This was the first time I came to this book store.I loved it, they have a big variety of books.The place is nice and quiet, you could buy some books and then go to the Peets coffee nextdoor to start reading your new acquisition.I came looking to buy only one book and ended up finding some interesting ones in their sale section.

An excellent store with superb titles to suit all readers of all age groups. The staff is very helpful and extremely well read. Cafe next door might offer a discount too if you picked a book or two and sipped coffee. The cafe has wifi. You could do some online searches.

Large selection of books in a spacious interior. Has that national, corporate book chain feel, but I know it is a Bay Area company. I used to frequent the Books Inc. in the Castro before it shuttered its doors. I was brought to this location because of a certain book. Admittedly, I searched at another popular SF bookstore beforehand, but they did not have the title I wanted. After a quick search on the Books Inc. website, I found that they had a copy at this location! I got on the bus and was soon met with friendly, attentive service upon my arrival. I will definitely return.

Nice and pretty standard for a bookstore. The on-sale selection of books is surprisingly good here! I found quite a few good options there, unlike the skip-worthy discounted racks you usually see.

This bookstore has a really good selection of poetry - I mean, if youre into poetry. Beyond poetry, the selection of fiction books here is pretty wide (along with its science fiction section). The people managing the store? Very warm and welcoming.

Nice size independant bookstore in an office building. You wont find every book ever printed in stock but you will find a hsppy, smiling, knowledgeable staff that will do everything they can to help you find what your looking for. Truly this is what a bookstore should be.Tip: Dont be afraid to ask about special ordering the book you are searching for, chances are that they will be able to have it in your hands in about yhe same time Amazon would. Plus you get the pleasure of knowing that your keeping some of your hard earned cash in the local community.
