Book Stores near Occidental, CA

“As a recent transplant in Sonoma County, my journey here unfolded through a series of whimsical signs guided by fate and trust. My first month here entailed exploring neighboring cities and small towns with my dog Luci. One small town I stumbled upon was Duncans Mills. Initially drawn in for a coffee and pastry at Gold Coast Coffee and Bakery, my attention shifted to a quaint village of shops across the road, including a tiny shack-sized bookstore.Stepping into this magical bookshop felt like crossing a threshold akin to the 9 3/4 platform in the Harry Potter series. Despite its small size, the store boasted a curated collection of excellent books. My favorite section, featuring spiritual and mental health books, became a personal haven. Meeting the warm and welcoming owner, Stephanie, during my first visit, further enhanced the enchantment.I’ve revisited this bookstore thrice, making it a ritual whenever I’m in Duncans Mills. For me, books are a source of joy, and Stephanie has skillfully chosen volumes that can delight any reader. Light and love reside in this little bookstore, offering happiness to all, especially those who still appreciate the tangible charm of printed books. I wholeheartedly encourage anyone in the area to step inside and experience the magic of this unique shop.”

“Storia Home is the best place in the North Bay to shop around and find the most stylish pieces for your home. I couldn’t be more happy with this art piece in my living room! Besides the unique decor pieces, Gina and Dan are the absolute best and amazing human beings so stopping by every time I am in the area is a no-brainer. Love Storia Home ❤️”

“Super knowledgeable easy to speak with shop owner, lovely teas I can’t get anywhere else. Fantastic curated books on the shelves the owner actually knows of and can speak on. Lovely atmosphere and lovely calm and welcoming customer service”

“Cute book store on main street in downtown Sebastopol. If they offer you a bag say no. They charge $.10 for a bag. Locals may be used to this but this Midwestern girl is not! I just hate paying for something when I have no clue I'm being charged for it.”
