Beers Book Center is the place to find obscure books. New and used books are offered in a wide variety of sections, such as film, history, diets, cooking, vegetables, gardening, natural history, psychology and sexuality. The National Geographic magazine collection is huge and includes issues almost a century old. The fiction section is strong in content and numbers and features non-mainstream titles. In addition, the store houses an extensive choice of sports, metaphysics, drama, childbirth and music titles. The decor is “lived in,” but the couches in the reading area are comfortable.
Many treasures are waiting to be found among the stacks of rare and out-of-print books. First editions and rare volumes from as early as 1871 in genres ranging from first-hand accounts of American history to detective novels and books on chess are available. You will not find today's best sellers here, but your favorites and classics of bygone days are at this shop. The owners are professional book collectors and will gladly help customers locate rare books. Also stocked are music titles produced by Sacramento's own S-S Records. Furthermore, readings are staged here from time to time, sometimes featuring authors as legendary as Dishwasher Pete.
We sell comic books, trade paperbacks, board/tabletop games, and Magic: The Gathering singles and sets. We also buy trade paper backs and Magic: The Gathering cards!
