Absolutely loved this store, they have such an eclectic selection at AMAZING prices. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable, and seemed to read my mind when recommending books. Great selection of esoteric publications, they have everything from metaphysics, satanism, tarot decks, to the highest and most holy Jesus Christ, so they certainly dont discriminate nor judge based on your preferred reading material. This stack of 15 books only cost $122 - average $8/book!!

Decent enough but its very bright & the shelves are very high. I did see a pickup option, so thats nice. Otherwise, got a LOT of genres (including erotic) & for a decent price as well.

This might be the best bookstore I have ever been too! Unfortunately I don’t live in the are and wanted every chance to go here. I think I went inside at least a dozen times in the month and a half I was in the area, and loved it. An incredibly extensive collection and great vibes among the staff, I just wish I could go back. If you like reading and books even just a little bit: Go to Beers!

Disneyland for readers. I so wish I lived closer to them. I took advantage of being in Sac, and visited them. I bought a ton of books, including a couple of collectors items in Spanish and a vintage edition of Of Mice and Men.

I am new to Sacramento and as I was passing by I said to myself, beer & books?! Some of my favorite things! although there was no beer, Beers Books did not disappoint and I only got through the US history section so I still have a lot more exploring to do. This is my new go to bookstore. As I very much dislike shopping at big box and chain stores for the reason that they pushed out local owners who knew and were friends with the people in their communities and its difficult now for small businesses to compete, I love supporting small businesses and I suggest others consider it too and shop here. The staff is very friendly and there is so much to select from!

Not been there for years..think they moved....been in Sac since 1936Great selection...not sure if its used or mix of new and used.Most used book stores are cramped and limited so I was happy they were not this at all!!!!They survived many cycles since 1936!!

Great used book store with every type of genre from which to choose. Plus, all copies are of high quality. The staff is helpful. The only thing that dings the five star review is their odd prohibition of using cell phones.

We stopped by Beers Books for the first time after someone recommended it to me a week or so ago. We were greeted right upon entering with a smile. We were asked if we needed help with anything. Loved the feel of the store and enjoyed browsing books. I ended up getting a book. We came close to closing time so did not have that much time but will definitely go back. Thank you for the pleasant experience!

Review №24

You should come to this amazing place. Theres parking all up and down the street. Walk inside, it smells exactly how you want it to smell. Remember the book store smell? Do you get that when you order a book online? No, no you do not. Go make friends with the person at the counter, go have a conversation about literature. Go find the book you need and the book you didnt even know you wanted. If they dont have it, ask them to order it! Thats how you keep book stores open and alive. Thats how you support small business in the community. Stop ordering books online, and seriously, just go smell this amazing place. 5...NEIGH... 6 stars!

I only recently found this bookstore, sometime before the Covid pandemic struck, I wish I could stop there more often but time and work are no friend of mine. HOWEVER when I do go I am always leaving with a decent pile of books, replenishing my bookshelf at home with lovely finds. They have such a variety, so organized and well maintained. For future buyers I highly recommend picking up a book from Beer’s Books and heading to temple coffee for a drink to read with it.

I love this place. Great used book store with fair prices, and if you like to browse, you cant ask for a better place to do it. This is a Sacramento institution that survived Amazon Books, so that says a great deal. Ive found very obscure books here. Good for collectors.

Review №53

Great prices. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. They even shelved my self-published novel on display near the front. I sold a few copies through them, and they only took a small cut. They keep an excellent mixture of stock of whats popular and whats interesting/obscure. I hope these guys stay here a looong time

Great selection of books, and the prices are amazing! I walked out with more books than I should have, and the pocketbook thinks I only bought one. That’s a win in my book. Plus, the staff here are super nice and quickly helped me find what I was looking for. Highly recommend you visit if you’re a book lover.

Review №58

It is almost like the experience of a library...Not so much a public library.. More like an invitation to browse in the personal library of a new and gracious welcoming friend. I went inside to take a little peek... I left with almost too many books to carry... I will return! Thanks, Beers 😍

The guy there said hes are real sticklers with the rules although it looks run down and have mostly books no one wants. It was my first time there and was looking for old bibles. I wanted to return one of the books I purchased for $6 a few days before and the guy wouldnt give me a refund. He said hes a real stickler with the rules so I wont be returning and I will have a $6 credit FOREVER!!

This store has a good variety of books to choose from. Old and new, paperback and hardback. Cant find what you want? No problem. They can order that book for you. They will also buy your books for credit or cash. The staff are professional and nice. And the store looks like its kept clean. This store is good sized and you dont feel cramped walking around through the isles. I recommend this place.

Beers Books is a used book store thats been around for a long time. They have lots of books (and I do mean lots). They have everything from westerns to philosophy to horror and many more. Staff is always friendly and professional. This bookstore is a pretty good size place and the isles dont make you feel crowded. I really do like this place.

Review №74

Theres no doubt in my mind that Beers is the best used bookstore in Sacramento, especially for literature buffs. They have an easy tobrowse shelving system and theres lots of natural light. A decentselection of Sci-Fi classics and CA history too. The sale racks arereplete with nuggets and the staff is low-key and helpful. This isa place that takes books and reading seriously. And its a seriouslygood stop for any book-lover visiting Sacramento.

My go-to local bookstore. Super knowledgeable staff and such a huge selection. Its a welcoming atmosphere to just kick back and read a few pages. I find myself sitting in the aisle and just getting lost amongst the pages. I have sold some books to them which was a super easy experience. Of course I chose store credit! This is your place- cornerstone!

Its a nice shop and well organized. They know the value of the books they sell. So youre not gonna find an absurd deal on a rare first edition, but youll pay a fair price for it. Its quiet and they have a silent cell phone policy which is refreshing. I like stopping here when I pass by for work.

Review №96

Seems very much like a used bookstore - with DVDs even. Prices were low. They buy used books or give you in-store credit. Amazingly, they have titles that I like, and they restock fairly constantly. Employees appeared to know where everything was - I did not ask about beer. Ive been back many times, plan to visit regularly.

I like the book selection. The store is located downtown where I work and I can easily walk to it. Parking is difficult. The used books are good quality and well maintained, no missing pages or strange substances. I was looking for a particular type of murder mystery. The clerk knew where the books are shelved and walked over to the shelf with me to show me the location. They accept cash and credit cards. There are chairs for sitting and reading before buying.
