More About Bay Books
Our selection of books is unmatched;it changes daily as we buy their booksfrom our customers. About half of our books are new and the other half are used and rare.

Drop by and browse a whilein ourdelightful world of books.
Yes, our Concord location has closed after 22 years. It is sad but many small businesseshave closed because of the economy. We hope that you will do your part to support local businesses because for every $100 you spend at a local independent business, $68 willstayin the community. When you spend that same $100 at a national chain, only $43 stays in your community.
We are losing a lot of our small businesses and soon we will have only big box stores in which to shop. So please visit your favorite mom and pop stores often and keep them open.
