When in Pruneyard, you've gotta check out the Book Inc. I love going to the OCK here and Marshalls! so every time I visit one of those places I make sure to visit this place. I found an autographed Book by a Filipino author here! -- the book was called Wildflower and it was pretty good! and just like any other book store they have a section of miscellaneous cute things which is always entertaining to look at. The staff are always chatty and helpful here! I find their prices fair and square.

Books Inc. is easily one of my favorite bookstores in the South Bay. I have a passion for collecting various cookbooks, and surprisingly, Books Inc. consistently offers a wide array of well-priced cookbooks, often beating online sellers. Their diverse genres and a spacious children's book area, complemented by toys, make it a fantastic spot in a vibrant neighborhood with plenty of restaurants and shops. Service is always consistent, fast, and helpful. I frequently bring my nieces and nephews to indulge in their love for reading and enjoy lunch, macaroons, and ice cream nearby. While parking can be busy on weekends, the overall experience is well worth the visit.

Independent book stores are the BEST! This book store is tucked away, but worth seeking. Their variety is pretty comprehensive and the space is well organized for book lovers to find what they're looking for. There is a large kids' section and you'll find some cozy spots to bond with a new book. I overheard great rapport and customer service with regulars. It was my first time in, and I was easily treated as a valued customer, as well. The store is dog friendly, clean, and user friendly. I am looking forward to a return visit to Books Inc.

I was a bit disappointed with the selection. Mostly for kids books. I could find what I was looking for for my 9 yrs old kid and also nothing for my 4 yrs old. Also, I was not happy with the service , which I felt was a bit surprised when I asked for help picking something. As much as I would love to support local businesses, I think it might be easier to go with Amazon.

Holy sh|t this place is odd in it's own quirky way. Love it! Books Inc is definitely a place I can spend a couple of hours in and feel refreshed like clean clothes! Ah ha. ;L) I was looking for The Hexologists by Josiah Bancroft and we looked on the shelf and the customer service guy found one on the cart! Heck yeah! I was early for this release. JB is a Sci Fi/Fantasy/Dystopian genre and is a pretty in depth reads that's for sure! Enso forever. Parking kinda sucks. By Peet's. Trader Joe's and Sport's Basement.

Books,Inc. is what a bookstore should be. Cozy and inviting, the staff are knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. They know their product and will order what they don't have. The children's department puts on great events to captivate kids and can discuss the books. Love this store!

You can't help but feel drawn in to this store. It's is such a feel good place with games, books, puzzles, and gifts. The employees are always welcoming and helpful. Give yourself an hour to peruse!

My default rating for a bookstore that is still here despite Amazon is 5 stars. Bookstores are my refuge and I miss the days when they were in every shopping area and you could go there...peruse books, grab a drink, and spend a few hours. Books Inc is small but mighty but I am so thankful they are here and I loved that it was packed on an early Wed afternoon.

They do not buy back or sell used books, so Google needs to not recommend here for that search. Cute & has been here a long time. They only have one guy working though & he can sometimes be tough to flag down

Cute little store in the middle of the prune yard plaza. Such a lovely selection of books to choose from while browsing. Their staff is friendly and helpful so I'll be coming back to pick up a few more reads

We're been coming to story time since the pandemic. Robin and her daughter, Zoe, are both great! They take the time to know each child and their names! We meet outside, by the blue gorillas on Thursdays at 10 am. Robins puts on a great 30 minute story time. It's great for all ages and abilities.

Had my book release at books Inc and it was incredible. The best independent bookstore in the Bay area. If you stop in the pruneyard location make sure to pick up a copy of Youth Group ;)
