It's very nice and comfortable despite it's small size. I don't recommend coming if you're searching for manga or graphic novels though.

One of the best bookstores I’ve been to! I love the homey feel of it and how welcoming the environment is. They have a lot of cute trinkets as well. Please check them out!

This bookstore was very cozy and everything here looked intentional and of high quality. What they have displayed are their top picks, rightly so for the popularity and wide variety of topics that they focus on. Walking around the area, book lovers would be hard-pressed to find a reason to not walk into this store to peruse.

When a company deals with the general public, especially a bookstore that can generate many conversations, your customer service rep should at least acknowledge you are in the store. Always looking to support local bookstores. This guy behind the counter never said one word. Not one, "how are you, welcome in, are you looking for a particular book, what do you enjoy, what are you reading now? " Nope, not a word. Even walked by me like I was a ghost. No eye contact. I saw my reflection in a window so I was not an apparition! If it's too much of an effort to say "Hello" then I'll take my business elsewhere. It's a shame because this place looked stylish, classy and original.

Cozy bookstore. I loved that they have a small basket of used books near the counter as a 'Blind Date with Books' section where the books are wrapped and labelled with Genre and a small summary of the themes in the book!

A fun and popular new and used bookstore. Leigh's has a good selection for a smaller, independent bookstore. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

Really cozy bookstore in the middle of Murphy avenue (and Sunnyvale downtown). Store staff is really kind and helpful. Lots of different genres to choose from. Both used and new books are available and the quality of the used books are really high quality; they are as good as new. The store also sells stationary and stickers and badges and other such trinkets but they are on the expensive side.

It's pet friendly. Helpful staff helped me find an affordable used copy of a Hank Green book and if you return your books by a certain date you get half you money back to buy some other things from here! Pretty sweet deal considering I'm a super slow reader and can never finish library books

The selection is thoughtful and thorough. The person who runs the store is super duper sweet and I'm glad to finally have been able to come in. Give your business to this store!

A quaint little bookstore with a great selection of literature. This is my shop of choice should I need a new book, a journal, greeting card, or small gift. Additionally, they offer free gift wrapping for any purchase.

I love this bookstore. It's one of the very very few bookstores which sells used books alongside new ones. It might be small but they always have a great selection of books. I find it hard to resist not buy a book when I'm here!

Cozy atmosphere, helpful staff, and a great selection of new/used books and fun gifts. Definitely worth browsing as they have a ton of hidden gems & recommended titles on the shelves.

This little book store and the attached kids gift shop are super adorable. We wanted to get a couple gifts for 1 year olds and found some really nice stuff that are not very Amazony.
The book store also has a 50% buy back for some books and it’s awesome.
Love the collection of books, stickers and other little trinkets.
The shop owner is super friendly and helpful!
Definitely recommend!

So nice to find a well-stocked independent book shop with a friendly and warm atmosphere in our new community.

This place might be small, but they have a great selection of books (new and used) that keep me coming back for more. I've seen a lot of small bookstores carry very limited selections of science fiction and fantasy, but this place has a good amount. They do special order if they do not have the item in stock (as long as it is available from their distributor) so there is that option. The staff is friendly, and very helpful. Definitely a bookstore to enjoy some time in, and get lost in the stacks.
