Book Barn is a used bookstore in Clovis, not too far from my house. I don't go there very often,…read morebut on this recent trip I had a pleasant experience. I was welcomed when I walked in and asked if I needed assistance, which was nice -- although that friendly greeting hasn't always happened on past visits. I was looking for Louis L'Amour books as a gift for my husband, and they pointed me in the right direction. I also browsed through the kids' section for a bit, though I didn't end up finding anything this time. Overall, it's a 2 story shop with lots to explore. Worth stopping in if you enjoy the hunt for used books.

The service is amazing!

It's always friendly and helpful. The selection for psychology and philosophy is the BEST, better than a handful of libraries I've experienced in Fresno. The value is the BEST in town as well. I always spend $5.50-7 for a book. This is legit my favorite place! The most time I spent here was 3 hours! I love the square, walk around, upstairs- the showcase, the furniture & few chairs to read before purchasing. I love the atmosphere of this place. I will forever patronize here, as long as I'm in town or visiting.

There is also a section of a few newer releases. I love buying used books!

After going to Powells in Portland, I've been wanting to do a local bookstore tour of Fresno so I…read morestopped by Hart's Haven. Hart's Haven is no Powells, you won't have to browse for hours. It's very small (about 500 sqft, 2 rooms of books) with a jazzercise studio in the back. They have nice antique settees in both rooms. $2 for paperback and $4 for hardcover. The guy in the front was very kind. Since they have a jazzercise studio in the back, I think they should do speakeasy events there for book lovers since they have a nice enclosed parking- Bridgeton High Tea..., twilight dinners...A You marathon... Hunger Games costume party.... crafting with books.. I've never read Twilight, but since I was just in Oregon, I have to read or watch the twilight series now, but they did not have the book. They take donations so if anyone wants to donate twilight, lemme know! I had exactly $6 cash so I got myself a C.I.A. cookbook (Culinary Institute of America) because I collect cookbooks. Anthony Bourdain, Roy Choi (I ate at his restaurant, Best Friend in Las Vegas) & Grant Achatz (I dream of one day eating at his Michelin Starred restaurant, Alinea in Chicago) graduated from C.I.A. I also got a brand new paperback from Target- Love, Naturally. I am a little behind on my reading because life has taken me on a hell of a ride this year.

The prices were very…read morefair ($2 for paperback, $4 for hardcover unless otherwise marked), and there is a decent range of genres (mystery, historical, sci-fi, etc.), though you shouldn't expect to find a specific book you had in mind.

I have been to Barnes & Noble's before previous cities, but not here in Fresno County. I decided to make a pitstop here because my family wanted some calendars for the house and what they had in other stores is very limited selection and my family was very specific on what they wanted. As soon as I enter, the store is books everywhere everything was clean product place in and the sales clerk helped me right away which I appreciated. I was just browsing in the calendar section which they have a lot of and luckily I found somebody put it in the wrong spot. I found the last K-pop demon on it calendar for 2026. That was on my families list of things they wanted. There was other calendars as well Harry Potter, Star Wars comics Snoopy you name it they had it. You should definitely check out Barnes & Noble's and River Park. If you have not already, I will be returning because I need more books in calendars. The price was right. Check out the photos attached to this review.

There's a pretty big selection from what I saw. It's not just a health store, there is also a lot of books of Christian material.

Unfortunately, I can't review on that as I just come in for the vegetarian options. The customer service was amazing. They're super friendly. Since COVID-19, the hours have varied.
