Even in the new smaller space for Issues, the owners have been able to curate a diverse, eclectic supply of magazines, newspapers, journals, and books. I cant wait to see next months issues.

Its a great bookstore that offers something different. I discovered the Desert Oracle, a small sized zine about life and odd goings on in the Mojave desert. I saw an autobiography from underground cartoonist Robert Crumb. Theres Moleskine journals and seven year pens and a small vinyl record collection. Step in and discover Issues for yourself.

I love Issues! Its my happy place. Great little Used Book section, vinyl too. Really nice selection of new books- with a focus on music, art, film, fun stationary, a cool zine section and above all- the greatest selection of magazines in the East Bay for sure! Noella and Joe (the owners) are extremely knowledgeable and friendly people. Definitely check it out

The new place on Piedmont is much better, but recently when I made a special trip there, they had only about 4 cooking titles. Disappointing. Not sure if I’ll try again, when CVS has more.

A great selection of magazines, with numerous selections that you wont find in many other places. Friendly folks working there too. I really enjoyed this shop and Im only left with one question: who rated this place 1 star?

Great neighborhood zine shop! Excellent selection in a small and inviting store front. They also have local artists zines, cards, amongst other items. Its one of the shops that make Piedmont Ave home. *bonus, theres a great vinyl shop (stranded) right next door. Drop in and check them out, your guaranteed to come home with something new : )

Wonderful proprietors and great selection of magazines, books, and zines. You will find what you are looking for here!

They had the magazine I was looking for. The trip was a success

I like the variety of domestic and foreign magazines available at Issues. There isnt a selection quite like it anywhere else in the East Bay. I highly recommend a visit.

Great selection of magazines and friendly helpful staff.

This is the best east-bay newsstand by far. Great selection!

Extensive and varied selection of periodicals, arts, science, architecture, design, poetry, international.

Best magazines, most interesting book selections and vinyl

Great place to find foreign magazines.

Wide selection of print magazines from around the world as well as a curated selection of used and new books.

If they dont have what you are looking for, just ask and they will try and get it for you.

If magazines and news publications are what youre looking for, look no further.

They didnt have what I was looking for but the chick who helped me was super nice.
