7 reviews for Bay Books
Bay books always has everything I'm looking for, and in this case it's the third book of the Twilight series. This has been impossible to find since the movie came out.
The pre-teen within me thanks you, Bay Books.
They never have the book I'm looking for. Ever. The ladies always seem like they are too busy to help even when they're standing around reading a magazine. Once they do help, they end up being very nice.
But if you're walking by and need to catch up on the latest gossip magazine or need a quick book to grab for the beach, it will do.
You gotta love independent bookstores! If they don't have it for you, they'll order it. Friendly staff and a great selection of books. I'm a local who shops here primarily to help support local businesses and I've always gotten what I was looking for.
You gotta give any independent bookstore their props. I mean, sure, this is the only place to probably buy a real book this side of the Coronado Bridge, but it's pretty cool to have a place that isn't some massively ginormous Barnes & Noble or Borders. Hell, at least this place has a better selection than that sucky Barnes & Noble on Friars Road. You know what I'm talking about.
I especially like their personal picks. Or at least liked, when there were more science-fiction/fantasy readers on their staff. They got me turned onto Richard Morgan and China Mieville. Their science section isn't half-bad either, and they sometimes stock books that I can't find at the Border's in Mission Valley.
Now if only they had a bathroom. Make sure your bladders and bowels are empty before you visit!
I'm a bibliophile, so of course, I frequent any bookstore within a reasonable distance of where I currently am (especially when I travel.) I love, Love, LOVED this place. It had a great collection, friendly staff, and it was well organized.
this bookstore is so cute. then again, i love all independent bookstores and could spend days inside. friendly staff.
this book store is my absolute favorite. people write stuff about the books they have read and have personal recommendations. this is the place where I would spend hours and hours on a lazy saturday.
