Super awesome bookstore. Great selection of both new and used books and of any genre. The only gripe I have is with the rare book section. It seems to always be closed when I get there and the hours are very limited (hours which I can’t seem to get to).

Small independent bookstore. Has a unique selection of books and local works of art and crafts for purchase. Seems very queer friendly

Loved this bookstore. They have a TON of options ranging from new releases to collectibles. Everything is very nicely organized so you can easily head to a specific genre that you’re looking for. The staff are super nice too, and they sell HOT DOG BOOKMARKS which was an amazing little find.

Great place for books though I think I've been buying mostly vinyl albums there these days. Just popped in today and they're selling board games now too. (Insert shut-up-and-take-my-money meme here)

This is one of our favorite neighborhood bookstores, and they offer so much across a multitude of genres. They can also order books for you if they don't have them in stock, which is handy. They have comics, boardgames, and fun gift items as well. The staff are always friendly and helpful too. I highly recommend you visit!

Waldon Inbox J  JOANN SKYWATCHER to me 3 minutes ago Details Waldron Ponds Books This is a very cool bookstore that originated in the early 70s, and is Oakland’s largest independent bookstore. They will be starting to buy and trade books again this September. Besides books they carry LP records, greeting cards, and They sell rare and collectible books on eBay. Ambiance ***** If you have never been in a bookstore, you owe it to yourself to drop in and check out their scene. I love how much there is to explore. There is a large collection of masks above the books on the west wall. The wooden floors actually creaked when I walked in reminding me of some really old libraries. If you’re into really old books, you might want to check out their Rare Book Room upstairs. Service***** They have a very friendly staff ready to locate what you need. Accessibility ***** Cost****
