2009 BEST OF SILICON VALLEY Reader Survey Winner - First Place

Best Bookshop Cat

When you walk into this bookshop, you'll be greeted by a friendly cat named Isbn, who makes his home between all the overflowing bookshelves. His fluffy presence adds zest to the altogether quaint bookstore. The shop's sister store along The Alameda in San Jose is nice too, but is often more crowded and has less of a personal feel to it than that at Recycle Bookstore West. Bookworms love this store because of the large selection and cheap prices. If you have books you're done with, Recycle Bookstore West will buy books from you or accept trades. (LF)
