Editorial Review for Dave's Old Book Shop – by Tracy Johnson
In Short
Purportedly the largest used bookstore in the South Bay, Dave's is home to more than 40,000 books. The shop, in business since 1994, is known for its phenomenal collection of paperback mysteries. A walk through this neatly organized store is infused with the comforting smell of old books. Whether it's a storybook by Dr. Seuss, a biography on Princess Diana or a lurid dose of pulp fiction, Dave's has it, had it, or may be getting it soon.

I have been going to Dave's for years because it is pretty close to my house and the only bookstore around that is not Barnes & Noble or Borders. But I keep going back because of the quaint environment and neighborhood-ness of the store. They don't always have what I am looking for but browsing is fun and I always happen upon good things I never would have thought of otherwise. There is a art book section and rare books section behind the counter as well. The poetry section is a little lacking though.
