“they have a lot of selection of hello kitty merch at a good price! they also have good stock of all the sonny angels & smiskis! not sure how much they were charging for sonny angels but they are charging smiskis for $12.99”
“This store has the best selection of Judaica and the owners are so helpful. It is such a pleasure to have a brick and mortar store where I can compare items. And around holiday times there is no better place to shop.”
“I have been coming to Marcus Book Store since I was a little girl. The atmosphere hasn’t changed…you can still sit on the floor and read. The selection is amazing and the service is wonderful.”
“For book lovers, this is one of the most amazing places you could visit in the Bay Area!
Four whole floors dedicated to books of the most varied kind, from European and Latin American history to fiction and rare books ?
A huge amount of well-kept used books, those that you feel the story just by their art and appearance”
“A complete Islamic bookstore. Catering from the beginners to the advance level curious minds. Easy learning games for children, coloring Islamic books, prayer mats and more. A must visit for every Islamic knowledge seeker in Berkley, Oakland area.”
“What an awesome bookstore! The owner is so nice and sweet angel Lyla is so cute lounging around the shop. The selection of books is amazing and I can’t wait to go back and get more books! ❤️♥️”
“Fun bookstore to browse! Lots of great finds, both new and old (nostalgic).The layout was confusing at first, with some books not in alphabetical order so it may take a bit of searching if you are looking for a specific book or author.”

“There's a lot of books here, and I found some interesting horror and sci-fi pickups, but my lord the place needs a good sorting out. They shipped the books for me, and everything showed up fine. It's a good stop for sci-fi and horror fans, but be willing to pick through every section if you want to find any gems.”
“This place is a dream come true—a cozy third space where books and wine meet! The self-service wine machines in the back make it fun to choose between multiple wine options for just a taste, a half glass, or a full pour, and the owners’ book recommendations are very thoughtful. The vibe is warm, inviting, and perfect for unwinding. Can’t wait to come back!”
“I've been coming to this nice little bookstore for about 35 years. They have a good selection, but more importantly they have a good vibe. I have found many of my favorite books here, as well as several outstanding CDs.”
“Stopped in here while in town to help my daughter move for college, and I had a few hours to kill. I was happy they open at 10AM, since most other record shops in thr area didn’t open until noon. I really didn’t expect much from their vinyl selection given the smaller size of the shop and since they appeared to focus more on books than records. But I was super impressed by their great selection, from classic rock, to indie, to electronic, to blues, and jazz. They had new, sealed vinyl as well as some preowned options. I came away buying WAY more than I had expected, as I found a few hard to find titles from my wishlist, several of which were marked down, so the pricing on many were less than I’ve seen at other shops. I liked that their staff provided some of their recommendations on the shrinkwrap, many of which showed good taste in my opinion. Although it’s a lot smaller than the bigger Bay Area record shops, they’ve got some great options! Plus, they had a ton of book options throughout the store. The staff was also very pleasant. If you’re shopping during the week, make sure to pay for parking at the kiosks to avoid the ridiculous parking fines they give out! (I got one for $72 a block away!)”

“I felt very safe as a trans person here staff were very kind and although they didn't have what I was looking for I was able to find other pieces that more politicalyneutral bookplaces wouldn't stock 10/10 atmosphere 10/10 staff”
“I have been several times and purchased many small crystals with the best prices I have seen! The owners are so kind and helpful! I bring friends to experience the store often. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“My favorite bookstore in the bay! Everyone is kind, eager to help, and the selection is great. I especially love the employee recommendation tables. Even bought some home decor here.”

“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.”
“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.”
“I am looking forward to my next visit! Lovely small shop with a good selection of titles. The children's section had a nice range of books across age levels which was nice for a small bookstore. I appreciated that they had a good selection of interesting cards and small gifts.”
“HPB does a great job. This location has many treasures. The nice thing about used book stores is that if they don't have what you want, new books arrive later. Since this store is busy, new books arrive often.”
“What's not to love? Proceeds benefit the Oakland Public Library. This shop is a smorgasbord of used books. You'll find plenty of classics and modern bestsellers but they also have sections for other languages, music books, comic books, just about everything! Amazing staff of volunteers who care deeply about reading and are always happy to help. Cozy and well-organized. I always find something special when I visit.”
“Great book store with good variety of new and used books. From Children's books to the classics, anything you would want to find is there. They also have a variety of local books and seem to be very connected to the area they're in. It's in a very beautiful area and always worth a visit.”
“wonderful way to discover new releases and older gems. I love how the bookstore is formatted - truly feels like a treasure trove and helps me rediscover the magic of finding the unexpected.”
“Love this local book shop. They have a loyalty program and the staff are so nice! They helped me special order a book for my kids bday and were so thoughtful with the whole process. Support a local small business!”
“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!”
“every time I go, I find something it's so easy to lose track of time in there ; take some time out of your busy schedule and stop by. your gonna like it. GOD BLESS to all my brothers and sisters”
“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!”

“I went to this book store with my mom. I'm not into books, but my mom is a big reader. I think all the books are donated or they bought. My mom bought three books, just for $4.50. Really cheap books. That's my 5 stars.”
“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.”
“A light-filled spot with lovely books for little and not-so-little ones. We got several sweet books (e.g., Letters to My Grandchild) authored by Lea Redmond, and the warm storefront attendant Elizabeth wrapped beautiful gifts for the grandparents, who will definitely be delighted when they receive their care package. Thank you!”
