“This is my favorite local bookstore. I've gone here to buy books for all kinds of special occasions over the years. I especially like that they have bilingual books for kids. Unfortunately, with them closing at 7:00 p.m. it's been tough for me to get here after work. Today I showed up a couple minutes before closing but they had already locked up. What a bummer. Wish they were open later.”
“Love this local book shop. They have a loyalty program and the staff are so nice! They helped me special order a book for my kids bday and were so thoughtful with the whole process. Support a local small business!”
“I purchased on eBay from you The Dynamite edition of Mission Impossible the Original Series DVD box set. Packed very well took me a little bit to unpack it and I love it thank you. I hope the Oakland library's enjoys my donation. When in Oakland, California I intend to visit your fine store.”

When I visited twice last month, the woman working was kind and friendly. I found two interesting books (including one featured here in the image) and a gift for a friend. Great place for book lovers!”
“Worth the trip. Curated and thoughtful selection of fine old and recent books. Science fiction and fantasy particularly good. After ice cream at Fenton's [same building!] browse and chat, and probably find a gem. I did find a gem: the Smithsonian gem catalog from decades ago, with the Hope Diamond on the cover!”
“Spectator Books has a fabulous selection of new and used books. The store has many little rooms and feels both welcoming and challenging since there are so many different kinds of books to examine. It’s very possible to literally spend hours reading and exploring in this delightful bookstore.”
