    I fell in love with this bookstore. I wish everyone would support this special bookstore.
    Vicki H.

    The owner was very helpful and the bookstore was very welcoming and comfortable. I purchased a couple of special journals, one with butterflies and one with birds and special quotes. I will be back!

    A pleasant environment for book shopping.

    What a treasure in downtown Los Gatos, California! Beyond Text Bookstore just opened for business at 318 N. Santa Cruz Avenue. The store is relatively small, yet the environment is both welcoming and attractive. The owner, Tanya, is knowledgeable and ready to assist customers to find the right selections to match their interests. I was impressed with the wide assortment of books and authors. If you happen to be in downtown Los Gatos, I highly recommend that you stop in to Beyond Text to take a look around. It's so nice to have a small business bookstore in town again.

    A cute bookstore with something for everyone and a much-needed addition to downtown Los Gatos!

    This is a delightful bookstore with something for everyone, from classics to new releases, including wonderfully illustrated books for children and adults. The shop includes board games, gift items, and all kinds of decor. Tanya, the owner, is knowledgeable and warm, and between her welcoming demeanor and the inviting layout you will want to linger!

    Inviting sweet bookstore...

    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.

    Book Go Round is one of the most affordable used bookstores in the Bay Area, and all proceeds…read morebenefit the local Saratoga library. 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!

    One of the best used bookstores around, amazing and diverse selection, unbeatable prices (usually…read more$1-$3), many books look almost brand new. 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!

    Super friendly staff with a great collection of classic and new comics…read more The walls are covered with a mix of comics and posters. 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.
