“The energy you get when you walk in the door. The people you encounter from the staff to the customers. The selection of books for kids and adults, all just amazing. ??♥️”
“Book Alley has a great selection of art and architecture books, a nice collection of first editions and truly enticing bargain racks outside, where I found my $2 copy of Barbara Tuchman’s The March of Folly what a score especially to read in 2026 AHEM. Very friendly staff as well but they need to make some tote bags to sell!!!”
“I ordered an old 1840 book from their website and it arrived the next day. As soon as I ordered I got a personal email from Kelvin and Javier letting me know what to expect and an immediate reply when I followed up with a concern. The book arrived carefully wrapped and beautifully packaged. Great selection, top-notch shipping, and impeccable customer service. It is refreshing seeing someone take such pride in their business. Thank you for such a great experience!”
“Nice little bookstore. Clean and welcoming atmosphere! A lot of books are used but in great condition. Great selection, especially in fiction and fantasy. They had a good amount of vinyls but I didn’t look into those.
Prices were great.
I’m excited to go back and support them!”
“Overall good store - needs more options in clothing especially for female customers.
A few decent options for kids — but it left something to be desired !”
“Best bookstore in so cal, hands down. I love shopping here and will go out of my way to drop in. They have a massive selection of books on a wide range of topics. They're my primary source for my home library. The staff is also very friendly and knowledgeable.”
“I used my class CRN code to order my textbook through the bookstore website . The book and code came in the mail but when I tried to register the code it didnt work. I went to the bookstore and spoke with the manager and he told me that they have been having issues with the MCgraw codes. He gave me a full refund and was very polite. If you have to order a code for a textbook ask your professor if they can provide a direct link to purchase it through the company.”

“I normally don't go to goodwills. But this is a special Goodwill because it's the Goodwill boutique. The prices are high but I mainly only buy The color of the day that's half off.”

“walked in thinking it’d be a quick stop for one gift but ended up spending almost an hour in the cozy back corners. the staff member near the poetry section noticed I was lost and actually asked what I was looking for instead of just nodding past me which was a nice change. found this amazing collection of poetry books I wouldnt have seen in a big store its definately my new spot for grabbing gifts for freinds. the place has an open, quiet energy that just feels different than other stores, kind of like everyone inside is on the same wavelength. didn't get rushed out even when they were busy which is rare these days. grabbed a couple things for myself to because they had a small display of local journals and I couldn’t resist the hand drawn cover im a sucker for that kind of detail. I will absolutly be coming back next time im in town”
