    I have bought almost 20 books from this place! I keep going back because they have little children's books in Spanish that I can't find anywhere else for my nieces. I appreciate that they are culturally sensitive and have a broad selection of books for all kinds of tastes and age groups and in various languages. This mom and pop shop is a little treasure in Riverside and I try my best to support them as best as possible. Sometimes the books are more expensive than online but that is something that I am ok with in order to support this shop. You can make special orders too. Things to consider with Covid-19: The bookstore is always locked and the way to get in is by knocking and they will come over and open the door for you, give you some hand sanitizer, and allow you in. You must wear a mask! I really appreciate all their efforts to keep everyone safe! Thank you!

    Store dog!

    Book off is way better, terrible customer service and poor selection of books and prices, even Barnes and Noble is better than this place

    Well stocked. Knowledgeable, nice, and helpful staff. Linda recommended one of my favorite reads - never would have found it without her!

    Was sitting on this review but I think it's time. Three Fridays ago I went to Barnes and waited in…read moreline behind three people. Got to the front of the line and asked very politely and calmly "do you have any Pokémon cards?" I was on a time crunch and trying to get a birthday present for my nephew before meeting them for dinner. The cashiers response was "I have to let the line die down before I can even check." I was very confused by this statement because as a customer myself, I waited in a line to even ask the question. There were other cards behind her, and I was confused as to why she couldn't turn around or look down. But I said okay no problem. I stepped off to the side and watched her help three people. People were still filing in and I had no problem. Then a woman who looked like a manager walked behind the cash register to break change, she asked the cashier what I was doing. They then started to whisper but I could hear the word "Pokémon" very clearly. The manager out loud goes oh no. Don't open the box. We don't open boxes until the weekend or Monday nights and then they both just stared at me. Feeling extremely uncomfortable and choosing to take the higher road (also on a time crunch) I left. Thanks for nothing :-) I too was a customer who waited in a line and will not support this business. I can't feel bad for brick and mortar book stores that end up closing due to choosing to lose business.

    In this day and age of tech it's nice to go and still grab a mag or book to read and chillread more
