I have mixed reviews. The books are beautiful, diverse and offer a wide selection of political and socially aware titles from children's to adult. Unfortunately, I have to throw in a caution as they will try to convince you to get involved in the works of their "leader." if the bookstore itself did not have cult undertones it would be a great space.

I love this bookstore! The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Lots of great books here, covering a fairly wide variety of topics. I think this store alone is worth traveling to Berkeley for.Thank you all for making this possible!

Amazing bookstore to find alternative viewpoints from what society considers the truth. Great place to challenge your belief system.

Sad to learn how this store spreads russian propaganda, total disrespect to human rights and insights violence.

Such knowledgable and helpful staff. They went out of their way to tell is about the latest diverse books on their shelves. They are so well informed on banned books and helpful in ensuring you pick diverse books for your home or, in my case, school library. Educator discount available.

8/28/22 - visited revolution books ( @revolutionbksb ) and felt like i could browse in there for HOURS ! the way that all of the books were separated according to the various genres they fit under was so easy to navigate and was overall nice :) unfortunately, i had set a limit of how many books i could buy or else i would have filled my bags ! i think it is so important to support not only independent bookstores but also bookstores like this one with a purpose ! they describe themselves as "a bookstore about the world and for a whole new world!" personally, i love this because all of the books they sell are picked for a reason. they are books written by people who deserve to have their voice heard because they have important things to say in a world where sometimes people refuse to listen ! i am happy that i was able to contribute to and support a place who offers a safe space for writers and readers that want to create change :) if you haven't visited this bookstore, then you need to run over there right now ! or maybe tomorrow when they're open :) as the banner on the front of their store says "support & sustain this unique bookstore & buy a gift that matters!"

Bob Avakian needs to start giving his employees a share of the profits - unless he is just a cheap capitalist and hypocrite.

This is a true independent bookstore and I love coming here. I've been there with my husband as we look for books. I often find myself in a seat reading. My husband never reads without a book. They also have some wonderful events. I went to one event for an "unthanksgiving" my term. It celebrated the release of of movie about the indigenous occupation of Alcatraz. There was a second event, I forget why we went, but we had some of the best Mediterranean food, catered by a local family. I also went back for a book sale. They also had a preview of the Summer of Soul movie virtually! I love coming here and think that they have a fantastic selection of books, especially for kids. And the people who work there are really nice.

This is not a bookstore. It is a revolution center for Antifa.
