Friends of the Berkeley Public Library

Amazing place. I loved how you can get books for 1-3$ and they were books that I wanted to get before. Good: - Staff all seem to love what they do! Super kind people - Great value and you won't beat this - Books are all in pretty good condition so it's super worth going and helping support the public library - So much variety - from different genres to formats, this place has it all Bad: - Some of the books are in more shabby conditions and feel dirty but it's not most of them Overall this place is amazing, I'll be back!

Gotten lucky and bought some uncommon books / textbooks in my field from here for $2-3, that would have been $50+ to buy elsewhere used. Love coming here to see what types of books they have, that you would not find stocked at a large or mainstream bookstore.

Absolute best prices of any used bookstore in the east bay and benefits the public library! Most books are $2-3. Mass market paperbacks are usually $0.50.

Got 3 classic books for $7. Very cozy feel to the place as well. This store is a bastion for the avid, and cheap, reader!

Interesting and fairly cheap books

The staff was very helpful. I enjoyed speaking with them. Easy to donate used books and DVDs. This is a great place to visit.

I went to this book store with my mom. I'm not into books, but my mom is a big reader. I think all the books are donated or they bought. My mom bought three books, just for $4.50. Really cheap books. That's my 5 stars.
