“I had a very positive online shopping experience -- found an out-of-print exhibition catalogue in great used condition for a reasonable price. The book shipped quickly, with care and with a lovely note. A tip/note for international buyers: this bookstore doesn't ship outside the US, so I used a third party rerouting service, which drove up the cost significantly.”
“A group of friends came in right after me and immediately sat on the couch, talking about how much they love this place and how often they come here- it's clear to see the impact this place has on the community. Extremely sweet and kind staff, gorgeous book shelves/displays, cozy reading environment and a gift shop section (features handmade goods)! I'm a Sacramento native but I can't believe this was my first time coming here. This is without a doubt where I want to put all of my book money from now on :)”
“Very cute store and organized wonderfully. The owner was so nice in helping me find all the titles in a series of books I was looking for. I will be back when I'm done reading my great find!”
“Just sharing my thoughts, I have lived in the Sacramento area for my whole life, and I have known Sabrina and her family for quite some time, I was their neighbor for many years, when I found out that she was opening up a bookstore at the corner of our street I was just so excited, although I don’t go as much as I used to, I still love the place, I stop by whenever I get the chance, it’s a nice and cozy little spot, I go whenever I feel weird and just want to relax, it’s a great place with such an amazing owner.
Sincerely,
your friend, Jaxon”
“I love this shop so much! I had my wedding in Sacramento and had an interesting request for Wild Sisters - could they do a pop-up bookshop at my wedding? Luckily, they were willing and able to and working with Claire and Noelle was a breeze. I made suggestions for the types of books I wanted to giveaway to guests and they sourced them, delivered them and staff were onsite at my wedding to setup a pop-up bookshop. They even created custom bookmarks for our wedding to giveaway! I was floored at how organized, knowledgeable and organized they were and their shop has the same feel. If you're looking for a unique, pop-up element for your event or even if you just want to browse their store, I highly recommend Wild Sisters!”

“Such a cute local bookstore! The store is so cozy, packed to the brim with diverse books without it feeling cluttered. The staff are all so kind and helpful as well! I'm so, so happy I found this bookstore!”
“Found a copy of Orion Magazine here, which I've been seeking for months! I was sure I was going to need to buy a subscription. I'm grateful that these kinds of shops are still around”
“This bookstore is a favorite in Sacramento, and personally, a second home for me. Staff are really knowledgeable, their passion is books. Each staff member, and of course Peter Keat the owner, has worked at this neighborhood bookstore for at least ten years, and up to twenty. If you have a title and an author they will find it! New and used, books of many genres, come take a look at midtown's wonderful independent bookstore.”
“The staff are so kind and patient. The store is organized really well. I love the board games as well as the selection near the cashiers with lots of great gift items. I also liked seeing an author there selling kids' books and offering to sign!”
“the shop is small enough that you could pass by without a second glance but stepping inside you find narrow aisles lined with cases and boxes stacked high so that every turn feels like a discovery and though the space is tight it carries a warmth that makes you want to linger much like in the lord of the rings when bilbo discovered the quiet comforts of the shire before gandalf arrived with fireworks to celebrate his birthday and the fields filled with lanterns and laughter and food and drink while the hobbits gathered to share in the joy of the night until the moment when bilbo made his choice to slip away from it all leaving behind the songs and the bright lights and setting in motion a story that would carry far beyond the borders of his home.”

“This is a great community resource, and the inventory of books is huge! Volunteer staff is helpful. Hours are a little limited, but it's well worth a visit, both to donate books and magazines and to purchase.”
“Mother Goose is currently closed due to a fire in their building (smoke damage) with no estimate on when they will reopen. This is such a bummer as this is our favorite spot for unique children's toys. The owner is so sweet and friendly. I hope the entire complex is up on their feet soon”

“Stopped by the new place, it's beautiful. I was happy to see the same level of services in a new, easy to access location. The teas and books were both abundant. I was able to get everything I needed!”
“Needed some gifts for Easter. Found them here. They have an extensive array of any items needed for the practicing Catholic. Staff is extremely helpful in finding the items you are looking for. The also have a good reading section on various encyclicals, church history, missals and Catholic Bibles. All are reasonably priced.”

“Small gift shop but has some very nice items with Sacramento and California on them. Bring your shiny penny and two quarters if you like to have a penny souvenir. They range from shot glasses, mugs, cups, coasters, kitchen towels, stickers, jig saw puzzles, tree ornaments, playing cards, post cards, magnets etc. I recommend book marks! I surely would have purchased that in addition to the other souvenirs I bought. Pam was very nice in helping me on the phone to locate them.”
“This is the place to be every 1st and 3rd Saturday of the month. There are tons of vendors selling their goods for fair prices. Food, jewelry, clothing, art, literature and seminars. There also a lot of permanent black owned businesses open 7 days a week at the market place. Anything from legal services, church, clothing stores, counseling, self help work shops, music production and much more.”
“(Translated by Google) It was a blessing to go to Adonai Christian book store. It is a small store but it has a great selection and is ope. Monday to Saturday until 7 or 7:30 PM. I loved the store and wjll be back soon.”
“It has everything you need and then some. This place can get pricey so be prepared to pay $35 for a t-shirt. You'll find good deals like the .50 cent coffee. The staff is always nice so that's a plus.”
“I'm surprised about the rating. I have been going here for on and off 6 years. The campus has grown immensely and a lot of work has gone into building it better. Front office is all remodeled and the resources are all located together. The new parking structure has helped a lot for parking. And now they are building another science center. The campus adapted with the change of Covid. And online classes have changed for the better. The professors had to learn change their way of teaching. I enjoy all my on-line classes. It's more work but definitely more manageable.”
“I personally enjoyed buying stuff from here. I highly highly recommend that if you are going to buy books from here that you sign up for the school’s program EOPS to help you throughout the school year with a bunch of things like classes, book assistance, supplies, and more. Other than that picking up the books were easy and confirmation of pick up only took less than a day to a day through email.”

“Ordered for curbside and it was fast and easy! I just parked and they came out to me and got my order info! Shortly after I was delivered my items. It wasn't contactless because the guy scrolled my phone to get the order number. Overall, it was a good experience but I can see some issues with having separate workers walking back and forth from the bookstore to each car in the parking lot. It's efficient and convenient for me but not the employees. I'm grateful for the service though!”
“I always find what I am searching for and discover other interesting finds. This visit I found sheet music! I was pleasantly surprised. So besides Camus, I went home with books of Chopin, Mozart and Bach.”
