I really enjoy this book store. Great selection of books that are in great condition. There always feels like there are hidden secrets around in boxes scattered about! The books are a little more expensive here though, so it doesn't feel like I'm getting a great deal for a second hand book.

Best bookstore in the East Bay; be prepared to spend an hour or so delving through the vast selection.
