Im from out of town and found this place randomly next to my sisters house. I wanted to visit a local retro video game place and was surprised to find this place... Purchased several Japanese and American retro games and affordable prices. Books were used but were in amazing condition. You cant go wrong with the dollar shelves. Lots of great selection. Will definitely be back when I am in town.

Mask currently required. Good prices on most books and videos. Many anime related items. Polite workers

Great selection of older generation consoles. The prices though are on the premium side.

This place is awesome!! Great prices and a wide range of books. Lots of deals for $1 to $2.50 and up. They also have video games and a lot of dvds. Will deff be back, by far one of my fave book stores Ive been to in a while and will be going back for all my used book needs

A nice well-organized store, with loads of media and products spanning multiple genres and interest. I think a better name for the store would be Impulse, because your going to find something, buy it, and take it home, regardless if its a few bucks cheaper online.

Really enjoyed this spot. More than just new or used books!

Great place with great finds and an awesome collection of funkos manga and game systems

Lots of cool, rare stuff but all the good stuff is so overpriced. It seems like all of it just stays on the shelves too instead of getting bought up. So if you like to look at really nice overpriced things then it’s worth a visit.

Great selection of books! cheap and good quality

There were a variety of stuff there & Im definitely going back in the near future!!!! 🥴

Found a Bakugo figure Ive wanted for years at a really good price, so excited to bring my boy home!!

Love this store books DVDs and toys and they buy and sell everything there a few things u will find a little overpriced but not to bad

Definitely carries a wide variety of products. Didnt think the items would be marked up as high as I thought they would be. Didnt realize it was some sort of specialty general store that sold items at an extremely high price point. But now I know and only return for a specific item versus browning.

This place is known as a blockbuster videos with steroids. I love this place and all there great DVDs and more. Ive been shopping here since last year and Im always happy with everything I see.

Books, movies, manga, games, and nerd stuff...is this heaven?I got a very small haul, mostly for my kiddo

Bought a laptop here. Its been a sturdy little machine. Great place for cheap books, too!

I love it here, only for the fact its been helping rebuild my manga collection. Great place to just get second hand books in general

This place is my second home. Box set of hardback Divergent novels: $12. Hardback GoT novels: $8. Hardback The Help: $1. I love it here.

I expected something else frankly speaking. I was looking for a book for a gift but there are only used books. However, there plenty of books! Apart from that, not only used books are sold there. Youll find many used things for affordable price though.

Good for gamers and Anime collectors. But prices are a too high on old stuff.

2 stars for the music section because of the crazy mark up on anything cool.

Great place to find movies and TV shows for very affordable prices. You can also sell your stuff but I would not recommend it because they would buy it for dirt cheap since they need to make profit. Highly recommended if you are looking for Japanese and Korean Pop culture toys and literature. I could spend the whole day here.

An interesting place to visit. Never know what you gonna find here.

This is a awesome place, they have toys, video games, books, CDs, they have a lot if fun stuff, the people there are so cool and friendly. Really appreciate everyones support. Prices are really good. You can find a lot of good stuff, you can spend a lot of time there just looking at stuff. A+++++ store, its a must visit store.

Best place in San Diego for used books. I get both my manga and obscure cookbooks from here.

Fantastic spot that keeps the spirit of written art alive.

If you are looking for used and good finds on books, games, funkos and dvds look no more furthermore! Best place in town to find a treasure!

Nice place, been going there for a while and nice staff, just that some things can be pricey but you can get good deals here.

Awesome selection of whatever you degenerate weebs love and, in some cases, hate. Tons of figures, video games, table top games, manga, anime, including japanese imports, and speaker systems oddly enough. Pretty good prices on older games and solid pieces of eye candy hidden behind glass. Perfect place to find that niche you need to itch.

Always amazing service! I love this spot!

There is a good selection of a lot of cool items but some of the prices can be off. For example their used Blurays can sometimes be just as much or only a few dollars less than the exact same movie brand new unopened. Definitely look up prices online before you buy anything to make sure youre not overpaying for opened and used items.

