    It's a nice place, and has tons of variety. However there have been multiple times where I found books for more than their retail price, which is a little weird since it's a mostly "used" bookstore. They do have some cool older books and versions however you'd probably find cheaper at a real thrift store or Amazon.
    Also a couple of the employees were so rude and stared at me the whole time like I was going to steal something. Not super welcoming...

    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 ! Appreciate the masked staff and signs for all patrons to wear them too. We were greeted as we walked in. Very welcoming and chill atmosphere.
