Giant Book Sale

Stars are not a reflection of the business, it’s just that they either moved or went out of business.

If you like books and want a good deal, this looks like a great place. It opened in the space that Borders last occupied beside Sports Chalet, only this bookstore is locally owned. I believe it’s Pleasanton’s only ½ price bookstore. The books are new, not used. The staff was really friendly and laid back.
It’s not an easy time for bookstores right now, but I believe there are still a lot of people like me who want to hold a real book in their hands! What makes this one different is the great book prices and the café. The managers of the café, a husband/​wife team, have turned a lot of the floor space into a tutoring center. They teach adults and children piano and guitar daily, even if you just walk in. They’re mostly there after school. They also teach salsa classes!
There’s a lot of potential here if book clubs want to use it, toddler times, study groups, etc. I also love that it’s locally owned.
