General info

In 1960, in the thriving Black business district known as the Fillmore, Julian and Raye Richardson were co-owners of The Success Printing Co. and avid readers. When friends didn't return their books, they realized the need for a Black bookstore. It was named Success Book Store. After reading Marcus Garvey's Philosophy and Opinions, they decided to change the names of their 30 year-old printshop and ten year-old bookstore to Marcus Books Printing and Marcus Bookstores, opening another store in Oakland, California.

  Gotta shop here if you havent yet! Wonderful selection of bookd, and beautiful art all around the shop. If youre looking for a particular item you can let them know on facebook, and sometimes they'll order it just for you!
