    Friendly family owned bookstore. Owners are helpful and very knowledgeable. I wish I lived in their neighborhood I'd be visiting weekly

    This had to be the weirdest thrift store experience I have ever had. We were drawn to the shop by…read moregoogle and the zen name & signs out front. At first we thought it was closed because all of the lights were off. But the main door was unlocked and we entered. There was 3 people sitting at the table in the middle of the store - they stared us down but didn't say a word. We wondered the entire store which was primarily books, movies/dvds/VHS & furniture, with a few odds and ends. I think my definition of "gift store" is different than theirs because I didn't see much that I would categorize in that department. The odor in this store was the usual thrift store aroma, with a splash of...something very unpleasant. We saw what looked like a music venue in the back with a few guys talking really loudly from that area. After wondering the store, we started to work our way to the front when one of the gentleman practically ran to follow us out. When we looked back at him, he pulled out his key and dangled it indicating he was locking the door behind us, still not saying a single word to us. Out of probably 5 people in that store, not a single one said anything to us. If they were closed, they should have locked the door behind them - it was Saturday late morning.... I would label this more as a used book/music/movie store. I definitely won't waste my time here again. Such a weird experience!

Non judgmental, nice folks, you got the picture. Couches, beer and wine, pizza too. Come by just hear hear the artists. And Carson City has a vibrant and excellent music scene. Open mic on Fridays too. In the thrift store there are wonderful treasures. Very eclectic mix of music memorabilia, fun retro stuff. See ya there!

No "hello, thank you, or have a good day." My teenage son was the one thanking her. She also seemed irritated when he asked for his product to be put in a bag. This employee should not be there if is feeling under the weather. Since she was, at least keep disinfect her hands and act like you want to be there!

    This is the most well-stocked Barnes & Noble bookstore I have ever been in. Their fiction section…read morewas incredibly diverse and had a lot of my favorite authors. The shelves were brimming and there was plenty of staff on hand to help find things and answer questions. Normally, I am an independent bookstore supporter and I do still buy the majority of my books from smaller independent booksellers. Unfortunately, I haven't found an independent bookstore in Nevada -- North or South -- that compares to the likes of Vroman's in Pasadena (if you have a recommendation, I am all ears). That said, if you are in the Reno area and want a brick and mortar bookstore with a huge selection, this is the place. And they do offer some decent discounts, so keep an eye out for the books that have been marked down. I was able to pick up a first edition of Patti Smith's new memoir at 50% off!
