I wouldn't bother bringing books in to sell! Store selection is great, staff is very polite & nice!…read moreThe bathroom is clean. However I brought in 7 large grocery bags of books & novels... most in like-new condition. Many by very famous authors. They wanted all but about 10 of the books & offered me $18 for the ones they wanted to keep.... Had I left them 'all' of my books, I was told they would have gone on their shelves or to other stores. Crazy to donate products for them to sell. Makes more sense just to donate them & let a non profit sell them...or donate to Friends of the Library... I waited well over an hour to hear the $18 offer LOL.... CRAZY ME!! But it's a very nice place to shop!

Historically significant bookstore that touches upon the beatniks, musicians and bohemians…read more I love this long-lived bookstore. It opened originally across the street in 1955 by conscientious objector Roy Kepler. He had ties to and thought along the same lines as Lawrence Ferlinghetti, the founder of City Lights Books in San Francisco. Ken Kesey, Jerry Garcia and loads of other literary and musical bohemians have mentioned the impact this bookstore had on their lives. Support your local bookstore and come here.

The staff were really friendly and accommodating when I came to see some author friends speaking on their Speculative Saturday sci-fi/fantasy panel and book signing. Lots of restaurant options in the area. After the event, some of us headed out to dinner together.

I am a sucker for good independent local bookstores and Books on B is quintessentially everything I…read morelove about independent bookstores! First off, Renee absolutely is THE person to own and run this place. She feels like a warm lovable character from your favorite book, the kind you reach for every now and then to read over and over again. I called recently because I really wanted to get my hands on a copy of Nikita Gill's new book "Hekate" and yes, I know I could just order it online from big box stores but I knew I wanted to support my local bookstore. Renee was quick and prompt and while she didn't have it in stock, she ordered it as quick as she could and I was able to go pick it up in the next day or so! And I picked up a few other books while I was at it because who could say no to more books!? I love popping in whenever I'm strolling downtown and I hope Books on B never leaves!

Renée is one of the most genuine and kind people I have met and is super community focused. I've…read morenever had anything but the best experiences at Books on B. Buy your books here.

Great sale on books! $30 to fill up a box if you're not associated with a school. I bought books…read morefor my kids and to give out for my child's birthday goodie bags. The selection targeted elementary and middle school age but I also found a good amount for my preschooler. If I was only buying for age 1-4 I don't think I'd fill up a box (mainly because they were almost all paperback and thin) but anything older and you will find plenty. All the workers were nice and friendly. It made me want to work there too lol. Note: I came during their warehouse book sale which lasted 3 days. This is not open every day! You can check their website to see if one is coming up later this year but I didn't hear of any set schedule or dates for when they're doing it again.

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.
