    Great indie bookstore! Owners have great taste in the books they offer and the store itself is such a charm for the town.

    Charming; surprisingly well stocked; friendly and informative woman at the front desk (owner?); bought far more than we intended to.

    I've been to Book Passage only twice now and had unpleasant experiences both times. Although it's…read morevery close to our home, I drive further to other independently owned small bookstores -solely because of the employees terrible attitudes here. It's sad because Book Passage has fantastic events, classes, speakers, and more. But the employees are SO useless and act like you're inconveniencing them when you ask for help to find things you'd like to buy. On my visit yesterday, I was shopping for some gifts for my former students and their parents (in SoCal). Naturally, this gift was to be special and I wanted to find the perfect thing for them. When I asked the woman (not sure of her name, but she has red hair in a long bob) where NorCal specific items were, she half motioned with her hand and said it was in the other building. When I went back to ask another question, she stared at me and then walked off. Another employee begrudgingly helped me. The two women working in the other building were deep in personal convo and looked SO annoyed when I asked about the gift items area. When I was rung up, there was no "thanks" or "have a good day", just silence. Wow, these ladies are so rude and such a buzzkill!! I debated leaving a review, but after I came to check other patrons experiences, I see this is their M.O and it should be a good warning to all that shop here.

    Nice independent bookstore that's in 2 separate buildings. They get a lot of authors and speakers…read moreso it's a nice part of the community. I saw Anthony Bourdain on tour right after kitchen confidential was popular 20 years ago. They have a decent used book selection too

    The staff here is extremely knowledgeable and helpful without being overbearing…read more As an immunocompromised individual I'm always looking for businesses which still provide hand sanitizer for customer use and who have employees who are courteous about customers who wear masks. I find this a very professional attitude to show concern for other humans. I've been to this bookstore twice in a month and am happy to say I'll be back soon. There's nothing like the smell and feeling of a fresh, new book in my life. They also have a beautiful selection of Tarot and Oracle decks.

    I walked into Copperfields hoping to find a white elephant gift. I spotted a woman standing there…read morewatching me. I said hello and explained that I was looking for help finding a white elephant gift for a coworker. I asked for some suggestions. Her response was, "I don't know your coworker." Seriously? I barely know my coworker either. Needless to say, she was no help at all. I ended up turning around and helping myself since I clearly wasn't going to get any assistance. As I was leaving, she said something like, "I'm sorry if I offended you," without a smile. Great. I went down the street and walked into two other stores, explaining the same white elephant gift dilemma. At both stores, the retail clerk took the time to walk me around their store, offered ideas and suggestions to see what might work. Of course, I ended up buying the gift at one of those stores. Novato Copperfield may want to consider training employees to be more helpful when customers ask unusual questions-but then again are white elephant gift questions in December really so out-of-the-ordinary? Just now I searched for "white elephant Christmas gifts" on Amazon and found a ton of somewhat amusing suggestions. I'm not a Prime member and I tend to avoid all thing Amazon, but at least their algorithm/AI is actually helpful...
