What players say again and again
“So, he wandered to the book store and the staff were kind enough to give him a tour of the downtown including passing by the Steinbeck house!”
From the reviews
One of the best organized used book stores I've been in. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
I’m a son of Salinas, born and raised 18 years! Have moved away, but I love coming to this store every time I visit, and I just heard the most amazing story from a Czech friend who also visited. He was passing thru and wanted to see Steinbeck center as a big fan, but it was closed.
Wherever in the world I find myself if I see a bookstore I will stop and check it out. When I stumbled upon Downtown Book & Sound a few years ago I quickly fell in love. It's a winner based on it being a great space, friendly but respectful staff and a wonderful selection of new and used books.
The gentleman running this store is very friendly and plays the guitar beautifully. A nice place to relax and look for older books.
