I like book stores, I miss book stores. This store is a gem, they have lots of books coming through this store. They have great selection and youre getting gently used books for half the price, sometimes theres even new books. You really have to dig to find books sometimes, but they do a good job about trying to keep books in alphabetical order and grouped in sections. The staff is very nice here, but dont expect them to know whats on the shelf. Like I said, books turn over here so quickly. Also dont forget to check out the clearance rack outside, books for a buck.

Bookstores..........people used to buy books in these, and they also used to have many USED bookstores......... Now I buy books either on line or at library book stores, and this is a pretty nice one ---- a good selection of books, very good prices, many books are on sale.... things are clearly labeled and its got that old used book store charm........... also, its in a nice area of Oakland, with shops, cafes, and restaurants.......

Ive been going here for over 10 years. The book selection varies all the time since they depend on donations. The staff are all volunteers and super nice. Books are really cheap and usually in good condition. All proceedings go towards the public libraries. What more can you ask for?!

Cool, little bookstore in the Old Oakland neighborhood, with all proceeds benefiting the Oakland Public Library system. Great place to pick up something new to read, for a very good price. If you have any good used books, they accept donations here too!
