After lunch, I wanted to check the bookstore next door to the restaurant…read more This is a really nice bookstore with a ton of great books. Each area is divided by subject matter. I really love fiction, so I hung out in that area for a bit to see what they had. I really like the layout of this store and how they display the books. They even had a section called "blind date with a book." They were gift wrapped with a tiny quote from the book or description about the book. What a fun idea. There nothing like have a tangible book in your hands to read. I prefer reading books this way, over using a device. I guess I'm just old school. Prices are what's labeled on the book. They also offer a discount section of books.

The volunteer staff are always lovely :) I walk out of here with no less than 10 books every time I go and rarely spend more than $10-$15. That's basically a coffee these days, but instead you get to restock your bookshelf and buy gifts for your family and friends, knowing every dollar you spend will go towards supporting the Los Gatos library! I would easily give this place 6 stars if I could.

I could spend a whole day in this bookstore! This store carries so many different types of books,…read moreboth used and new. The selection was overwhelming. I stopped by on a Tuesday evening, and it wasn't overly busy. I meandered through the aisles and was blown away by the genres/styles/options. Whether you love mystery or memoirs or illustrated novels or fiction, there is a book for you at Recycle Bookstore. What's more, since they sell used books, there are so many options at an extremely affordable price. I was able to pick up a Spanish vocabulary book for less than $5! The service was unremarkable, which is exactly what I want from a bookstore. I was able to slowly check out all the books without any rush/pressure. There was so much cute merch in the store as well, ranging from tote bags to stickers. If you're looking for a book to read or even some fun souvenirs, check this spot out!

Recycle Bookstore holds a special place in downtown Campbell and feels like a walk through memory…read morelane. In an age where everything is ordered online and endlessly scrolled through on a phone app, this bookstore reminds me how important physical bookstores are to a community, right alongside public libraries. I love being able to wander the aisles, glance at titles, read the backs of books and discover staff picks or unexpected finds. There's something grounding about picking up a book, flipping through the pages, and deciding if it's coming home with you. Because it's a used bookstore, the deals are great, and you'll often find items that are harder to track down online or cost much more elsewhere. As someone who collects out-of-print graphic novels, especially indie titles from publishers like Image Comics, finding older first printings at reasonable prices makes every visit worthwhile. The shop has a cozy, welcoming vibe, and the staff is genuinely pleasant and knowledgeable. I truly appreciate this place and what it represents. It's always worth stopping in and supporting a local bookstore like this.

It's a quaint little shop with a great selection of books ranging from 50 cents and up. Yes, you read that right 50 cents!They also carry CDs and DVDs. The books range from acceptable to like-new condition. My wife and I walked out with 7 books and 2 CDs for $28, which is an insane deal. Friends of the Library groups are usually at every library in the Bay Area. They're kind people who volunteer their time to help sell books and fund local libraries. The workers here are all volunteers, so they're not getting paid they're there to support their community. Big props to all of them. If you're looking for a book in the Bay Area, I'd recommend stopping here first or checking out your local Friends of the Library shop before going to a for-profit used bookstore or buying online. Your small purchase can make a big difference in your community. Happy reading Bay Area! Always support your local Friends of the Library!

All proceeds go to supporting the Saratoga library. This place gives me so much hope that books and libraries will never go out of style, no matter what technologies threaten to supplant them :) Also the staff working the shop are always delightful, all volunteer run and they are always looking for people to join their team!

Hicklebee's Bookstore has been around since 1979. While their emphasis is children's books, they…read morehave something for everyone, including infants, toddlers, kids, teens, young adults, and adults. Besides books, they offer toys, games, and fun gift items, as well as author's readings and other literary events. I was there recently searching for something good to read in the adult section. The adult books include fiction, biography, cookbooks, sci-fi and fantasy, and more. I found several books that looked interesting and settled on a new one by Lily King called Heart the Lover. I don't know anything about it, but enjoyed her last book. I also bought myself a cute canvas shopping bag with cats and a book club theme. I keep thinking about a couple of the books I left behind. I'm pretty sure I'll be back soon to pick them up.

The woman gave my friend unnecessary attitude for something that could have been resolved without being rude.

It was like visiting a museum dedicated to the comics of my childhood. Well, to be honest, some of the comics on display came out before I was born, which feels like a million years ago. Prices were clearly marked on the classic collection on the walls. It was fun looking at the old comic cover art and compare it to the contemporary artsy covers. A fun visit. I will definitely be coming back.

So rarely do you find a comic book store that actually specializes in comics! They have some…read moreassorted other items but there is no doubt what you're getting here. And they take good care of what they have. SELECTION: I was impressed that they had CGC slabs in a whole section. Autographed comics had a section. Variant cover by artist in another section. And TONS of great back issues. I would've arranged the new books so it's easier to see but I imagine the majority of their customers are pull service. Still I love the selection of back issues. SERVICE: Friendly, nice and helpful. Definitely good quality service. And they care about your books. Well kept. COST: You could find it cheaper on eBay but then you run the risk of damage and lower quality books since grading is so subjective. Here you MIGHT pay a little more but they are price competitive and you can pick it out without paying shipping. I would come here instead.
