worked so hard on and invested so much in to provide them for you to browse" again with the assuming i won't buy anything that is disrespectful. i buy books from all types of stores. i just went to have price books and the money could've spent at your establishment went to someone else. i had intentions of buying from you but genuinely your rude attitude and your rotten response to my review really makes me never want to recommend this business to anyone. you profiled us is what you did. you used personal characteristics i had such as " Unfortunately, when I see someone taking selfies with books in my shop, the vast majority of the time they do not buy anything, now or ever", which you used to predict our behavior. next time put a sign saying if you're not going to buy anything don't come in! anyone looking to buy books in auburn please drive literally anywhere else! if i had known you conduct buisness i would've never step foot inside. support business who support you. some suggestions: grass root books, reno nv 1hr 40mins thistle & nightshade, reno nv 1hr 32mins half price books, citrus heights ca 31mins time tested books, sac ca 45 mins underground books sac, ca 2hrs 54mins

I was impressed at the many quite recent publications alongside many other well-known (or lesser known but well reviewed) books. I assume they have many loyal customers engaging in buy-back. Feels like the type of place that I could stop by without any particular book in mind, and walk out with a purchase I enjoy (which is essentially exactly what I want in a bookstore). The bookstore itself has a very old-timey bookstore feel, with wooden shelves (a bit narrow), a bookish smell, some haphazard stacks of books, and the kind of reverent silence I associate with the library. I loved it.
