Other patrons often leave bags of donations, so the shelves are stocked frequently. The store is well organized, with all the categories clearly labeled. The store is always clean and each item is clearly priced on the bag. There is a little of everything in this store, between fiction, non-fiction and children's books, as well as a decent selection of games. Along the front wall are a selection of coffee table and new(ish) books, and in the middle are tables with seasonal or topical books (including a table with President Jimmy Carter's biographies soon after he passed away). Most books are priced around $5 or less, and very few items are more than $10. On our last visit, my wife and I purchased 6 books and paid less than $30 total. There is a parking lot on site, and the volunteer staff are always very friendly and helpful.

They also buy! There's a nicely-stocked kids area, and clean bathrooms as well. Friendly service too. If you're interested in different editions (Easton Press, Illumicrate, FairyLoot, etc.), there's a special section, but sometimes they have them in the regular shelves. While the prices are certainly lower than retail for these editions, they are about on par with what you could find on eBay. Still, it's nice to be able to see and hold the editions first!

The owner is super knowledgeable he answers a lot of hard questions. Some books are a little pricey but others are low so it averages out. We left with 5 books. One was signed by an author. Another was a book that goes for $100 online and we paid $25 so we will be adding to our collection. Definitely worth coming!

I saw one review describing their place as "overwhelming." Agreed! It's delightfully overwhelming in the way that the abundance of information was discoverable prior to the linear arrangement of search engines. The collection of vintage vinyl is impressive as well, with easily the best old jazz and vocalist collection in the hinterlands of the East Bay. There are treasures to be found. Every hour spent browsing the stacks adds an hour to the end of your life.

Games are organized alphabetically, with clear sections for each manufacturer, making your hunt for your latest video game obsession as easy as possible. Staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, with a lot of knowledge on the games they're offering if you have any questions. Prices seem pretty reasonable as well! Retro gaming can get expensive. I wouldn't say Phoenix Games is a bargain, but they're definitely not out to nickel and dime you from my experience. Overall, I'm always stoked to stop by when I'm in the area -- whether just to browse, or because I have a specific title in mind.

So I'm guessing this location is gone. I think the closest one might be at the mall now. I'm a little sad this location is closed too since it was my preferred gamestop location in Concord.

This is easily one of my favorite comic shops in the Bay Area. Whenever I'm visiting family in the 707 I make it a point to stop by. Highly recommended for comic fans of all kinds.

They have a great variety of interesting books and puzzles that feel unique--definitely not the type of inventory you'd typically find at a larger chain like Barnes & Noble. One cool thing I noticed is that whenever someone purchased a puzzle, they'd immediately replace it with a different one from the back. This means the selection stays interesting and always changing, which is perfect for frequent visitors! They also had a small sale going on that day, which was a nice bonus. I managed to snag a few books about Walnut Creek that I'm really excited to dive into. Parking is super convenient since it's located in Ygnacio Plaza, so getting in and out is a breeze. If you love browsing for hidden gems or supporting local secondhand shops, I highly recommend checking out Book Friends!
