“I wish I could buy this entire store ; its design and display achieves a sublime balance between high art and warmth ; your eye flits amongst books and posters and makes unexpected connections ; this does result in nice impulsive buying; I will visit more often as I am registered to take a modern architecture class at Stanford. Vernon and staff are well informed, dispatching their knowledge with ease and warmth.”
“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.”
“We are very fortunate to have Corner Books inside the Tiburon library. There’s no other place like it—they have a fantastic selection of books at the lowest prices possible and a friendly smart team that can help people find exactly the right books to read or give as gifts.”
“Amazing customer service and care. I don’t remember his name but he was wonderful gentleman who helped my friend pick a book and was just so knowledgeable and friendly.”
“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.”
“I really like this Books Inc. Staff are very knowledgeable and helpful. I also appreciate that they are open somewhat early. I can buy a magazine or a book before my work day starts and still have time to grab coffee. Thank you Books Inc, glad you're still around!”
“The Cartoon Art Museum was a lovely addition to our touring schedule for our family, including our 16 year old, a self-proclaimed Comic Con geek. The museum fueled her curious nature. A quaint little off the beaten path respite from all energy of the Wharf, we loved the reading room, and the memorabilia was well displayed. Also, the local artists featured in several areas around the museum were extremely impressive. We felt very welcomed and enjoyed seeing the mentoring going on between curator and what appeared to be a new museum employee. Overall, it was a 5 star experience. Excellent quality.”
“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!”
“If you're not exiting through the gift shop and buying a bunch of cheap junk along the way, are you really a tourist? Get your little metal cup and clank it, baby!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.....”
“I love this place if I have extra time before a movie or between dinner and a movie to come and check out their expensive book collection new and used for sale. They have books on every type of religion known to man As well as carry things like smudge sticks incense, music just an all-around wonderful beautiful vibe in this place.”
“Hands down the shop I’ve been to… ever! Found them a year ago and finally made it in. Between the awesome people you’ll find highly curated small craft local brands - from accessories to full fits and shoes. Stores like these are extremely hard to find so make sure to make the trip. My wife loved Fez’s sister store Eli too. ?”
“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? ??”
“I am often there. If you stop by to have a coffee or tea and look at the books, you will enjoy yourself. This is a peaceful place in a very good and safe location. Total wine is close, and I like to check their wine selection. As a wine enthusiast, this place is ideal. New books, used books, kids books and coffee break, nothing better.A latte is healthy for you from what I learned. It has antioxidants, protein and calcium and it tastes delicious.”
“This place is completely on-top of their game for drinks, food, service, and atmosphere. I love coming here for the vibe, the excellent coffee, and sometimes, a really delicious lunch. Prices are good, and the people watching is excellent. There's always a seat to be found, and everyone working there is friendly. It's been like this for decades and decades and decades, and I love that.”
“A great place to support local authors and local bookstores. A great selection of books and I love the handwritten notes from staff recommending different books — Robert is particularly vocal!!Such a lovely friendly store and you can’t beat the view of the bay bridge and Alcatraz from the windows!A great place to indulge in reading and nice you have your next book chosen you have a million places to get coffee and a delicious local pastry to enjoy your first read. Read with a view if the bay and make your day so much better!”
“What a wonderful little book shop, perfect to get a couple of puzzles while trapped indoors in the rain. Very nice shop keeper, helped with information on the best routes out of town once the storm lifts. Thank you!”
“Incredible selection of toys. Exceptional service. Merilyn went above and beyond to help us. Sales associates like her are the reason we go to real stores instead of shopping online.”
