Honestly my mom and I walked in and left very quickly because we felt very unwelcome which was so odd after the rest of our very pleasant trip around town. Honestly don't bother with this place, there are tons of other great shops around. Also their "children's" section says "For Little Bairns" and that's just lazy.

This place is absolutely adorable! We came for a bridal tea party. The owner provided us with a…read morenice rental space, cute tea time dishes, and several yummy dishes. There were also several older books in the store, as this is primarily a book consignment store. If you are looking for a cute place to host a small party, they do that too.

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.

Nice, curated and reasonably priced selection in a cute little shop. Very friendly service.read more

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!

The book stock is adequate, and is well organized with the exception of an unmanageably large philosophy/religion/theology section. The other guy's review seems rather unfair -- without knowing the specifics of his situation, it's far more common for a person to think they have a valuable book that's actually worthless (most commonly, with a modern first edition vs. a book club edition) than for a book seller to make a definitively wrong call, although it does happen.

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!
