Such an awesome store that I went twice while visiting Santa Cruz. They had a good selection of used books and I loved their setup.

This is an excellent book store. I have not been to one as great and well stocked in many years. They have it all, obscure books that were published years ago and current classics.

this is hands down the biggest bookstore i have ever visited! they have a huge selection of new books, and a smaller selection of used books. there was also a fun section of non-book gifts and kids toys.

Great bookstore. I think we spent a couple of hours browsing. And in the manner appropriate for all good bookstores, I didn't intend to buy anything, but still walked out with a number of books. I'll definitely be coming back.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Questions & Answers

I have twelve numbered Killion prints which I purchased at your shop and then framed in classic silver frames. I am ready to sell them. Are you interested in purchasing them or taking them on consignment? I can send photos of them by e-mail.

I'm quite close to the owners of Bookshop SC and this familiar with their day to day operations, and personally I'd highly recommend calling, emailing, or going online directly via their official website for that. You're far more likely to get a response from their staff that way. Hope that helps! Cheers!

What are the Covid safety practices like here?

Excellent covid safety practices, and they're in complete adherence to all state & federal guidelines. Masks are required (regardless of fax status), they're very good about monitoring the number of customers in store at any given time, and there's marked spaces in the lines - which they actively, yet politely enforce if a customer forgets or neglects to notice. I've always felt very safe there!

Readers Club is like a coffee punch card, you buy 20 items and you get a store credit for the average price spent on the items. If you buy 20 $20 books you would get a $20 store credit.

I have written a literary novel, published by a small publisher, which I would like Bookshop Santa Cruz to carry. It is set in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Is there a particular person I should see? Should I make an appointment? Esther Escott

I don't work there. But suggest sending them a sample copy with a one page letter. I have managed bookstores for over twenty five years. There are many people in your situation that approach bookstores. A sample copy will help you get some attention

Do they buy and sell old or vinatge books? Any specific days and times?

Brenda Pappas | Aug 27, 2018

They do buy books, but are not appraisers. If you're looking for more money for your books because they are "vintage", this is probably not the place to go.

As in buy used books from customers? Yes. It's first come first serve at 9am every day. Its recommended to show up a little before opening to ensure a spot or give a call right at 9 and they can fit you in if they have room after the people waiting outside the Front St. doors.
