1179 San Carlos Ave, San Carlos“Reach and Teach is an amazing store to have in the community! I can't believe how nice it is to have a refill store so close by, and with such nice staff members. I love browsing the extensive collection of kids games and books. I have found many games here that I have only seen online! Craig and Derrick are amazing and so nice to speak to.”

536 Emerson St, Palo Alto“If you want to touch something truly deep, selected with great care, attention, and talent, then Bell's Books is the place for you! A family business transmitting sacred knowledge and secrets of the book business is a rarity these days. It is a real treasure that preserves the professionalism and invaluable experience of the owners. It was a pleasure to visit and speak to its owner!”
“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 .”

301 S B St, San Mateo“Great used bookstore! The owner and staff are very knowledgeable, and they have many books in a large range of topics and categories. They also have a well-curated collection of vintage, antique, and collectible books. If you are looking for something specific that they do not have, they may be able to procure it for you. Take a few minutes to chat with the staff before paying - when they know what you like, they are often able to direct you to books you may not have seen or in places you may not have looked.”
“An expansive array of metaphysical and spiritual goods. Everything from books, crystals, candles, jewelry, statues, and other interesting items. A huge selection of tarot cards and singing bowls.”
“Such a lovely children’s bookstore! They have a very wide range of selection for books and toys for little ones. Worry not, they also have a small section for young adults as well.Personally, I love their collection of puzzles. There are many rare puzzles that I couldn’t find it online or Amazon. These are amazing!Oh, the staff is very friendly. They also have a gift wrapping station.”

785 Laurel St, San Carlos“Such a lovely bookstore, and a great part of the San Carlos community. I take my daughter for storytime regularly and buy gifts for friends here. It's such a delight to have an independent bookstore in our neighborhood where the staff know and love books, and can share thoughtful recommendations.”
“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.”

317 Castro St, Mountain View“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!”
“Very nice bookstore, clean, well-equipped, it feels cozy and has a wide assortment of children's books (it's what we were going to look for) and in addition to books we liked that they have very nice Legos of plants for sale.”
“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 could spend all day in this Barnes & Noble. I love the sections that I'm interested in: Business, Self Study, Sports, Current Events, Study Aids. Great books for myself and for giving as gifts to friends and my old high school. The staff are friendly and courteous.”
“Three floors in totalThere is a restaurant, resting area, and bookstore on the second floor.The first floor mainly contains chairs, clothes and most souvenirs.In the basement are children’s clothing, toys, and some stationery”
“Been using the Foothill bookstore for my whole duration as a student and it's always been a great resource. Friendly staff and my books usually come in great edition. Also offers free shipping.”
“This unique independent bookstore has a history of more than half a century. It has a lot of books, including many children's books. People of every age group can find books suitable for them here.
The bookstore is close to the train station and downtown. There is also a farmer's market nearby on Sunday mornings. Take advantage of the holidays to visit the bookstore, buy a favorite book and read quietly in the cafe next to it. Then go for a walk downtown to buy local agricultural products or enjoy the colorful scenery. The artistic neighborhood scenery, or taking your children to play in the small green park next to it, is a good choice.”
