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!

An American Possiblity: Mike, Tell Us the Story About...

An American Possiblity: Mike, Tell Us the Story About...

Sale Price:$12.95 Original Price:$13.56

By Mike Maschmeier. Eurekan Maschmeier weaves a contemplative but very enjoyable tale from a Midwest then Californian childhood to a life of travel and working many trades around the country. These included carnie, truck driver, movie projectionist, vacuum cleaner salesman, pizza seller, getting a fisheries degree at HSU, becoming a game warden, coping with earthquakes and floods, being a Hospice volunteer, a dedicated fisherman and even helping with Spielberg's Jurassic Park.

       Filled with humor, lively anecdotes and philosophical perception, this recounting of a life well led is definitely something to share.
