The Bookery — Local services in Placerville

Used bookstore with a massive collection of books for affordable prices. You can get lost in here for hours, and you’ll certainly be able to find something that you’d enjoy. The front of the store is generally fiction, while the back/side is generally nonfiction/reference but there are exceptions to that. They also have first-edition books, books in other languages, and a few new books at the front of the store. There were a couple of cute and friendly cats in the store, as well as an adorable dog at the front (on a leash) so you can get some pets in while you’re there too. There are a few relatively comfortable places to read as well, so you can check to see how much you like a book...

I’ve never been inside of a more packed bookstore than the Bookery. I don’t know how the staff do it - but this used bookstore is one of the most beautifully jam packed bookstores I’ve seen in a long time. Everything is labeled with the genre and organized beautifully.

Most books are 50% off the original price unless noted otherwise. There is a huge variety of collectible books too.

Im sure if you are looking for it - it’s here. Make sure to ask. The staff is friendly and very helpful.

When looking for a book - start here. Support a small local business first before...

Great little mom and popish store on main street. Have been there a couple times and each time the staff has been so friendly and helpful. Has new and used books. I went in for one book and ended up looking for a book I read in the 80's. They located it,ordered it,and I had it within a couple days. I was going to go to barnes and noble but so much happier I came here. Only drawback is I wish they stayed open later. Help support local shops over big corporations. If you love books...
