Presumably, since you’ve clicked your way over here to LoCO, you have a voracious appetite for the written word. But what if you find yourself in the mood to read something longer than your standard Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office press release? Where would you go to scratch such a retro itch? A bookstore, you silly goose! 

But which of Humboldt’s book sellers best feeds your reader soul? There aren’t too many to choose from, so this should be one of our easier Friday Humboldt’s best polls. Get to it. 

If we’ve somehow forgotten someone, just let us know. You have until Monday quittin’ time to make your choice.
