Humboldt County Historical Society

Bookstore

All profits from bookstore sales support our non-profit organization. Purchasing a book about Humboldt County History, gifts, or ephemeral items from our bookstore is a great way to support the work we do!

Back issues of the Humboldt Historian are available in the bookstore or by phone order. Due to the wide variation in shipping and handling costs, issues cannot be purchased online. Please call (707) 445-4342 during open hours to place your order. Bulk discounts are available!

New! Instead of the former short descriptions, we now have book reviews by archivist and local author, Pam Service. Check them out for information about our books.

We have a selection of used books which are not included on the website. If you’re looking for a particular book, please give us a call. We’ll be happy to check the shelves for you!

We generally mail books on the Friday following receipt of your order. If you choose to pick up your book(s), you will receive an emailed notification when it is ready.

Members receive a 10% discount on all regularly priced books.

The Once and Future Forest: California's Iconic Redwoods

from $23.40

Essays by various authors. “Coast redwood and giant sequoia forests are true wonders of the world. These trees support rare layers of life found nowhere else on Earth, some in the highest reaches of their canopies. Redwoods can even play a significant role in slowing climate change, as they store substantially more carbon from the atmosphere per acre than any other forest the world over. They are ancient marvels to behold, and they have withstood eons of change.” - Sam Hodder, President and CEO of Save the Redwoods League
