Re: “Owl & Company Bookshop

The phone number is wrong, it is 510.788.5821. Also, it is NOT a "little" shop but the largest by space and titles on the Avenue and one of the largest used bookshops in the EAST BAY, COVERING ALL SUBJECTS. Also the web page is down now but will be back up soon.

You can see a short video of the shop at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EC_WdLmMbc

Re: “Walden Pond Books

Sure, they have a great politics and labor studies section, but I can't say enough great things about their science fiction and mystery sections. I guess that shows where MY tastes lie. Whenever I need a great fiction read, I head for Walden Pond. They must buy and sell an awful lot of used fiction because their used shelves constantly have books that weren't there the last time I checked. And I'm there every weekend.

They also seem to always have the exact NEW book I had just read about in the NY Times or the Chronicle. And when I've asked for a suggestion, I've been steered towards some of the most wonderful reads that I'd never heard about before. The people who work here LOVE books - and they know their books. THAT's what gets a book store 5 stars!

Re: “Diesel, A Bookstore

If they don't have it they will order it for me. Who needs Amazon?
