I have been a customer of the Fremont branch of Half Price Books for several years now. Because of…read moretheir extensive selection of books I have been able to read many hard to find books for a reasonable price. I have also ordered from them online with the same positive results. I have also sold many books and other items as well. They do not pay very high prices for the objects. I would check prices before selling there. However, the convenience (they take a very large range of items) can be worth it on its own. They can save you time by not having to try several places that may reject the items because they don't fit their exact customer preferences. Half Price Books is willing to take a lot of items because they are large enough to find a buyer. Finally, I have always found the staff to be friendly and helpful every time I have been there so far.

I wish I would have looked at these reviews before my dad told me he had hired them to produce his…read moreCD. As these reviews suggest, there was once a woman who worked there that was apparently great with graphics design. My dad heard from a friend of his about this woman's design work. We would find out later that this woman was no longer with Isomedia. The man you should avoid is named Greg. The project was a disaster! Panels were on the wrong areas, a barcode ended up being placed over a band member's face, and to top it all off, THE CDS DID NOT HAVE AUDIO! Kee was our design artist. When this person sent over proofs, it did not include a barcode but green lines over one of the band member's faces. I, of course, emailed them about my concerns, Kee said the green line was just a template line and the red line was where the paper would be cut-the proof didn't even HAVE a bar code. On January 23rd, I approved the proof after Kee told me the green lines would not affect the final product. On Feb. 3rd, I got notice that the project was done and my dad called me to tell me of the mistakes, including how the cds didn't have audio and the pictures were wrong. Greg would later email and call me to drag the process along. He would tell my dad he would call him back and then wouldn't for days. Once I made changes to the design myself to make room for the barcode in good faith they would be fixing it, Greg called me to inform me that because I changed the project I would be charged again. After I explained it was not a mistake on my part he got his cds back, and we're asking for our money to be returned. This has been very stressful, so our lawyer will be the one to have to sort it out if he doesn't respond in a timely manner. I've included a screenshot of the proof I approved and the product we received. It should have been a simple redo, but either the company is broke (since they clearly don't want to lose more money even though it's clear they were in the wrong), or Greg is running all of the business himself and is drowning. Either way, we will be reporting to the Better Business Bureau. BEWARE and keep everything in writing because you will need it!!!!

Can't speak for the whole company but I personally had a TERRIBLE experience and REGRET using…read moreISOmedia to print my CDs. First of all the turnaround time was FOUR MONTHS! And then even after that there were problems with my order. And the person I was dealing with would barely return phone calls or emails so I had to spend so much time just calling and trying to catch him. And now, 5 months later, they charged me even more money to supposedly fix the original problem and it didn't work. And to this day I spent so much money and never received what I paid for and they REFUSE to refund any part of the money I spent. Very disappointing!

It opened originally across the street in 1955 by conscientious objector Roy Kepler. He had ties to and thought along the same lines as Lawrence Ferlinghetti, the founder of City Lights Books in San Francisco.

Since Chinese painting and calligraphy are among my favorite hobbies, Soyodo has always been a meaningful place to find traditional Chinese painting supplies and guidebooks esp for maobi, painting flowers, landscapes, and ancient figures. I really appreciate that they also carry crafting supplies and classic Chinese literature, not just generic art books. Everything here feels rooted in tradition and care. The store also offers novels, children's books, Chinese New Year decor, vases, and small toys, which makes it feel like a cultural space rather than just a bookstore. On top of that, the pricing is very reasonable. I've even found books for as little as $2-4, which makes browsing and discovering new reads even more special. The owners are an older Chinese couple who are quiet, reserved, and genuinely kind. One of the things I cherish most about Soyodo is how peaceful and calm the store is. It's the kind of place where you can slow down, browse without pressure, and feel grounded. Stores like this are rare and I truly hope Soyodo continues to thrive. If you value culture, tradition, and supporting a small family-owned business, this is absolutely a place worth visiting and supporting.

We're from SoCal and we're visiting family nearby. My girls LOVE K-Pop so this was a must stop…read moreshop. We came on 12/26/25 and when we walked in we were immediately curious about all the fun treasures we'd find. We saw the life size cardboard cut outs up front and snapped a quick selfie with RM, my ultimate bias! Talk about a score within the first few minutes, so I had a good vibe about this place from the jump! We took a quick lap around the periphery of the store and then worked our way to the middle. There was LOTS to see and the vast majority was official merch! Heck yes! We saw several albums, photo cards, light-sticks, keychains, bracelets, plus more. My girls were having a field day trying to narrow down what they wanted to go home with. I could see the K-Pop happiness in their little faces. There was a Photo Booth area near the front and a table and chairs for peeps to sit while their loved ones looked around the store. I saw a handful of shirts and some signed items. I had to help my girls make final decisions on their items because they were too excited with the overstimulation of K-Pop items. We purchase 8 items total from BTS, BabyMonster and Stray Kids. We walked out with a BTS light stick, some albums, a Stray Kids Karma pop up Seungmin puppy bracelet, a Hyunjin keychain and 6 lomo (business) cards for $253.66. The prices actually seemed fair and you can't beat the instant gratification, but we had to contain ourselves because we wanted to purchase more. I can totally see us coming here EVERY time we visit family in San Jose! Seungmin and Hyunjin are my daughters biases! The staff were helpful and answered all of our questions with a smile on their face, so that's a plus. One employee let us know he'd open the light-stick to check that it worked because light-sticks were final sale. He brought over some batteries, turned it on and showed us how to use it. Very kind of him! This K-Pop store was a fantastic find! When my girls are happy, I'm a happy Mama and feel blessed to give them what they want, not just what they need. K-Pop for the win!
