“As a lover of books and community, Octavia’s Bookshelf is a true gem. I was impatiently waiting for their doors to open and when they did, our community was met with love and a sense of belonging. My son absolutely loved story time, I loved perusing the beautiful works of incredible writers. We picked up some books for my son’s bedtime, and I picked up literature to read the voices of great activists, including one of my favorites: Roxanne Gay. This space provides inclusivity, safety, and joy in a society that has so little.”
“I’m an avid reader, and The Book Alley is now my favorite place to find rare and second-hand books. It’s a bit tucked away in Pasadena, but worth seeking out. The store is like a hidden gem with shelves upon shelves of well-organized, gently used books. I found an original edition of a Hemingway novel, which made my day. The staff is always friendly and willing to help with any requests.”
“I work nearby and have always wanted to stop by. Finally did when my mom was in town for a visit since she loves shops like these. Great customer service and very fair prices. Great place to go for gifts! Will be back.”
“I love the PCC Bookstore! Even when the employees are so busy, they are always friendly and I love all the school gear. I mean, can you ever have too many PCC hoodies? A lot of people talk about wait times on their reviews, but this is not the employees' fault, I know they are doing the best they can! Keep it up guys, you're doing great!”
“How lucky are we to live in CA which has some of the best schools in the world. Cal Tech is one of the best of the best! Did you know that Einstein taught here and you can still see the house that he lived in?? I was here for a tour and loved every minute. How I wish I had this appreciation for education when I was in college. ;-)”
“The only challenge is the abundance of choices here. If you or know someone who collects rare books, this is a great resource to find something unique. Something different. Something classy. One of a kind.”

“Gentleman who attended to me was polite, friendly and helpful. I was coming in as a donor. Other places who have staff that appear and act burned out, treat donors like nobody. He answered my questions and volunteered to help carry tons of clothes from vehicle to unloading area. Gave specific instructions on getting a receipt (helpful for tax write off). I will donate here again.”
