Pretty neat store! Lots of books to choose from, more so classics and history. Had some other neat costume type items and my personal favorites were the calligraphy quills, leather bound journals, and wax seal kits!

It’s a great store with a good variety of gold rush items. They even have pocket watches.

love this little gen in Columbia Historic Park. The shop keeper is a sweet and friendly lady who wear a pretty dress of gold rush era costume. Lovely little shop like a museum with many interesting 1800s stuffs (toys, books, costumes, souvenirs). A must go to place when you visit Columbia historic park.
Located in the historic gold mining town of Columbia, California, the Columbia Booksellers & Variety Store offers a unique shopping experience for merchandise that one might find available during the peak of the gold rush period between 1850-1870.
