“There is such a sense of connection and wellness as one walks through the door of this shop. The personal touch of the shopkeepers, the paradise of innovate toys (many on display) and support of social justice initiatives makes this one of a kind toy stores. We are so fortunate to have this store in our town of San Carlos. I think I love it more than my 9 year old!!”

“Such a lovely bookstore, and a great part of the San Carlos community. I take my daughter for storytime regularly and buy gifts for friends here. It's such a delight to have an independent bookstore in our neighborhood where the staff know and love books, and can share thoughtful recommendations.”

“The book I wanted wouldn't make it from Amazon on time but I was able to search the Books Inc inventory on their website, drive down and pick it up. The store is cozy, the staff are helpful and if you need a book they are worth a visit.”

“Clean, bright, and spacious book shop, organized nicely with shelves and sections labeled clearly. So much variety, including games and crafts, quirky and clever greeting cards that had me cracking up, and endless genres of books (classics, cooking, medieval, and more). They have your typical kids' area, as well as a magazine section, nothing too special here. Spent most of my time checking out the books in the Self Help aisle, and enjoyed browsing through these thought-provoking texts focused on personal growth. Picked up Mindful As F*ck (by Emily Horn), along with a couple cute and comical greeting cards featuring bunnies, before leaving the store. I appreciated the friendly and knowledgeable staff, willing to provide assistance and share their recommendations with customers. There are even signs in each section pointing out recommended books (with personalized explanations by Kepler's and staff). I had a positive experience here this past weekend. Yes, items are on the pricier side, but there's so much to love about the place.”

“I love this store. Lots of ever-changing inventory of used books all the time. If you are looking for beautiful books by Easton press, the folio society or franklin library they have them.”

“Ordered stuff and my card was charged. The package had the correct address but USPS delivered the package to the wrong address. USPS is a disaster and I do not fault the Bookstore but they should use FedX or UPS for delivery. The package was delivered to another address and the person was kind enough to drop it off at our home, so the situation was resolved. If ordering, do not use USPS.”

“I found bunch of New books and bought 11 today for less than $25. But books are not organized at the shop so you will have to spend time to look for them. It's like going to a thrift bookstore except these are brand new books”

“An amazing "little" used bookstore tucked away in the basement of the history museum. We were amazed at just how much was actually there! Most books are $1-$5.They have a large selection of older books, a handful of rare finds, and books of all ages in nearly every category you can imagine. We happily spent an hour roaming the shelves hunting for treasures.**Cash or check only!** So come prepared. Next time I go, I'm bringing more cash!(There is a Chase ATM across the street)”

“I walked in, found some books, and then couldn't find one book but all I knew about was vague enough descriptions I couldn't Google.A team member helped me find the book in a few minutes and offered to order it to the store because it wasn't typically sticked. Pretty cool.”

“It was my first time here since I needed to pick up a book that was nowhere to be found in the South Bay Barnes and Noble Bookstores. So the drive was not too bad going to and from there but I was still feeling a bit anxious. Once I arrived, parking was so easy since there were plenty of parking spaces in that area in front of the store. The wait in line didn't take long at all and the one who I spoke with over the phone before coming here excitedly waved my book in the air indicating he had it when he saw me lol while he was still in the middle of ringing someone else up. He continued to remain professional though even after it was my turn and I approached the register. I was so happy the bookseller P. saved it for me since it was the last copy. Mr. P was genuinely kind and very mindful, provided great customer service, very personable. I liked and appreciated that very much. So even though I don't live close to this store, I still came and was treated very kindly the whole time that I was here. Perhaps I can come visit again someday.”

“Great selection of books for a small store! They had so much in there I was surprised and impressed. The staff were super friendly and helpful and even helped me find the book I was looking for in the sale section as well, it was perfect they had it since I’d just finished the book before on the plane. Now I can read the next one! ?”

“I was disappointed this time because there was not a good men collection. So I had to spend my money on kids and women clothes. But I give them 4 stars because of my previous experiences there”

“Wide variety of high quality California treats and souvenirs. Higher end, but also pricier! Got some locally made trail mix, jerky, and fruit candies. The self check out is handy and I really appreciated having a staffer there to help us navigate the system as I accidentally broke my glasses while shopping and I couldn't read the screens. Great service. Fab selection. High prices.”

“I have come to this Hudson News Store in San Francisco International Airport many times. Sometimes, I wanted a snack or water. Sometimes, I just want to check out the gifts or other things in there when I have to kill time at the airport! They have enough choices of snacks and drinks. Of course, the price is higher because of the airport. The store is clean and very well organized whenever I'm here. The workers at this location are friendly. The best thing about this store is they're never overly crowded.”
