First time I walked in this store.....I walked out with about 20 books that I was adding to my collection. A little treasure trove of a store for book lovers. Guy at the counter seemed surprised I was getting that amount.

Super Duper loved this place! One of the best organized used bookstores I’ve ever been too. Amazing selection for every genre. I found a lovely poetry book and a children’s book for my nephews. Every book looked in perfect condition. Could easily spend an hour here every weekend if I was a Chico local. Would definitely go back !

Great collections! The owner makes you feel welcome! He helped me and my friends look up some books and we were stoled to find some Kevin Starr’s books on California! We will definitely stop in next time.

The BEST book store in Chico. Period. This place is a Chico classic and a treasure. A perfect example of a local bookstore done right. Amazing selection of books covering a Wide variety of genres and subject matter. So so many gems to be found here. The chill & friendly vibes here, along with its location in dt Chico make this arguably one of the best bookstores in the North State.

Love the smell of used and old books. This is a haven for readers. As a Filipino, I stumbled upon a book that I used to read and study when I was in grade school and high school. It was written by a Filipino national hero, Noli Me Tangere by Jose Rizal. Read almost 20% of the book already. Will surely come back.

A very nice used book store. They have a nice selection of topics, but I personally don't stray far from the sci-fi section, which was surprisingly large. They had quite a few people in there for a Sunday afternoon. It looked like there was a gathering of typing aficionados in the room to the right. Quite the hang out location they have here.

Probably the best bookstore on the planet. Many happy memories here. Not merely a great selection of all sorts of books, the owners are some of the nuttiest, kindest, brightest folks you'll ever meet. N.B. If memory serves, most “massage” books can be found near or in the adult section.

Shop here, shop here, shop here. This is the kind of deep used bookstores with knowledgeable staff that is quickly disappearing. You can't browse and get inspired by scanning Amazon, but walking these shelves can open universes. Their prices are more than fair, the breadth of their collection is mind-boggling and the informed affirmations from staff as you pay are a great reminder of why we've always loved to spend time in establishments such as The Bookstore.
