One our favorite bookstores when we are in Palo. Alto. Very nice selection and help is excellent.

Seems like a generic chain at first, but their selection is actually quite good and atmosphere is pleasant.

Bookstores are becoming a thing of the past. This one has a homey feel, but it's slowly caving in to commercialism as everything else here in the peninsula.

If they dont have the book you are looking for they can order it! Its kept me from buying on amazon.

Great selection of books. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.

A nice book store featuring a wide variety of titles.

My favorite bookstore! They always have the latest releases available and I really enjoy their curated tables. They also have a great selection of board books for kids.

The staff is super friendly, helpful and knowledgeable and you just can t visit this bookstore without finding something you want

One of the few remaining neighborhood bookstores. Buy something here and support them!

Friendly and helpful staff. Would highly recommend.

Much more than books! Greeting cards, post cards, toys, puzzles and more.

Visited Campbell and Palo Alto stores, I got an awesome customer service,
Thank You, keep it up!

Such a special shop. We received excellent service as well. We were just passing through, but I'd definitely go to this book store again

Love this Books Inc. store. Nice atmosphere and great customer service.

For a small place, it has a lot of books. Diversity of books. Lots of books on foreign food, language, and travel.
It has a section for kids books aswell. Parking its thigh and somewhat hard to find parking. It's a busy plaza.
Just came to visit from South California.

The cutest bookstore They have p l e n t y of books to read with both employee and customer suggestions on the shelf. They were also Covid-19 friendly with masks, gloves, hand sanitizer, and limited customers in the store. The employees wore masks and were really friendly/helpful while keeping a social distance. Will definitely be back and would chose to go here over the Stanford bookstore (I'm a student)

Great selection - what they don't have they can get quickly for you.

Just like the location in downtown Mountain View, this is a well laid-out bookstore with friendly staff and a great children's selection.

I always love meandering in Books Inc. Their top pick books are always fascinating, and the sale section always has a great selection.

I really enjoyed there curated books and their vast selection.

I really like this chain of bookstores. It's a great location for this one. The layout is sorta cramped though.

I came in with no gift. I left with one. Happy chappy.

Very helpful and knowledgable staff and the store itself is cozy. Their children's programs are also great.

It's a bigger store than the storefront suggest. Good selection of non book items as well.

A great little bookstore. My 3 year old daughter loves this place and it is a must stop when we are in Town & Country.

A great bookstore with helpful staff and a nice environment. They also frequently get authors to come by.

Books inc is the best! It s a small and cozy store with the latest and oldest books. They also have puzzles, games, water bottles, trinkets, Knick knacks, bags, and more. They also can wrap your purchase it it s a gift. Everyone is soooo nice.

I went to a book signing by author Christopher Paolini, was a wonderful experience. The staff was so helpful when I needed to pick up books for signing. They were very kind and knowledgeable.

Love the amazing selection of both adult and kids books. Not to mention the small unique gifts they have on different tables and hanging throughout the store. Very kind workers who seem very knowledgeable

Nice corner shop book store, good selection. If you like B&N, you'll like this smaller chain.

Great book selection, friendly staff and perfect ambience

It is far most my favorite book store. Staff are so nice.New book smell always makes me feel so happy and relaxed.

A quaint bookstore with a broad selection. Found exactly what I was looking for. Good for gifts. Friendly workers. (The last time I went here, I overheard a conversation where a worker tried to explain The Giver to a kid customer by saying it was about a boy who does magic ummm..).

Wonderful local bookstore. Helpful employees. Large selection of books for children and adults. Free gift wrapping.

Great little bookstore in an interesting shopping center. I like to support anything non-Amazon.

Great bookstore, with just the right mix of genres.

This store has a wonderful selection of books and the staff is very kind and helpful. Although my one issue was that they are sometimes out of stock and occasionally busy.

Great bookstore for children books. Love the wide selection of books that they have and at a great price

Local bookstore with incredible variety, friendly helpful staff and great finds! Books by local authors. The children's section is spectacular. Children's storytime every Sunday at 11:00 a.m.

Great kids section and very helpful and friendly staff!

Great store lots of inventory. Can order online and friendly helpful staff.
They gift wrap too yippee

Excellent book store. My #1 Place to browse for books. Very good parking.

What a wonderful little gem. Book stores seem to be dying a slow death yet this one seems to be thriving. The store is clean and easy to navigate. Will be back again soon.

My experience is largely limited to the children's section; however, every time I come to Books, Inc., I get advice from someone who actually read the book. How refreshing to get good and knowledgeable service.

The store is small, but it's packed with an excellent selection of books. My local Barnes & Noble doesn't have nearly the selection of interesting titles. The space isn't wasted with piles of best sellers. On one recent trip they had a display of Booker prize nominees.

Very nice store for family members of all ages. Helpful and friendly staff. And we just learn about their book bingo for kids!

A really good selection of sci-fi and fantasy books.

Absolutely LOVELY bookstore. We loved the selection, the staff, the attention to customers.

Found this place after shortly moving the area and instantly loved it. I am used to chain book stores and it was nice to find something that wasn't a Barnes and Noble. The selection was modern and up to date with a wide range of interests for any ready. I will definitely be spending a lot of time here.

Great store to fin any book you need and if they don't have it they can order it for you!! Stuff is very nice and always helpful to fin what you need!!

A great place to browse. All sorts of books. Photography albums too

Walked in didn't browse because that would be dangerous but knew what I wanted for my daughter, told the gentlemen what my daughter's preferences were and they introduced me to two books and my daughter is thrilled by them. One was science fiction which I didn't think she would care for and the other a thriller which she decided to read after the science fiction one. Go figure! Lovely place to get lost in!

Great book curation for kids! Super helpful and friendly :)

Love this store. Friendly staff and a great children s books section.

Delightful small bookstore, good choices well arranged and displayed.

Nice book store, a great choice of books and gift ideas.

A charming little book store with a good selection of texts on nature and science.
