    One of my favorite bookshops in the world!!! They have the best comics, zines, graphic novels, and prints. Everyone there is super friendly and cool. Amazing selection of authors and artists. Silver Sprocket is the best

    A mini book w/ amazing illustrations made by a local? Not sure but I love stuff like this lol

    This place has so many graphic novels and comics for all! Even kids! The employees are really sweet, and there are even places to sit and enjoy the space. They even sell local and non-local artists' works. Items are decently priced, which is also a plus. Really enjoy the vibe in here. If I had the time, I would be in here for hours looking through everything.

    Eclectic and wide selection of comics, especially from queer and POC creators. It's so fun to get to walk by the shelves and check out what they have in stock.

    A comfy haven for queer and/or POC-centered zines, comics, stickers, posters, sweaters, and tees. They stock a diversity of authors, ranging from little known local submissions to Junji Ito, which always makes for a fun experience and constantly changing merchandise. The small seating area in the back is wonderful for browsing the selection, which is usually irreverent, leftist, and politically charged. Perfect!

    The Silver Sprocket is a Zine store with graphic novels and alternative press publications. Friendly and knowledgeable staff who are also authors and writers. I am in the process of putting out volume one of my memoirs of time abroad in India. Got some good tips from staff here. I also checked out some publications related to memoir and travel. They have some really cool unique publications here. This store is very DIY and punk rock. This store replaces 1-2-3-4 Go Records yet there Oakland branch is still open for music lovers. Zines and music make the world beautiful. Support local businesses!

    at first, i was a bit confused since i mistook this store for a walk-in shop and didn't know about…read morethe pickup deal. i didn't have an exact product in mind, but i settled on pokemon cards before the person in front of me was done. the man (or possibly owner?) was really helpful and engaged a lot with customers to make sure he knew what they wanted or what they were inquiring. im just a hobbyist card collector, so i didn't know what specific series of cards i was looking for, and he just suggested the cheapest ones, which were what i was going for. initially i was nervous and didn't know if there was a pack limit, but he clarified its just so people don't buy out the entire stock (which is very good for business, since it happens all too often at retail spaces!) even if you don't have an order or know the exact product to the precise detail you want, staff is very helpful in giving you options :) a nice place that id stop by every week if i were local!!

    Where do I even start? Husband and I were trying to get…read moresome cards. Never heard of this store so we decided to check it out. It's online order only and you can't go inside. The employee seemed offended that we didn't know the process and told us they did pickup only. Not once did he inform us on the actual website. Secondly the employee from the back came out to "answer" our questions, which he also was offended we were inquiring about a set that came out 6 weeks ago. He informed us we were "6 weeks late". He then proceeded to tell us incorrect information about the sets. Which feels was done on purpose. Pricing? These are scalpers, unauthorized resellers. These are the kind of people that weigh/scan packs and open all the hits. They were showing us set boxes with the shrink wrap missing, but were selling it to us at scalper pricing. (Meaning they weren't doing that thing were target rips open the shrink wrap so only collectors buy)

    This is a long-established Japanese bookstore that has been around since I first came to the United…read moreStates over 20 years ago. My grandmother and my aunt both loved this place. They spoke Japanese and received a Japanese education, so this bookstore always held a special meaning for them. The store carries a wide selection of Japanese books, magazines, Reader's Digest (Japanese edition), and manga. It also offers many adorable Japanese-style plush toys, collectibles, and accessories. You'll often see American teenagers who are passionate about Japanese anime and manga browsing here, which gives the bookstore a lively and welcoming atmosphere. I highly recommend this bookstore to anyone who loves Japanese culture, anime, manga, or simply wants to experience a little piece of Japan. 一家很老的日式書店,我20年前來美國就有的書店了,我奶奶和我大姑姑生前就很喜歡這家書店,尤其她們都會講日文也接受日本教育。這家書店也很多日本的雜誌、包括讀者文摘和日本的漫畫,這家還有很多很可愛亞洲風格的玩偶和飾品。平常有很多愛好日式動漫的美國青少年會光顧這家書店,我強力推薦給喜歡日本文化的各位。

Like you see more Japanese writing on the walls and signs. They also have a much larger variety of magazines and books here. As with all bookstores, they do sell a lot of plushies and toys here. Saw a lot of Pusheen stuff. There's also a lower level that's dedicated entirely to Manga. And it looks like a pretty huge collection. So I would say this location is maybe 40% reading books, 40% Manga, toys, and gifts and 20% magazines. Or, you can come visit and check it out yourself. There's cute things here worth checking out.
