That kind of behavior is unprofessional and wastes buyers' time. If you're going to make an offer, you should stand behind it--especially when a buyer is ready to pay. Based on my experience, I would not recommend doing business with this seller.

This place transports you to all the various fandoms. It's easy for my kids to get lost in the many aisles of comic books and graphic novels. Today they featured a young photographer who was showcasing his incredible talents! We were thrilled to meet the photographer and even had the opportunity to purchase one of his prints! Love this shop and how they make it so easy to support small business!

You can never be too safe. You're greeted at the door and someone's always there to say hi and or help you for whatever you're looking for. I usually head straight to the back since that's where the comics are. Once done, I head to the left side of the store where there's someone ready to bag and board your comics for you. I just signed up for their membership and not sure what it entails but since I go so often, made sense to get it. They have a beautiful selection of comics for the right price and you won't have to question if it's above MSRP. It's pretty convenient to visit if you're checking out the rest of the plaza.

Cute and bustling shop in downtown Mountain View. We stopped by on a Saturday evening, and it's fun…read moreto see literary being promoted. Staff are helpful and friendly, so ask away. Pretty good recommendations in the small manga section they have. Some series that have anime adaptations so it's a good balance for people who aren't super dipped into the otaku world yet, like Demon Slayer being recommended, and also some peak, like Kaiji. There's a children's section too with some plushies and lots of recommendations throughout. There's a wall at the front with events that they have, community resources, and much more. Not bad.

I love the neighborhood bookshop atmosphere (including the warehouse sales that B&N doesn't have), and the staff are kind and helpful.

When I mentioned the price on TCGplayer they responded with "It shouldn't be that cheap, must be an error" and I immediately walked out. I was not about to pay 2.5x the market price for some cards that'd fill out my collection. Despite the fact I hate waiting for TCGplayer and haven't had a great experience with them overall, I'd much rather go through them than support a business that seems to scalp and price gouge. Would rate this place a 0/5, but unfortunately that isn't an option

My wife and I road trip across California at least twice a year, stopping at every local bookstore…read morewe come across along the way. After visiting dozens across the state, we know a great bookstore when we see one. Leigh's Favorite Books is hands down one of the best we've ever been to. The store has a fantastic selection of books and is very well organized, which makes browsing easy and enjoyable. I always love seeing staff picks in bookstores, and this place had plenty across a great variety of genres. They also offer a book buyback program for store credit, which is a fantastic option for readers who prefer to keep their shelves from overflowing. They also carry used books at discounted prices. I personally love used books because they have character, and the bindings are already nicely broken in, which makes them even easier to read. Leigh's Favorite Books also earns our unofficial award for the best non-book inventory of any bookstore in California. Most shops carry the usual boring gift-store items, but this place had a genuinely fun and unique selection. They had such a fun assortment of random items that we wanted to purchase just about everything they had lol. The service from Becky was exceptional. When I mentioned that I read across many genres and especially enjoy biographies, she personally recommended one and even wrote the title down on a sticky note for me. When we talked about our road trips visiting bookstores, she also suggested a trip to Vermont, where you can get a bookstore passport stamped along the way. She was incredibly friendly and great to talk with. We can't wait to come back and pick up more books.

A therapeutic setting, with alluring decor and even a beautiful fountain sculpture near the back. I purchased a gratitude tree and zen gong before leaving, and service was fast and friendly. A great experience overall.

Fortunately, it's a spacious store with room for everyone. It's also nice that there is a dedicated parking lot in the back, again with enough parking for everyone. I went there looking for a specific Miffy keychain, but the Miffy goods were picked over pretty good and they didn't have it. Ended up leaving with two books, a journal, two chocolate bars, a reusable shopping bag, and a Miffy blind box. It was a pretty good shopping spree.
