“Love the feeling of a little family here. The staff is very friendly and helpful and they have all the stationery one needs for college. This cute bookstore is located at the end of the main parking lot at College of Marin Kentfield. I found my books and these amazing erasable pens and erasable highlighter here. How cool is that? ??”
“A wonderful selection of books used and new including a section of books not found online! Paintings, postcards, gift cards, stuffed animals and so many more things! The staff are super friendly”
“Magical place with a fireplace and lovely seats to just skim thru a potential book you'd like to buy. We came in looking for a book but ended up just getting some of their unique candles - great curated stuff.”
“I love supporting our San Anselmo library! I was able to buy books for everyone in my family for a very affordable price. It is fun to search the shelves looking for unique finds. The volunteers are very kind.”
“A great bookstore full of gently (if used at all) books at amazingly low prices. Great for bestsellers, cookbooks, kids' books and CDs and DVDs, too. Tucked inside the Belvedere Tiburon Library. A hidden gem!”

“Whoah, I was shocked by the collection at this little tiny bookstore. They sell used/donated books and the proceeds go to the local library. I've been to other bookstores that benefit local libraries, and normally the collection is so sad. I'm an avid fiction reader, and pretty picky, and in their fiction section they had tons of great books published in the last couple years that I have loved (for around $5 for most books) In the travel section I found a fairly recent guidebook for Montreal which will be awesome for our upcoming trip. My husband couldn't stop raving about the 4D? John Wick DVDs he found for cheap that he said would easily go for 10x the price on Amazon. We also found lots of cute books for our toddlers that were 2-3 dollars each. Overall, very small shop but some great finds!!”
“Wonderful little shop selling authentically local gifts. This is not a place you’ll find cheap Chinese trinkets. Everything felt thoughtful and held some type of relation to the area. I thoroughly enjoyed spending a little time here and found some unique gifts for family that wouldn’t be found elsewhere. Regretfully I only took one photo inside, but it’s charming and the staff are exceptionally friendly.”
“Was visiting Mill Valley with friends and on a whim we decided to get our ears pierced. Walked in and was helped right away! Nicole was very helpful with all the jewelry and advice on placement. Eddy was so kind while performing the piercings. He went out of his way to bring mindfulness and incorporated deep breathing to make the experience positive. Both Nicole and Eddy made it a fun, smooth memorable experience. Would highly recommend!”
“Such a cute spot! The tea is delicious, and the book selection is amazing — so many great titles to browse. I picked up Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt and My Friends by Fredrik Backman. Cozy, friendly, and perfect for book lovers!”
“Always great service, very knowledgeable staff, will order any book they don't have in stock AND they carry some used books as well. Very good children's book section as well. Support this little treasure!”
“A lovely little bookstore with a great selection on nature! The staff/owner are very friendly. There’s nothing quite like a bookstore in a small coastal town that really brings it all together”
“Copperfield's Books is an awesome store/chain. In these Amazon, instant-gratification-centric times, I love taking a slowed-down and more conscientious approach to buying books whenever possible. Yes, the prices will be higher than Amazon and other online retailers. If something is not in stock, you may have to wait for them to order it, but waiting and supporting a small local business feels worth it to me. Their employees have always been kind and helpful to me over the phone and in person. They have an excellent selection of books packed into their brick-and-mortar storefront, and on the rare occasion they don't have what I'm looking for, they're willing to order it. I've been particularly impressed with their graphic novel selection. I've had consistently good experiences here, at their Napa and Petaluma locations, too, so I've got to give them five out of five stars across the board.”
“My friends and I purchased several items from the souvenir shop. Few nice employees approached us and help us, which I appreciated. Cashier Gordon helped us with a big smile and positive attitude, he stamped out posts cards and showed us more around the store. Thank you 😊”
“Went during weekday, was only custie there. Strange layout, found what I was looking for in back against wall. Seems geared toward hoodies, not enough sweats and other logo gear. Class rings were displayed, grateful for sizing card. Bookstore staff person VERY nice and went above and beyond.”
“We went for the band and enjoyed some very good food and desserts while we were there. Service was quick given the crowds and our tasty satisfying food arrived at our table in short order. Fun summer vibe!”
“Susan has the best collection of heirloom toys and a myriad of treasures that are unforgettable, unbelievable and magical, just like she is! The best store I have visited in my life, must see to believe.....”
“They’re still here and they’re finally OPEN!!! It’s much smaller than the original store, with no seating or coffee options, but it still has a large selection of books and accessories. They are located in the Corte Madera shopping center behind Safeway, next to Paper Source and Crate & Barrel.”
“Perfect little toy store in the mall that has something for kids most ages. They have a decent selection of board games as well if you're looking for something for an older kid (or kid at heart). If they don't have something in stock just ask and usually they are either able to put you on a list to be notified when it arrives. Staff is very helpful every time we have gone in there looking for something specific.”
“Best book store around!
No more Amazon for me. I’m shopping local and supporting this store from now on.
Great selection amazing owners great people”
