Our friendly staff is known for being attentive and helpful, enhancing the overall experience. We encourage you to share your experiences and help others discover our unique bookstore.
My friends and I were pleasantly strolling through the charming town of Auburn when we noticed a bookstore that caught our attention due to its inviting appearance. We decided to step inside and were delighted to find a cozy and well-organized establishment. The bookstore offered an impressive selection of books, including one that I had been considering purchasing (Haunted Lake Tahoe). While we were browsing the horror section, the individual managing the store approached us and kindly inquired if there was anything specific we were searching for. We politely declined his assistance as we were still exploring the available options. However, his subsequent question, "So there's no chance of you guys buying anything?" struck us as rather impolite and made us feel somewhat unwelcome. It was our first visit to the bookstore, and unfortunately, it will likely be our last due to this unpleasant experience.
Very unkind. We were welcomed at first but almost blatantly disrespected after wandering for a bit. Asking *do you plan on buying anything?" I don't belive that's a good way to try and attract new customers especially when nobody else was asked the same thing... we had a nice day wandering and shopping other shops nearby it was just this location put a damper on things.
There is nothing better than a good book. Winston Smith books has an endless supply of great books to satisfy everyone's preference. I could have spent hours perusing the shelves. The only element that could make this experience better, a coffee shop in the upstairs portion. Customers would feel more inclined to stay longer, if there was a sitting area to enjoy a tasty beverage. This is a great budget date destination. It would be fun to discover each other's book interests. Or pick a random book and discuss the book's topic. Then go to one of the local businesses for an adult beverage or coffee.

I've been going to this bookstore since I was in high school and it is always a welcome sanctuary! Tons of books in both used and like new conditions, creaky floors, fun nooks and crannies to explore and knowledgeable staff all make this a fabulous Used Bookstore experience!
