BookSmart is the passion of Brad Jones and Cinda Meister, a husband and wife team. Together for many years and business people for over three decades, they have parlayed their experience in the hospitality and retail industry into a successful and enduring book and toy store business. Booksmart is in its 17th year and looking to the future as we hope to make BookSmart aregional name in Northern California.

BookSmart started as a small general bookstore with coffee service and ice cream. We are now a 7500 sq. ft. store (MH) and a 5000 sq ft store (SJ) which fills many retail needs including; books and educational toys, greeting cards, magazines, coffee, ice cream, candy, and café food items. But the most rewarding thing is that BookSmart has become a popular 3rd place for locals. We work with local school districts and the home schooling and private school markets in order to source books and classroom products for schools around the Bay Area
