There is a very wide variety of books, from travel to 18+ to occult to cozy mystery, there is such a wide selection of things to read! I recently bought a copy of the shining for a dollar, the book is in great condition! They also sell things like stickers and incense, which is a really nice touch! I have quite a few of their high-quality stickers on both my phone and my computer, as well as my sketchbook! The ambience is absolutely lovely, hot tea, fireplaces, and comfortable chairs make the store feel so homey and comforting! They also host many events there, especially for the witch and Pagan community up here, which I really appreciate! I go to almost every single one and it is always lovely! One of my favorite places in town!!

My sister and I had intended to just grab a coffee, but were pleasantly surprised when we happened…read moreupon this book store. It is so cute and artistic, the smell alone walking in had my book heart SOARING. The prices were so reasonable, the woman working the front desk (wish I remembered her name) was kind and helpful. She also let us know we could bring books to sell for $1 each or we could use it as store credit! If you're in the area, I highly recommend stopping in for a great book and great company.

This is almost certainly the smallest bookstore--new or used--you have ever seen. It is one small…read moreroom, smaller than a kid's bedroom. But there are some nuggets to be found here. The store is located in the upstairs shopping "mall," along with a bunch of either tiny stores. I would estimate at least a quarter to a third of the books are of the sci-fi/fantasy genre. Here is where you may find some very obscure but excellent out of print titles. The fiction section is also well-curated. The rest of the books are a bit of a hodgepodge (travel, humor, etc.). I found the prices to be very fair. Be careful, though: some out of print books are priced accordingly. Worth checking out, if you are a book nerd.

The address takes you to a stairway to a business that has maybe 15-20 separate stalls one of which…read morewas this used bookstore. I spent several minutes trying to follow my GPS before finding a stairway to an "upstairs mall" and realizing I should go up it. There were a fair amount of books, looking to good shape, organized in a way that made sense and priced reasonably. Unfortunately out of my several favorite authors, there were only two represented, both by one only book each which I had already read. I finally saw a store sign at the bottom of the stairway as I was leaving, partly obstructed and hard to see. They really need to do a better job of helping people find them.

Had high hopes for this bookstore. Especially since it was…read moreremodelled and new ownership if I'm not mistaken. Staff was not welcoming at all. Atleast the older gentleman that was there. Children's section was small and don't have any classic books. Everything was so political and liberal. (Not just books for gifts) Which doesn't fit a bookstore. Wish they could have just focused on books and had a great section for children with seating and all. This was more of a "doing it for the 'gram" type of store

Parking is available across the street near the goodwill or if you can get a spot on the street. We came in and there were piles of books next to the bookshelves. The sections aren't completely labeled, but if you read enough, you can see what category the bookkeeper has placed the books in. There isn't a certain order (alphabetically or anything). You go in and you peruse what is available . The bookseller is also hanging out in the front and will let you look at the front room or the back room. We saw the children's section, science, graphic novels, AAPI, and fantasy. Their romance was scattered around the store. I did end up leaving with a book purchase. I will say it's hard to look at everything because the lights were also flickering, although there is sunlight coming in. It was quite overwhelming to look at books. Overall the prices were cheaper than a bookstore chain. It's very nice to see these stores still operating. I'd choose this over a chain any day.

I was searching…read morefor a specific hardcover book that was not currently in stock, but Gene Berkman went above and beyond to help. Instead of simply telling me he didn't have it, he took the time to recommend several websites where I could find the book at a very reasonable price. Thanks to his guidance, I found exactly what I was looking for, and the deal was so good that I ended up ordering two books. Gene Berkman and Jayne Hanson clearly care about their customers and have a genuine passion for books. Their knowledge, friendliness, and willingness to help make this shop a true gem in Riverside. I highly recommend Renaissance Bookshop to anyone looking for books, music, movies, and outstanding customer service.

So this huge Baptist church has a full-on independent coffeehouse. No skimping-- teas, mochas, lattes, chai, blended drinks, the whole shebang. They'll even bake you a little pizza or toast a bagel, and they have some candy too (for people to munch on during services??) There's also a decent collection of Christian books and gifts, but the guy behind the counter said that was going away soon; they're remodeling to make it a proper coffeehouse. Hopefully they'll expand their hours a bit; I'd love an alternative to chain coffeehouses.

I was pleased to find GreenBooks just a couple of miles from my home so ventured over there to check it out. What a pleasant surprise - I buy and read quite a lot (old, retired guy), so was eager to explore the shop. For a relatively small store, they have an incredible number of books packed in there. They have a nice variety covering a wide spectrum of subjects from fiction thru all kinds of non-fiction - recent best sellers, law, romance, history, DIY, auto repair, gardening, golf, etc. There is probably something there for everyone. The woman (manager / owner?) who waited on me was very helpful and the store's resident cat is a lovely, friendly girl. Though I'm not much of a browser, which generally takes me to online dealers to buy mine, this is a place made for browsing and probably a fun place for readers to spend a couple of hours.
