Copperfield's Books — Local services in Petaluma

Copperfield’s Books is a local independent bookstore that started out in Sebastopol in the early 80s and has now expanded in the surrounding areas of Northern California. They have stores all over Sonoma County, Napa County, and Marin County.

This specific one was located in the beautiful city of Petaluma. It is right in the middle of downtown so you would have to walk from a parking lot a couple blocks away.

This store has a nice selection of all types of books, magazines, planners and journals, and gifts. I loved the setup of this specific store. It was like a fun maze with a lot of things to look at. Something I’ve always loved about Copperfields is the insect displays hanging all over the ceiling of the store. I remember seeing that growing up as a kid and I’m glad this bookstore can have a personal signature. What I also fancied about this store was the basement downstairs that’s filled with used books and you can even drop off used books yourself. They also have antique and out of print books. I loved the brick walls in the children’s area. Overall they had great decor.

To the beautiful people of Sonoma County and visitors abroad, I would recommend coming to this bookstore. Whether you’re a book lover or not there’s something in here for everyone. It’s also a good feeling to be out and about with the rest of...

Great bookstore, they’ve a huge collection of books, which is a treat for book lovers like me. There are two levels—the one where one walks in the store, and the other below it. The level below has used and rare books—One can literally spend hours here trying to find a great used book(for lower prices), or if one is willing to shell out some more money, score a great rare book. They had quite a few cheap books of pulp fiction genre here too, in case anyone is interested. The books are segregated into different sections—religion, health, sports, fiction, you name it.

The level above it has recent arrivals, classics, a magazine section, and a huge children’s books section as well. They’ve other literary items for sale too, such as cups etc.

I spent hours here looking at the books, being in their company. I’ve been to many bookstores, and this is easily one of the best among them. The staff here were very helpful, I asked them for a mask and they supplied one promptly.

I’ll be back here again whenever I’m in Petaluma. If you’re contemplating going here, go for it, you won’t be...

This was a fantastic HUGE book store- it's so nice to find independent stores with this kind of variety, although they usually come with friendlier staff. This one did not have that personal touch of passionate or friendly staff. Maybe it was a bad day, maybe there is something else to it, idk. That said, my visit was dampened by an older woman who scolded me at the register for my book purchase. She wasn't even the employee ringing me up- just overheard what I sent and wanted to pass judgement from behind the register lol. I hesitated to post this review because I wasn't sure if I imagined her hostility until the person I was with confirmed it by saying that I was chided like a schoolkid. But the book store is clean and lovely and well-organized. They have a great selection of new and used books, including many marked as signed...
