B Street Books is an independent used bookstore specializing in both popular and collectable vintage books. Thanks to its central location, diverse inventory, inexpensive prices, and knowledgeable staff, this shop is a favorite among San Mateo book lovers. Browse through the novels to find a few beloved stories from your past, or try something new based on a recommendation from the staff. Thumb through some cookbooks to get ideas for dinner, or hunt through the biography section for a book about the life of your favorite public figure. And don't forget to bring any kids in your life in to browse the colorful and well-stocked kids' section.

B Street Books also buys used books, so if you've got a pile of books that you're never going to read again, bring them in with you and see what price the store is willing to give you. You can take your pay in cash, though regular sellers recommend choosing store credit if you know you'll be returning as a customer soon.
