The Book Place
Our used book shop at 1608 Grant in Novato is a popular destination for book lovers and bargain hunters. You'll find books in every category--fiction, nonfiction, cookbooks, children's books, collector's items and much more. You'll also find CDs, videos, and audiobooks. The shop is open seven days a week and has unbeatable prices, with books starting at just a quarter. We're staffed entirely by volunteers, and new members can find volunteer opportunities there, too. Call 415-209-0212 for information.

It’s time for another clearance sale! The Winter Clearance will be held the last weekend of January (27-29).

Replenishment will continue throughout the sale, so return to find more deals. Cash and check only, please.
