Friends of the Berkeley Public Library

This used bookstore is right inside the ground level by the parking ramp. It is very clean, with wide aisles and does not feel cramped at all like some bookstores can get. Great variety of used books, broken down into various categories to make browsing easier. Most hardback seemed to be 2 to 3 dollars, but there are some 50 Cent specials and even ones that can get down to a quarter apiece. Right off Telegraph Avenue near campus so a great place to get a lot of books without spending much money plus supporting a great cause.

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!

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

Interesting and fairly cheap books
