A rare treasure of a bookstore, with a history of community service and a wealth of African American authors. It's the go-to bookstore for knowledge of authors you want to read and warmth of community. I love patronizing this place!

My favorite place to buy books. I spent many years buying and hanging out in the SF store until they closed. Now I buy my books from the Oakland location. Marcus books has such a warm atmosphere, great service, and an incredible selection of books by Black Authors. I love it!!!

Oldest Black bookstore at least West of the Mississippi and probably in the US. A treat for readers of all ages. One love!
