An independent bookstore the way we love them: excellent and diverse selection, extremely helpful staff , warm and inviting interior.
@Books Inc, this is a quint little bookstore with super helpful staff . FYI, they offer free gift wrapping with the most adorable wrapping paper! So chic .
Book readings here are good - lots of space, good authors
Small but eclectic collection. JR is an amazingly nice sales associate, so going here is always a pleasant experience.
Great selection of books . Will return.
Great go to place after having coffee at Pete's(next door) or my favorite Philz Cofee(kiddie corner) on VanNess.
It's small, but this store has an excellent music section. I rarely leave emptyhanded.
A surprisingly nice sale section , but otherwise pretty ordinary.
Good area to relax

The hot and cold food selection always make an excellent alternative for lunch. They do feature several flavors of pizza. A counter for pastries and coffee is available upon entering on California St. - Bennett W Wong
