I grew up going to Books Inc. in the 1990s back when it was at Stanford Shopping Center! Every time I visit home I go to pick up the latest books. A thoughtfully curated collection of books that expands my mind and whets my appetite for new ideas! I’m a science and history nonfiction junkie and Books Inc. NEVER disappoints (only my budget stops me from buying out the store!). I especially appreciate their selection of books about local nature! It is my honor to shop and support local. I cannot recommend enough!

Came here to support a friend who just wrote her 2nd book. Enjoyed the store. It felt like a book store. Not some large department store. Selection was good. Employees were polite and helpful.
