Also. How did I forget to mention Santa Cruz Books. Probably don't have to mention it to Santa Cruz residents. I think they were the first place I saw where A LOT of the books on the shelf had review cards and staff recommendations. It's clear it is... say it with me... staffed and stocked by people who like good books.
Book Shop Santa Cruz is one of my favorite book stores. It has such a fun layout and feel for browsing, is usually buzzing with people, and in the rainy-months is a great place to sit and read for a few. The staff are always really kind as well!
