Reuse, Reduce, Recycle, Read Used Books

Call me a homebody, but nothing is as cozy to me as a quite Sunday spent wrapped up in a good book and my favorite blanket. There are those days when you don’t want to go anywhere, you don’t want to watch TV or a movie and all you want to do is escape. You might feel the need to add hot chocolate/tea/coffee or what have you to the moment, but I think you get the idea. Once you encounter those days all you need is a good book. Now, with there being so many books on this time and each of us only given so much time here it can be tough to find a book worthy of spending part of your existence on.  That’s where BookBuyers on Castro Street right here in Downtown Mountain View comes into the picture.

This store is great for a day of browsing or for finding your new favorite book at a reasonable price. Plus they also have comic books, dvds and periodicals that are always in great shape. Being that this is a used bookstore you are also keeping your carbon footprint down by reusing something that has already been printed instead of buying a brand new copy. Thus we learn here that used books are good for both the planet and your wallet. The customer service here is amazing.  Every member of their staff will go above an beyond to recommend something that very well could be life changing or just help you escape in the newest Jodi Picoult novel (don’t act like you don’t read them). But don’t worry, whether you pick up a Dickens novel or the latest by Picoult nobody will judge you. Well, maybe just a little.
