East Bay Booksellers
Shops · Oakland, CA
About
You'll find the shelves packed with new books that somehow feel like discoveries from a beloved used shop. This Rockridge neighborhood bookstore started life as Diesel, A Bookstore. In 2017, the manager bought it with help from community members and renamed it East Bay Booksellers. The owner describes bookselling as a cultural good, and you can feel that ethos in the thoughtful curation. They also stock an ever-growing collection of imported stationery goods. It's a dog-friendly spot where regulars browse for hours.
Stop by on a weekday afternoon when it's quieter. Grab a new release or a curated recommendation you didn't know you wanted. The staff know their inventory well. If you're making a day of it, consider pairing your visit with a stop at nearby Good Vibrations for a very different kind of browsing.