Great place to get top quality used books, movies, game consoles, the games to go with them, tablets laptops and TVs!

Didnt have what I was looking for but I was still able to find fun books to read in Japanese.

I have always loved this book store. Theres always undiscovered treasures.

Fun Thrift Store full of books, Electronics, movies and such for any nerd or gamer. Wide selection of action figures and stands for different franchises. Prices are a little high for the electronics. Some of the used items are priced higher than the new ones themselves

Cool shop. Nice selection of collectables. Way over priced

I used to love shopping at book off... Unfortunately their prices have gotten so inflated. Ive literally seen them selling items for $40 when theyre at Walmart for 9$. I would recommend looking things up online before you purchase them.

Keep in mind I was only browsing. If you are looking for a cozy place to find a wide variety of product, from collectable figures and gaming systems, to dvds and a huge selection of books this is the place for you. No associates breathing down your neck to make a purchase and if you need anything they seem happy to help. Keep in mind alot of the books are gently used and there isnt a guarantee of finding a complete series, though you may just stumble across a gem. I do think it has charm. With lots of $1 & $2.50 options its super affordable to shop books. To my fellow readers: It definitely wouldnt hurt to give this place a try.

Nice quaint store with anime, Manga, figurines, video games, electronics, and lots of books!

Tons of books, videos, games and collectibles. Great collection of anime and Asian manga and videos. If you are willing to get lost in a book store to find what you are missing or discover something new this is the place for you.

Great place. Love their $1 deals on books! Some items might run a little bit too high to my mind (movies section) In general the place is good and clean. Staff is always polite. 👌

This place is really cool. Wall to wall books, DVDs, games, toys and electronics all second hand in both English and in Japanese. Lots of Anime. They also buy your used books and games. I honestly think they could use a bigger retail space with their huge inventory. Fun place to browse.

Its a big store with lots of books and games, when I first entered the first thing I saw was anime merchandise! I saw so many cool things, the had figurines, buttons, funko pops, games, Manga etc

Great anime/manga store. Im coming back here with few friends later on in the week.

Great selection of pre-owned books/movies and figures! Its always a nice place to pop by

They have some cool used books. They also have used video games.

Another used bookstore I enjoy. Missing the cozy, hole-in-the-wall bookstore feel I love. Nevertheless, a wonderful selection at impressive prices!

Lots of cool stuff to take a look at and we even bought some items. Problem is, it is pretty high prices in comparison to other place we have visited.

Nice place, but one of the employees werent very helpful when I was asking for specific help.. just asked me to find it myself and I had no idea what I was looking for. Too bad.

Nice selection but not that many Japanese phones and tec as use to be

They had a great selection of movies, and music. We never pay more than $7 for anything.

My grandson loves this store!

Such a lovely, unique place. Lots of manga as well as an entire isle of Japanese language books.

Awesome shop for manga and used electronics, love coming here they always have cool new items.

Love this place! Always fun to come in, even if Im just looking to see what they have. Almost always find something I really want.

Pretty neat place for japanese books music as well as just from comics and movies and electronics, you can buy and sell.

Great used book store with a wide range of products including books, games, collectibles, musical instruments, etc. They dont always have what you are looking for but its a great place to try and find an older book or item. Browsing is half the fun.

Loved it! Visiting from Arizona and I wish we had one out there

Store is awesome!Lots of manga, classics, and video games.I frequently spend way too much money here 😅.

Great place to buy games, NOT so great place to sell anything though, they will try to low-ball you on anything you bring in..

Only spot to find any sort of movie or rare item youre looking for. Absolutely love this store.

I bet this place makes a killing off profits. Books, movies, music, etc. I never thought I could buy all this for the price I pay! I love this place! And Ive never gotten an unfriendly cashier. I dont believe they have any.

We bought ipod nano but no one knew how much memory it had. When we got home & plugged it into computer, it wouldnt let us so anything cause the previous owner was still on it! All files, etc were deleted but Philips account was still there. Very disappointed cause we needed it for camp!

