Legendary store. Have always enjoyed every visit here. I always find good finds each visit from all the many options to choose from here. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. I love the location as it is near a restaurant I adore, Max's Opera Cafe. Peet's shares the building and entrance so that is a nice perk. Buy a book, get a beverage, sit and enjoy both. There is a parking garage with Valet service in the building. Love the many live talks with authors.

Nice shop. Bigger and quite a lot more books than you'd expect from the shops' photo.

I was looking for books about birds. And this place didn't disappoint me.I was also asked (as a favor) to get One Nation Under Blackmail, but only the Vol.1 was readily available. Then, the store owner was kind enough to help me get the Vol.2.The estimated arrival of the said book was 2-3 days. It arrived just the day after my request. What a service.They got a handful of books about birds, but there's not much space in my luggage. But still, I had to choose two from the stack. One was on sale, so it was a steal. I just couldn't pass it up.

An all-around great book store with good selection of books, cool stationary, magazines, cards etc. Very helpful, knowledgeable staff. Authors and other literacy events are hosted in-store as well. Last but not least, is their up-to-date, user-friendly Website noting new book releases, events etc. Located next to Peet's Coffee, it's a book/coffee lover's dream come true.

Well, I had two successive doctors' appointments yesterday at CPMC Van Ness Ave.. And a couple of hours to kill in between each appointment. Thankfully Books Inc still has a location on Van Ness just 5 blocks away from CPMC so it gave me a place to kill time, get my mind off my upcoming doctor's appointment. Wow. Pleasantly surprised. It is located at Opera Plaza and is connected to a Peet's coffeeshop. The best of both worlds: Books and coffee! Also the bookshop space is huge. I only visit Books Inc in Laurel Village and the other branch in the Marina district. But honestly I love the Van Ness location now as well. Of course, I purchased a couple books plus a a couple magazines ( they have a great selection of magazines BTW including a few British ones). Also the staff are very helpful and friendly.
