The staff took great care of me, I found plenty to browse through, and ended up grabbing several books I’d never seen before. It’ll be nice to go to everyone once in awhile for books I’d prefer to own!

Love this bookstore. They have a wonderful selection, will order anything you want and it arrives in record time. They coordinate with local book clubs and have regular guest speakers. They even have a local craft section.

Best book store ever! Ginger the cat is very lovable and isn’t afraid of toddlers. Speaking of toddlers this place is perfect for them(and adults) as it has lots of toys(duplo table, and much more). It’s the best bookstore ever!

This place is alright. I called in to check if they had a classic Shel Silverstein book, which they did and put it on hold for me. Check out was easy and they even have gift wrapping available. They had a fair amount of books but I live closer to Pegasus bookstore :)

After breakfast w/Alan and Tam I started to get into my car, which was parked in front of Orinda Books. Then I thought, «What are you doing? This is a bookstore!» and I closed up my car and went in. As I entered I heard the sound of a cat in animated conversation w/a patron. I approached and when the other lady left I held out my hand to introduce myself to the cat, who offered her head for a scratch. In the window had been a copy of «Lawrence IN Arabia» by Scott Anderson, which we had just finished for our book group. Good sign. There were the usual wonderful independent bookstore array of books, hard cover and soft. There is also music, which I didn’t explore. I didn’t linger long, as I had errands to run, but I did pick up a paperback copy of «Telegraph Avenue» by Michael Chabon, which had been well reviewed. The woman who checked me out was friendly and I was so glad I stopped to explore a little rather than hurrying on my way.

This is an Orinda institution. The staff are most friendly and helpful. I’m always able to find suitable books for gifts. And for myself, I ask them to order those books not in stock. They sponsor book clubs(with discounts) and lectures, often quite interesting. The layout is clear, so it’s easy to find an area of interest.

I would give it a 4 ½ if I could. Orinda bookstore is a nice bookstore with lots of books from A-Z I would like it more if I were not allergic to cats. Other than that it is a nice store with books for all ages.

Orinda Books is my favorite bookstore. A wide selection, a knowledgeable and friendly staff, and close to home. If I want a book it’s where I go.

Knowledgeable and friendly staff and a good selection are big pluses. The owner Janet is just incredibly smart and dynamic but all the ladies are well-read and make some great recommendations.

This small book store tucked away in a mini mall in Orinda near the library is a true gem. When my kids were in school this was my favorite place to go to find just the right books. Of course I always came away with something for myself as well because I got great recomendations. The staff there seem to have read almost everything in the store!