Fun place to comb around if you have time to dig. Great selection of PS4 games at better prices than Gamestop. Didnt find too many gems in the Blu Ray selection but this would be paradise for anime fans.

Im wondering if i could sell my Tokyo ghoul manga volume 1&2 for 20$ final price and there is no yellowing and has not been wet or burnt in any way.

One of the few places that actually still sells used movies, books, and movies to name a few!A hidden gem!

I haven’t been here yet but I was just wondering if you have anymore 1/6 scale ww2 figures from DID of dragon?

They have everything I want. Great staff

Book off staff went out of their way to find the book I needed when asked on the phone. I bought it later that day at an attractive price making a great birthday present. Thanks Book off!

Lots of selection and really good prices.

Cool book store i stumbled upon. Lots to see & find ♡ Pam, still Kellis mom...fighting for justice for Kelli

I love this store! Every time I go, I leave with an arm full of cheap books. You can find basically brand new books for just $5.50. If you are a big reader like me, skip Barnes and Noble and check this place out first. I just bought the illustrated edition of Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone for just $5.50. At Barnes and Noble this would have been lile $35 and on Amazon $27. And the book looks brand new!

This place is great. I buy and sell there regularly dvds,books,toys,cell phones. Prices are fair on both sides. If you are going to sell I suggest organizing your stuff only bring things that are in a condition you would buy and plan something to do while the estate takes place. They work fast but they do get a lot of sellers. I usually walk the store or go eat. Average time for me is an hour or two but I do bring a lot. Friendly staff with a Japanese politeness to them all regardless of their nationality

It was my first time there and I know Ill go again. I got a book that cost over $20 in a bookstore for $2 as used.

Love this place. You can always find great collectibles and books.

Its like gacha or mystery prize. Sometimes theres good stuff maybe even great but sometimes there nothing you want.Edit: spellingEdit2:spelling grammer.

This place is awesome alot collectable and great selection to of books.

Great selection of books. Nobody compares to the selection that bookoff offers

Its fun to search for movies and books here. I love that I airways find older movies you dont see in stores any more. I will always come back!

Awesome place to come every time for sure but yikes some of their items are overpriced. For example..I found the A Star is Born on 4K blu ray was priced at $44.99. Seriously? I found it on Amazon brand new for $24.99 and get this...I went to a different bookoff in Orange County and they had the same exact movie for $22.99. What gives! I only come here because my Japanese wife loves buying her books here.

Amazing items for the novice to serious collector.

The $1 books section is so cool! i saw a handful of good titles at a glance.

Great books for really low prices, and nice customer service!

Dont buy consoles they dont give you any cords lol

Awesome collection with affordable prices.

They have so many cool things I love books great prices, and you can sell them your books you dont need anymore the give you a wonderful deal for them. So much good stuff to buy at good prices.

Taste really good

Great selection of dvd, cd, games, anime, books, cameras, guitars, and more! Wow, lots and lots of titles and nearly every genera. Almost all items are used and at a great price with a excellent return policy if not working.

Great books and games and much more. Super cheap stuff to find.

Love this place. I can spend hours here.

Excellent toy store!

Great place to buy used manga and games for a cheap price.

My favorite place to find both English and Japanese books/CDs/ games! I could spend hours in this store, and everyone working there is always super friendly.

Alittle bit of everything plus great prices

Great deal on used books. I love to explore the shelves for books to read.

Great place to find used books, movies, games, manga and more. I have not sold anything there, but you can!Staff is knowledgeable and helpful. I love to just browse through specific sections, based on what Im in the mood for. Always finding unexpected treasures. There is a lot packed in this place, so expect to spend some time.If you are looking for new relases of every movie, this is not the place for you.

Great place for books, manga, and other random stuff. The books shelves are really well organized.

I always love going here, everyone is nice and helpful and knowledgeable

Awesome awesome awesome selection!

Great books, games, movies and records!
