I've lived in Pleasanton for over 20 years and can't believe I hadn't reviewed Towne Center books…read moreyet! What a gift this establishment is to our community!! Whether you like to read or are looking for the perfect gift, this shop is an absolute treat in every way. The people who work here are so knowledgeable about books and scan always recommend the perfect novel or nonfiction based on a description of your preferences. It reminds me of the days when there were neighborhood video rental shops before Blockbuster and Netflix. You could walk in and describe what you were in the mood for, and they would find you the perfect film. Towne Center is this for books!! And they gift wrap for free!!! Why go anywhere else!?! Support our community and patronize this wonderful shop.

When we're visiting Pleasanton, Towne Center Books is a must-visit. The selection isn't the…read morebiggest, but the layout and the staff make the visit always worthwhile. There's a center display right inside the front door with staff selections and new books. What they don't have in volume, they make up with a curated selection, and nice little tags with book descriptions. Bob was an older gentleman who worked here until he recently passed. He also sometimes worked in the Livermore store. Like many men, I got a lot of books here based on his recommendations for history. After chatting with me just a couple times, he recognized me when I came in the store, and steered me towards something I could not resist. I'll miss him very much. Thank you to the store for the great display.

I am so happy to see a Barnes & Noble close by! This bookstore is huge with plenty of things to…read morelook at. I feel like you can easily spend a lot of time here just browsing all the different areas. I definitely got lost a couple times but figured out my way after a while lol Barnes & Noble is so much more than a bookstore, should definitely visit if you have some time to kill or just want to walk around and be amazed by the inventory lol

Review #1,003 Posted on 2.26.26…read more We come here anytime we come to this shopping center in Dublin. Most recently we came on Valentine's Day in between dinner & our movie. In what honestly feels like the only Barnes n Noble left in the Bay Area, this place stays packed, every time I've gone in here it's busy. They've got a huge selection of books & mags obviously, other products to buy as well. That can range from Lego sets you don't see in the stores, puzzles, kids toys, other book related novelty items They've also got a coffee shop on the right that's always got people sitting and eating/drinking at, a nice feature for when you come in you can grab a cup of coffee and a bite to eat too. That's where most people who want to chill and read go to. They've also got a super knowledgeable staff here too, which for my money is always really helpful.

There's not many book stores this size that sell & trade used books. This one is pretty good size…read morewith a good selection of fiction, nonfiction, sci-fi, romance, young adult, etc... However, the concrete floors are terrible for your knees if you are trying to get a book on a lower shelf. They have a few cashiers and workers in the back. Some of the used paperbacks books were discounted as low as $3. I believe prices were about $6ish on other books. The books were in good shape. There were a few copies of the same book. They had some older popular authors They have a big parking lot and an Hallmark shop in the same shopping plaza with places to eat nearby.

I like this comics bookstore. My son goes here a lot ( every week!) and I love to go there during…read morefree comics book day!! Today is such a day. Besides the free comic book, the owner has booked a Smash Bros truck, a smashed burgers truck. We tried it, and the burgers were good!! A bit pricey ( 1$ extra for one slice of tomato and 1$ extra for some shredded lettuce ) but they were good! And somebody was selling coffee too. We sat in the car to enjoy our lunch, then went back to the store for more bargains. The bookstore has some outside vendors too. I bought a drawn book for my granddaughter, and they were some lovely bookmarks too. I bought some 3D printed Pokemon toys last year, but I was disappointed that vendor didn't come back.

The staff here have always been…read morefriendly, helpful, they have a comic section with books from the last year or so on the right side of the store which includes titles from Marvel, DC, Image, Dynamite, and a few titles from independents. I have not seen many back issues with the exception of wall comics. They have a pretty large area of clearance $1 comics on the left side of the store which seem to be 2-3 years old books. I like that these $1 boxes are on tables and my back appreciates that they are easy to sort through. They also have an inventory of collected editions which includes trade paperbacks, hardcovers, omnibus, and compendiums. The owner Kerry has tried to help me find some obscure current comic books a couple times which I appreciate. The staff have all been helpful and easy to work with. I believe they do a significant amount of business in trading card/game card these days, but still have a respectable comic offering.
