Always love to browse there. Always find lots of books i want. Have no experience with the buying of books in the back. Love that they have free books for kids at the annual bookfair

Great store. Great selection and prices. Great staff. But they wont let you use their bathroom. They have a bathroom but paying customers arent alllowed to use it. It is a policy. Which doesn't make for great service or a very welcoming stay. Very illiberal and uncivilized for a town such as Berkeley, don't you think? They will let you use the public loo in a public parking lot a block away. You know, who else doesn't have a bathroom? Amazon. But I won’t need theirs when I next place my order with them instead of the small family owned local bookstore Id prefer to trade with but who don’t care one whit for the needs of their customers.

A heaven for book lovers. You can find older mainstream books at a bargain and rare books that are difficult to find online. I personally could spend days here browsing everything they have. Even though they don't specialise in collectibles you can find some hidden gems here and there. I've never found it crowded and it's a calm friendly place.

Nice place to buy books. Good collection and friendly staff. Not too crowdy.

I don't know. Half Price carries a wide variety of fiction and academic books. The Berkeley store has a good philosophy section. But you should contact them directly about such a specific question.

how do i search for a in stock books online for this specific location? (berkeley) When i attempt, it sends me through the national database & not this store? I would love to see books i'm looking for is available before making a trip there.
