Books on B

Very friendly shop & heartwarming! I love that I went in without thinking of buying anything. I found a book i’ve been wanting in person by gloo books for my daughter about Malaysian cuisines. It is a gem to find other than ordering online. It’s a very welcoming little shop. Would definitely visit again! 🙂

Oh how I love Books on B! The shop is small, but perfectly curated and adorably decorated. Renee is a GEM. One of the kindest people around, and she is just wonderful to be around. I stop in whenever I'm downtown and they're open to see what new nicknacks are in. She sources solely from local artists, and the dedication to getting quality goods shows! I also purchased one of the T-shirts she sells and it is SO soft and absolutely adorable.

Charming local bookstore with lovely owner, fun patrons, great selection and super prices. Nice selection of bonus item ( pins, cards, etc) besides books. Great location near municipal parking and Cookies if you happen to be in the neighborhood for other reasons!!

Books on B is the most charming little bookstore, and Renee makes it truly special. She is incredibly welcoming, and her thoughtful, above-and-beyond customer service makes me want to spend all day browsing the shelves. Renee helped my daughter complete her beloved Pigeon book collection—something she’s now very proud of! If a title wasn’t in stock, Renee quickly and happily ordered it for us. Recently, I made a big shift in my career path and asked Renee if she could recommend a book to help me prepare for the police written exam. After doing some research, she suggested an award-winning study guide with practice tests and ordered it for me. Thanks to her help, I studied it daily and passed the exam on my first try. Renee is truly a breath of fresh air, and Books on B feels like a cozy second home. We’re lucky to have this gem in our community.

Love Renee and the suggestions she offers! Great book store! A Hayward treasure!

Great selection of new and used books! The owner is super friendly and has good recommendations.

Renee is an absolute sweetheart, so kind and caring. 100% the best bookstore I’ve been to. It has a wide selection of books and priced at good prices as well. Definitely will be going again 🩷.
