Welcome to Bay Books A leading independent bookseller in Contra Costa County
Our selection of books is unmatched; it changes daily as we buy their books from our customers. About half of our books are new and the other half are used and rare. Bestsellers in trade paperback size (larger than "pocket books") are our specialty. Our friendly staff always has suggestions for those who are looking for new authors. Drop by and browse a while in our delightful world of books.
Yes, our Concord location has closed after 22 years. It is sad but many small businesses have closed because of the economy. We hope that you will do your part to support local businesses because for every $100 you spend at a local independent business, $68 will stay in the community. When you spend that same $100 at a national chain, only $43 stays in your community.
We are losing a lot of our small businesses and soon we will have only big box stores in which to shop. So please visit your favorite mom and pop stores often and keep them open.

Linda says: Baking Cakes in Kigali by Gaile Parkin is a book about a woman living in Rwanda who has a business baking cakes at her home. Her cakes are quite famous and she really enjoys her work. I was expecting this to be light reading but it has more substance. It's a book I feel could be a good selection for book clubs- lots to discuss.
