I am so happy to see a Barnes & Noble close by! This bookstore is huge with plenty of things to…read morelook at. I feel like you can easily spend a lot of time here just browsing all the different areas. I definitely got lost a couple times but figured out my way after a while lol Barnes & Noble is so much more than a bookstore, should definitely visit if you have some time to kill or just want to walk around and be amazed by the inventory lol

Review #1,003 Posted on 2.26.26…read more We come here anytime we come to this shopping center in Dublin. Most recently we came on Valentine's Day in between dinner & our movie. In what honestly feels like the only Barnes n Noble left in the Bay Area, this place stays packed, every time I've gone in here it's busy. They've got a huge selection of books & mags obviously, other products to buy as well. That can range from Lego sets you don't see in the stores, puzzles, kids toys, other book related novelty items They've also got a coffee shop on the right that's always got people sitting and eating/drinking at, a nice feature for when you come in you can grab a cup of coffee and a bite to eat too. That's where most people who want to chill and read go to. They've also got a super knowledgeable staff here too, which for my money is always really helpful.

Nice little indie store, which is always a welcome sight when it comes to books. Great selection…read morewith knowledgeable and friendly staff. If they made merch, I'd buy it!

I've lived in Pleasanton for over 20 years and can't believe I hadn't reviewed Towne Center books…read moreyet! What a gift this establishment is to our community!! Whether you like to read or are looking for the perfect gift, this shop is an absolute treat in every way. The people who work here are so knowledgeable about books and scan always recommend the perfect novel or nonfiction based on a description of your preferences. It reminds me of the days when there were neighborhood video rental shops before Blockbuster and Netflix. You could walk in and describe what you were in the mood for, and they would find you the perfect film. Towne Center is this for books!! And they gift wrap for free!!! Why go anywhere else!?! Support our community and patronize this wonderful shop.

You'll notice how eager they are to help you obtain the book that you're looking for, whether they have it in stock or not, they will hunt it down and get it for you. I love coming here, grabbing a latte and then just browsing and discovering new things.

We had the pleasure of shopping here earlier today. The bookstore has a nice, easily accessible…read morestreet parking as well as a dedicated lot- so parking was no problem. The store itself is huge! Way bigger than it looks from the outside. The staff is kind and eager to help- they remind me of the skilled staff at bookstores back before the internet decimated the industry. But it is nice to see some bookstores surviving and even thriving. The selection of books was great- I came looking for 3-4 random books, including kids books- and I found them. One of the books was not available at any local library. The pricing was very fair for the area and the fact that it is an in store experience- and you get the enjoyment of browsing their large selection of titles. Btw they have a friendly cat. He sleeps a lot like most cats but is nice. I highly, highly recommend this business. Easy parking. Great selection. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Good prices.

This bookstore is awesome!! I can't believe I've never been here until now, though I have visited…read morethe Campbell location. First off, I love the political signs posted on the windows, like the "everyone is welcome here except ICE". When I walked in, the store looked exactly like what I've always envisioned a cozy community bookstore to be like--filled to the brim with books and with a lot of character. I came here to sell some books and it was pretty quick--I had probably 20-25 books and the employee finished in less than 10 minutes. As I was waiting for my books, I walked around exploring. I was very impressed with the selection of fiction. There were actually quite a bit of new releases, but also older books and editions that I would likely not find at a corporate bookstore. If I had the time, I'd love to spend 1-2 hours here just browsing. I didn't expect to get much money for my books; I was actually going to donate them and didn't realize that they still buy books, so their offer was ok. I was moreso pleasantly surprised that the employee was so nice lol, and also a little chatty. Honestly the last time I sold books was probably 15-20+ years ago at Half Price Books and I remember they were always pretty rude/standoffish lol. In addition to the service, the atmosphere, and the book selection, the cherry on top for me was that they have a special shelf where you can buy a book there for 50% off for them to donate to the library at Elmwood Correctional Facility at a bit of a loss for the store. I used most of my credit from the books to get a Stephen King book for the library.

This is a cute little (tiny) bookstore. I've been here before (review in 2023) and really love the…read moreselection here (especially for how small it is). My last visit was just ok. The employee working wasn't very welcoming. I don't need a ticker tape parade when I walk in, but a simple hello would be nice.... especially since this space is so small and it feels a little awkward when you walk in, and the other person in the small space doesn't even acknowledge you. I did pick up a book I'd been looking for and was happy that it was also a signed copy! They have a box of ARCs you can take from if you make a purchase, and I did want to grab one, but I felt awkward because of the lack of engagement with the employee. I'll be back to visit again, because it is a cute little spot and they do have a great selection. Hopefully, the next visit is more like my first visit.

Each section was clearly marked, and we both found books to take home. I also found a children's book on the sale table outside. And along with our purchase, we were each able to take one Advance Reader Copy for free. This is a wonderful addition to this shopping district, and there is plenty of free parking in the area.

However, the concrete floors are terrible for your knees if you are trying to get a book on a lower shelf. They have a few cashiers and workers in the back.

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!
