A literary landmark on Berkeley's famed Telegraph Avenue. Four floors of new, used, and sale books. Come in or shop online at moesbooks.com.

Since its inception back in the heyday of the Beatnik era, Moe's Books has managed to become more than just a great bookstore--it has achieved the rarified status of a beloved landmark institution as well. Situated just four blocks from the University of California campus, Moe's has managed to mirror the often turbulent and triumphant times that have come to epitomize all that is exciting and unique about Berkeley.

Hi All,

Yesterday marked the end of an era - John Wong has retired. After 51 years with us, we will have to adjust to Moe's Books without him. Although he does not want to have a party, he will always be a part of our family and have a warm place in my heart. Life on Life's terms means that we must accept the nature of time - it passes.
