Wonderful bookstore in Truckee! Great selection of local books, curated fiction, gifts, a fun kids section, and a record shop in the basement. They will gladly order a book for you if they don’t have it in stock. A treasure!

This bookstore is FANTASTIC. We look for reasons to make stops in Truckee so that we can visit. The stores selection and service is always fantastic but this recent visit knocked it out of the park. I stopped in with bookclub friends over the weekend. It was a busy day in the store but we were all helped by booksellers. We all walked away with books that we were excited about and had a great time chatting. Taylor and Charlotte were extremely helpful and made excellent recommendations.

From across the ocean, we make and ship the Wooden Sound System to this magical independent bookstore. Although we've never met, we love them so much! The whimsical words they use in their writing, the balance between professionalism and warmth, and how they make so many people happy - we truly are so grateful to be one of their vendors!

A wonderful selection of books, games, journals, and stickers as well as helpful staff! I will be coming back here more often even though we live hours away just to support this amazing independent bookstore!

This bookstore has beautiful decor and quality notebooks, however the store wasn't for me because an estimated 70% of the authors were female authors of non-fiction or drama books. While I've read some excellent female authors, I prefer espionage and war thrillers; there were none of these in the shop. There were a few detective type thrillers or mystery thrillers and some science fiction that may have had action but zero espionage and zero war fiction. If you've got a modicum of testosterone, this isn't the shop for you. I really tried to to find a book because I wanted to support the local bookstore but after 45 minutes, was unable to find something; the closest I got was The Ranger by Peter Heller but in the end I decided not to purchase it. I will be back on the 26th to purchase one of their cool wooden covered notebooks and a T-shirt to help get the word out.

I’d honestly forgotten how good an experience you can have at an independent bookstore like this. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and quickly gave me some perfect recommendations. The store is beautifully laid out and has a modern feel, with lots of displays from detective novels to books featured on TikTok/BookTok. Truly A+ experience

A highlight of downtown Truckee! After you browse through the hand picked selections that are thoughtfully categorized, be sure to head downstairs for some vinyl and quirky gift options. Great place to get inspiration if you're shopping for others and you'll surely find a few gems for yourself too.

I will never not support an independent bookseller... this is a great little shop. They have a great inventory, and a cute separate room for the children's area. I didn't make it downstairs to the Rock Cellar. I will have to visit next time. The employees were a mixed bag. One person greeted me, they were very friendly and offered great suggestions to help me select my purchase (such as reading the first page of each to see what grabs me). Guy behind the counter was, hmmm somewhat lackluster and not engaging; mildly condescending even... but the woman (assuming gender here) who was working the floor made up for him. I will absolutely go back again.

An independent bookstore that's obviously run or owned by book lovers. It's got the major trending titles but also carefully curated collections of books in other categories. The staff is knowledgeable. This bookstore is an unexpected treasure for a relatively small town like Truckee.

Fantastic spot! Very spacious but full of great books--they've got a nice diversity to the selection. I love the handwritten genre signs, made for easy browsing. The sliding ladder is a magical touch. I bought two books plus a travel game (cute selection of games/puzzles/cards/etc in addition to books). They also have a separate children's room which was awesome, and downstairs are more books plus vinyl. I just love the overall layout and design, including personalized touches such as staff recs and spotlight tables. One of the books I bought was a staff pick and their blurb really sold me. Plus, the location is super cute and there's lots of other fun shops/food/sightseeing to do.

I couldn't love this place more. For such a small town, it has an expensive selection of books. They go the extra mile by including titles from women and people of color. They have all the Forrest/explorer/Truckee/Tahoe/local interest too. There's a huge kid and young adult section. And downstairs is a vinyl shop. They have new and used stuff. This place is everything. Everything everything.
