Books Inc. - Mountain View, California

I remember when this bookstore was on the corner and had a coffee shop upstairs. The bookstore relocated two doors down and is smaller with a niche feel. Cozy, charming primarily because of the books. The store does not have the browse feel.

What a lovely bookstore with a wide selection of books, for a wide range of audience from baby-toddler to adults.
We stumbled upon this one after our brunch at Crepevine across the road. The store’s atmosphere was amazing. It was so chilling and relaxing, with some background music.
There’s many sections organized neatly side by side, with some little notes on staff’s recommendation.
My baby enjoyed some toddler’s books, but he quickly got his attention on some jigsaw puzzles for 3 years old. We ended up buying 2.

What a delightful book store! It's so much bigger than you'd expect from the outside and chock full of great titles. Spotted brand new releases and great classic titles. Loved the staff recommendations table. So many options and they all looked fabulous! Friendly, welcoming staff made our visit a dream. Nestled among other shops and restaurants, this should be on your must-do list when in Mountain View.

Excellent local bookstore with a great selection, really nice staff, local vibe in a convenient location, and prices are decent. I enjoyed my time browsing here and didn’t feel pressured to make a purchase since I really didn’t know what I wanted. I left with two books! They have a decent selection of various titles separated by genre. They have many of the recent best sellers laying on display in front.

It’s not a very large bookstore, but large enough that you’re guaranteed to find something you like. They have little tables outside in front too where you could sit, read, and enjoy a cup of coffee while checking out the lively Downtown Mountain View area.

It's always warm and lovely to come here. I continue to come here and support the local bookstore. They have a sales section which has NY bestsellers even. Then there is obviously the Mountain View library that's very close in case a book seems expensive. Highly recommend this over very robotic experience of buying a book online even if it costs a bit more.

From cover to cover this bookstore has a book for every age. In between the pages they offer cute gift items: calendars, toys, stuffed animals, cards, pens and puzzles. Don't hesitate to ask the knowledgeable bookworm staff to locate/recommend a book or three. Read between the lines at the sale rack or the fine print on their public notices board for upcoming author talks. Make sure to bookmark this place in any chapter of your life.

They have varieties of books… I’d love to return again next time.

A dog-friendly bookstore with a range of cards, puzzles, gifts, and of course huge selection of books - they even have treats for your pup, would definitely recommend! 📚
