Downtown Book & Sound

Salinas, CA

Indigenous-Owned Woman-Owned

We welcome you to visit us in Downtown Salinas - the historic center for arts culture and cuisine located in the Steinbeck District of town. We are open 7 days a week for a convenient and comfortable book browsing experience between 11am and 8pm. We feature gently used and new titles in a wide variety of genres - over 60,000 books for all ages and interests. Downtown Book & Sound is also a big fan of music, hosting “listening opportunities” every week, plus a carefully curated section of vinyl, great selection of CDs and even cassette tapes. If we don’t have something you want in stock, we can order it for you - fast! Reading is an important pass time - it helps people to unplug and slow down. We look forward to seeing you and providing for your reading and listening needs. Thank you for shopping 'outside the box', we look forward to seeing you at Downtown Book & Sound soon!
