I absolutely love this place. I'm confused by the reviews saying the prices are high, and this is by far the cheapest used bookstore around. The selection may not be as extensive as some of the bigger stores, but I always manage to find something interesting when I'm there. The staff is incredibly sweet as well.

Mask still required despite vaccination status (I’m triple vaccinated) and no county mandate for ~6 months. I didn’t have one on hand so I drove 10 minutes to the Pleasant Hill Friends Book Store. Highly recommend the Pleasant Hill store - it’s roomy, has a great selection, and you can see some other smiling faces while you shop

No updated books, and no word search or memory games. Very confused staff, and not knowing where things are in the store.. order online.

Nice clean, quiet and quaint store with a nice selection of books. Volunteer staff is helpful and friendly. Takes me back a few years when small book stores were more prevalent. Overall a good experience that will keep me coming back.

Ever since they dramatically increased their prices, the selection has suffered. I used to be a frequent visitor/buyer, but now only go on rare sales day, finding at most one book to buy. Had gone way downhill.

Best little book store to browse. I may not find what I was looking for, but I always find something that I'm happy with. The volunteers are very nice, knowledgeable, and helpful.

This Library Friends bookstore had probably the most amazing selection of any I've visited! They had a wonderful business / finance section and quite a few tech and startup focused works so we ended up getting quite a few more than expected. The service was super sweet and friendly and the space had a hand sanitizer dispenser. They also take credit cards and do have their own bags if you forgot to grab your reusable one ahead of time. All in all, Friends Corner Book Shop is a real gem, and we will definitely be returning!

This place has just increased their prices 250% post Covid. All books are donated and staff is volunteers. No reason other than greed for such an increase. Prices are still reasonable, but I will be going there a lot less and being much more selective. And I won't recommend them as highly.
