“I am often there. If you stop by to have a coffee or tea and look at the books, you will enjoy yourself. This is a peaceful place in a very good and safe location. Total wine is close, and I like to check their wine selection. As a wine enthusiast, this place is ideal. New books, used books, kids books and coffee break, nothing better.A latte is healthy for you from what I learned. It has antioxidants, protein and calcium and it tastes delicious.”
“Great selection of used books nestled away in a quiet bookstore. They also have some nice greeting / holiday cards at the front. The folks working were very helpful and polite.”
“Lovely place. It is linked to Peet's entrance, so your can get your book and go read it with a nice cupa. Staff does a great job putting together theamed book displays. And all the little extras like journals, stuffed toys, greeting cards are nice.”
“Excellent selection, beautiful layout and a focus on local authors and artists. Some incredible bay area history books/coffee-table books, and charming greeting cards made by local artists. A+++ service; love this place!”
“Beautiful bookstore with knowledgeable staff on a gorgeous street in SF. I am in town on vacation and wanted a book on the unknown history of the city. The gentleman behind the counter walked me to a shelf and handed me my next read, "Spirits of San Francisco" by Gary Kamiya and Paul Madonna. The store is well organized and offers a great variety of books and gifts. Do not miss this place!”
“We are very fortunate to have Corner Books inside the Tiburon library. There’s no other place like it—they have a fantastic selection of books at the lowest prices possible and a friendly smart team that can help people find exactly the right books to read or give as gifts.”
“Great place to buy books including a good sum of products you don't find in any other book store in the US normally. Japanese books, magazines and manga untranslated for one thing.”
“I love supporting our San Anselmo library! I was able to buy books for everyone in my family for a very affordable price. It is fun to search the shelves looking for unique finds. The volunteers are very kind.”
“Every time I go, my eyes are happy. I bought a small mobile on this day. It's not very large, but there are many different and fun gifts. Yayoi's pumpkin cushion is too expensive to buy.”

“I wish I could buy this entire store ; its design and display achieves a sublime balance between high art and warmth ; your eye flits amongst books and posters and makes unexpected connections ; this does result in nice impulsive buying; I will visit more often as I am registered to take a modern architecture class at Stanford. Vernon and staff are well informed, dispatching their knowledge with ease and warmth.”
“Everything you want out of a classic bookstore. Anything from the essentials to the niche, in a tranquil and smooth-jazz filled enclosure. Owner is a wonderful guy, and I'm very happy with my purchases.”
“The Cartoon Art Museum was a lovely addition to our touring schedule for our family, including our 16 year old, a self-proclaimed Comic Con geek. The museum fueled her curious nature. A quaint little off the beaten path respite from all energy of the Wharf, we loved the reading room, and the memorabilia was well displayed. Also, the local artists featured in several areas around the museum were extremely impressive. We felt very welcomed and enjoyed seeing the mentoring going on between curator and what appeared to be a new museum employee. Overall, it was a 5 star experience. Excellent quality.”
“Classic small town bookstore. Helpful, well stocked and great prices.
Support these small booksellers or that personalized service and small-town feel will disappear forever.”
“You simply MUST visit if you have any appreciation for the lost art of bookmaking or any interest in typography and the mechanics of printing. The machinery used here date back to some of the earliest printing processes and are still working.This place is a museum that still produces beautiful art books. The fine people working here are true artisans and are happy to share their work with you. Call ahead to be sure you can take the tour, or attend a show featuring their amazing artwork on display.”
“The first time I visited this store was twenty years ago. I never thought that this independent bookstore would still be able to survive in 2024. For endangered creatures, I am happy to support it with US dollars.”

“I felt very safe as a trans person here staff were very kind and although they didn't have what I was looking for I was able to find other pieces that more politicalyneutral bookplaces wouldn't stock 10/10 atmosphere 10/10 staff”
“This store is a magical wonderful with great gifts. It has something for everyone. I love the great selections of toys, gifts and antiques. Susan has curated a great collection.”
“If you're not exiting through the gift shop and buying a bunch of cheap junk along the way, are you really a tourist? Get your little metal cup and clank it, baby!”
“Amazing customer service and care. I don’t remember his name but he was wonderful gentleman who helped my friend pick a book and was just so knowledgeable and friendly.”
“Copperfield's Books is an awesome store/chain. In these Amazon, instant-gratification-centric times, I love taking a slowed-down and more conscientious approach to buying books whenever possible. Yes, the prices will be higher than Amazon and other online retailers. If something is not in stock, you may have to wait for them to order it, but waiting and supporting a small local business feels worth it to me. Their employees have always been kind and helpful to me over the phone and in person. They have an excellent selection of books packed into their brick-and-mortar storefront, and on the rare occasion they don't have what I'm looking for, they're willing to order it. I've been particularly impressed with their graphic novel selection. I've had consistently good experiences here, at their Napa and Petaluma locations, too, so I've got to give them five out of five stars across the board.”
“First time at a standalone Moleskine store! They had every size, colour and type of Moleskine books you could want. And also all other product offerings as well like bags, cases and even customizable accessories and service to do in-house print of monogram/words on your purchased book. They have all the partnership/collab books as well like Le Petite Prince, Star Wars , etc. Prices are at regular levels here, no sales were spotted during my late December visit. They did have some beautiful gift sets here that you can't find any where else. Which are lovely gift ideas for stationery/paper lovers in your life! There were 2 staff members present during my visit, and one of them very quickly came to greet my friends and I as soon as we entered.”

“Wonderful neighborhood bookstore with lots of popular and seasonal children's books, and many high quality toys. Also large selection of staff curated and best selling adult fiction/non-fiction.
Lots of parking in front and back.”
“What a good reminder of this unsung bookstore across the street from the College of Marin. I wanted a book today for a birthday party tonight--nothing like waiting until the last second! Not only did they have that precise book, but wrapped it beautifully while I browsed the extensive card collection. And I had a fine discussion about recent books with the two individuals minding the store. I will go there first in the future--the "First" in the name of the store means more than just First St. where they got their start!”

“Incredible selection of toys. Exceptional service. Merilyn went above and beyond to help us. Sales associates like her are the reason we go to real stores instead of shopping online.”
