“Clean, bright, and spacious book shop, organized nicely with shelves and sections labeled clearly. So much variety, including games and crafts, quirky and clever greeting cards that had me cracking up, and endless genres of books (classics, cooking, medieval, and more). They have your typical kids' area, as well as a magazine section, nothing too special here. Spent most of my time checking out the books in the Self Help aisle, and enjoyed browsing through these thought-provoking texts focused on personal growth. Picked up Mindful As F*ck (by Emily Horn), along with a couple cute and comical greeting cards featuring bunnies, before leaving the store. I appreciated the friendly and knowledgeable staff, willing to provide assistance and share their recommendations with customers. There are even signs in each section pointing out recommended books (with personalized explanations by Kepler's and staff). I had a positive experience here this past weekend. Yes, items are on the pricier side, but there's so much to love about the place.”

“The book I wanted wouldn't make it from Amazon on time but I was able to search the Books Inc inventory on their website, drive down and pick it up. The store is cozy, the staff are helpful and if you need a book they are worth a visit.”

“Noelle's Yelp Notebook 2021 Quarantine Chronicles - May 2021 Ave Maria is an essential shop for Catholics. Long ago you couldn't take photos in the shop but I spoke with one of the clerks and they said it's fine to take photos but they still haven't taken the old sign where it said photos are not allowed. In the advent of the internet and social media the only way businesses can survive is by customers sharing photos online. I've been coming to this shop for over 30 years with my family. The shop is specific for Catholics. They have all materials that Catholics may be interested in such as books for children, books for adults, dvds, musical cds, gifts, crucifixes, bottles for holy water, candles, gift sets for first holy communion, confirmation gifts, cards for all occasions, prayer cards, the selection is amazing! They even have garments for Priests, Deacons and things you might need for inside the church but that is separate from the main shopping area. Customer service is good on the phone and in person. The only problem is they only had two staff on a very busy Saturday. They require masks to be worn inside due to the pandemic. Upon entering you are required to sanitize your hands and the sanitizer station. Selection was a little slim on communion and confirmation items as many children are having their first communion and confirmation. I was still able to get the items I needed. One thing I love is their greeting card section - it's super extensive, for all occasions. This is a one stop shop for all your Catholic needs. A favorite place of mine to shop for sure :) Noelle's Notes A great resource for all things Catholic. They are taking pandemic precautions- must wear a mask to shop and sanitize hands upon entering. They are closed on Sundays. If you cannot get here another great catholic resource is the religious gift shop at Our Lady of Peace in Santa Clara (not far from Great America and Mission College).”

“So, SO cute! I loved my visit to this store. A little on the pricey side, but offers many products that are not available elsewhere. I was really interested in Sanrio products and luckily I found a really nice tote bag for ~$17. Very nice folks working here. The bookstore is located in a grocery store, so you can even grab lunch after you shop!”

“Bookasaurus is a gem of a bookstore, filled to the brim with a wide selection of books and gifts. The manager is incredibly kind, even offering free gift wrapping, which makes it my go-to spot for children's gifts. What sets this store apart, though, is the staff. They're not just kind; they're genuinely passionate about getting kids excited about reading. They have a gentle approach that's great with children, making every visit a delight.”

“We went here for used book sales and often took home some books. Good variety of books. If you are a book lover , you would enjoy spending a couple of hours to read some books .”

“An amazing "little" used bookstore tucked away in the basement of the history museum. We were amazed at just how much was actually there! Most books are $1-$5.They have a large selection of older books, a handful of rare finds, and books of all ages in nearly every category you can imagine. We happily spent an hour roaming the shelves hunting for treasures.**Cash or check only!** So come prepared. Next time I go, I'm bringing more cash!(There is a Chase ATM across the street)”

“It's a very small place to find books they have. They have fiction, cooking, history, and other kinds of books. However, you won't find most of the books you need due to the size of this place. I honestly wish that they have manga, but don't think they have them in stock. Probably gonna need to ask them next time though. They also have sections where they have books on sale though I did find ones that were very pricey. Still a good book shop to go to!”

“Ordered stuff and my card was charged. The package had the correct address but USPS delivered the package to the wrong address. USPS is a disaster and I do not fault the Bookstore but they should use FedX or UPS for delivery. The package was delivered to another address and the person was kind enough to drop it off at our home, so the situation was resolved. If ordering, do not use USPS.”

“Super friendly staff when I went to checkout. Came here with a friend and got to explore so much! They have lots of books on pretty much everything, but mostly spiritual based. There were also a lot of little statuettes and stuffed animals to look at! I ended up buying some from my sister. O really a lovely place to stop and shop at when you're in Mountain View.”

“MOVED: 1575 Albatross Dr, 94087, Old Location is Closed One of the few Christian Science Reading Rooms that is open all day, every day. They also leave the current issue of the Christian Science Monitor out for anyone to read and get the headlines. If you want unbiased news this is a great place to get that newspaper and have a quiet place to read it.”

“It was my first time here since I needed to pick up a book that was nowhere to be found in the South Bay Barnes and Noble Bookstores. So the drive was not too bad going to and from there but I was still feeling a bit anxious. Once I arrived, parking was so easy since there were plenty of parking spaces in that area in front of the store. The wait in line didn't take long at all and the one who I spoke with over the phone before coming here excitedly waved my book in the air indicating he had it when he saw me lol while he was still in the middle of ringing someone else up. He continued to remain professional though even after it was my turn and I approached the register. I was so happy the bookseller P. saved it for me since it was the last copy. Mr. P was genuinely kind and very mindful, provided great customer service, very personable. I liked and appreciated that very much. So even though I don't live close to this store, I still came and was treated very kindly the whole time that I was here. Perhaps I can come visit again someday.”

“I arrived unannounced, the gentleman at the front desk explained facilities were not open to the public. It was a misunderstanding on my part, not a worry. I am a big fan of the Scholastic product lines.”

“This review is intended for West Valley-Mission student health services. Kelsey T., an R.N., was wonderful today at West Valley College. I had a campus workout-related ailment that I was concerned about...enough to make an appointment with my Kaiser doctor. Nurse Kelsey patiently explained it to me and "patched me up" without rushing me out the door. Jenny, the medical asst., was very friendly, as well. I'm a 'sophomore' at WVC, but this was my first use of this outstanding resource for students. Thank you...go Vikings!”

“I was disappointed this time because there was not a good men collection. So I had to spend my money on kids and women clothes. But I give them 4 stars because of my previous experiences there”

“I've had Chegg for 3 months and it has come in really handy for more challenging chemistry problems, or if I just don't have the time to finish by myself. There are answers for my courses... way past the gen chem level and my posted questions have been answered in less than an hour. People whining about the price or not being spoonfed answers aren't serious about their education. Definitely worth the money if you want an assist with your college chem”
