Could spend hours here, could go down a million rabbit holes. Wonderful selection of both new and used books - felt I picked up exactly what was needed in the moment. Very friendly, very lovely, absolutely recommend stopping here - metaphysical and Buddhist selections (Jung as well) off the charts.

Great place for used books and some new, plus gifts. I had a long list of book recommendations, and I was able to find 2 out of the first 3 books on the list!

I am really hesitant to write this review as I really want to support my local bookstore but I really had a difficult experience with a book I had pre ordered and had been hotly anticipating. It’s a long story with many details I’ll spare, but I think what really cements the poor experience is just unfriendly staff. I finally did get the book 11 days later the expected date. When I went to the store to check in on it, I was abruptly cut off and told to look in the front. I wished to clarify if it was the standard or deluxe edition as initially ordered and I was again abruptly directed to the front. I never received any final notice that my book had indeed arrived and was met with really cold and uppity staff (this book is romantasy genre). I am bummed to report I will be taking my business elsewhere.

Nicely managed relatively large store, convenient location, the car parking spot might be a headache. I wish this store had at least one computer for customers to use. Also, the saddest part is this store was almost empty. Need to find the new way to attract more people to visit this nice store.

Loved it here so happy I stopped in! They have a little of everything and the pricing is so good for used books. I bought 3 books, if I didnt need to leave for another event i would have been here hours honestly and would have def left with more books! I live in Palo Alto but next time I'm in Berkley I will def be making time to stop by! Staff was helpful and polite and it was just an overall nice vibe

We dropped into Pegasus books on a whim and were not disappointed. The store is open and inviting. Staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable. New and Used books both are available in this store. There was a section for everyone and every genre. If you are looking for Leather-bound or older books you will need to do some digging but all part of the fun.
