Welcome to First Street Books

Shopping locally and sustainably has never been more fun!

First Street Books is your friendly neighborhood bookseller, proudly serving the Kentfield community and book lovers everywhere. We're passionate about connecting readers with the books they love—whether they're brand new releases or treasured pre-owned gems waiting for their next adventure.

Our Story

Located in the heart of Kentfield, California, First Street Books was built on a simple belief: every book deserves a reader, and every reader deserves a great book. We're more than just a bookstore—we're a community hub for bibliophiles, casual readers, students, collectors, and anyone who believes in the magic of a good story.

Our shelves are filled with carefully curated new releases and quality used books across every genre imaginable. From contemporary fiction to classic literature, from academic texts to children's favorites, we believe there's a perfect book for every person and every moment.

What Makes Us Different

New & Used Books

We proudly offer both new and used books because we believe reading should be accessible to everyone. Our new books bring you the latest releases and bestsellers, while our used books give beloved stories a second life—often at prices that won't break the bank.

Every used book in our collection is carefully inspected and honestly described, so you know exactly what you're getting. We take pride in the quality of our used inventory and love giving these books a chance to find new homes.

Sustainability Matters

In a world of disposable everything, we choose to be different. By offering used books, we're actively participating in a circular economy—reducing waste, saving resources, and giving books multiple lifetimes of enjoyment.

We also practice sustainability in how we operate:

• Using recycled and recyclable packaging materials
• Minimizing excess packaging
• Supporting local when possible
• Encouraging the reuse and sharing of books

When you buy a used book from us, you're not just saving money—you're making an environmentally conscious choice.

Local & Accessible

While we're rooted in Kentfield, California, our online store allows us to share our love of books with readers across the country. We combine the charm and personal touch of a local bookstore with the convenience of online shopping.

Whether you're a neighbor who can wave to us from down the street or a fellow book lover across the country, we're here to help you find your next great read.
