    This place is leaving on November 30,2025. Too bad that the leasing people can't make an agreement to stay.

    Great place to spend some time treasure hunting! One of my favorite bookstores. I wish there were more in the bay!

    Great used book store. It's a wonderful place to spend time browsing books. They also buy books so if you have extra and the local lending libraries are full bring em down.

    Even if you have really great books to sell, don’t bother. They are going to put most of my books on the shelf, but offered me literally a dollar for a large bag of decent hardback books that I had bought there over the past few years. Cold attitude of the buyback guy doesn’t help. Front staff are kind and helpful. For the record, I’ve been coming here for decades and have brought in books to sell a few times. In the past, you’d enough money to buy yourself a new book and maybe a cup of coffee at the very least. I have a big library and I’m an avid reader, and most of my books are hard bound ones around interesting nonfiction, topics with durable appeal.
