This store has really undergone a transformation in the last 2 years. The horror section has…read moreincreased, and now they have a specific area for store employee recommendations (huge fan of this). The staff is always helpful and friendly. My one complaint is that the staffing isn't always what it should be. For instance, it takes 1-2 weeks to get the new magazines out on the shelves. This is in no way the staffs fault. They just don't have the appropriate resources necessary. You can get a 10% discount with a paid membership. For me it was a no brainer.

The last few weeks, a sweet girl named Annika has been leading the story time. What a wonderful heart she has. A genuine, sweet energy. She reads with enthusiasm and engages the children kindly and with patience. She really makes it special for everyone in attendance. Annika, if you see this, your effort is noticed and deeply appreciated!

This store is a little hidden gem in the corner of the San Gabriel valley…read more I needed invitations to an upcoming summer event, and something a little bit snazier and with a personal touch than what you buy at the greeting card stores, but not as ridiculously expensive. (My parents were getting remarried for their anniversary). Thanks to the Yelp reviews I drove to this small store, and was surprised by the quality and atmosphere of Periwinkle. * This place was the best of all worlds for me *: - A truly new shopping discovery, as I do not buy a lot of paper products - Hints of quality vintage material, which I am appreciating as I get older - That sense that I am getting a great deal on stuff that would normally be a LOT more expensive elsewhere. (let me translate that into shopping-speak: Prices are SALE PRICES elsewhere!!!!) - Great personal service by the staff, who were eager to help me make style and color decisions without pushing or up-selling anything my way - Bringing back that childhood joy of watching my own product come together before my eyes, done by my own hands. Like crafts shop, but at an adult, professional level - And did I mention the staff was helpful? I felt more like I was at a friend's house working on a project than at some store with a body minding the counter waiting for the clock to hit quitting time. I kid you not that I felt giddy in the store, and wanted to stay long after closing time to come up with different and new ideas of things to create and add to my parents wedding (and my own home.) When I got my final bill for my sale, I could not believe how much I had saved. It is a bit of a drive, but well worth it. Needless to say my family has been surprised by the quality of the invites, and I am very pleased with my experience. I am looking for any excuse just to go back there and work on something again.

They examined each volume and offered a fair price for the ones worthy of selling in their store or at book fairs. I learned many of the books were in good condition and very old, yet have little value in the current market. They advised me of where to sell other books in the collection which had little value, were not rare and/or in need of repair. Really nice folks. As a society we must support our local economy by patronizing our independent book sellers. Covina... you have a treasure!

How rude ! Turned me off immediately, dropped the book I had and walked out. Why she couldn't have said something like "can I help you find something" ? Avoid at all costs - this place does not want business.

In one point…read moreabout twenty years ago Scholastic's picked up the torch right where Troll Bookfair dropped it. Scholastics was the leading authority when it came to giving children access to a cheap book. In the last year the moral has been low and I had to drop them. The woman that ran the warehouse I think her name was "Rachel" gave her very BEST for years! Clearly it showed that her heart was in the right place. That day came to a dead end when she "Quite!" The day she took off crying! That day was probably the saddest day ever for Scholastic's in Anaheim CA. Another woman behind the scenes as known as "Dorothy" gives nothing but her blood and soul to deliver only the best. I am compelled to talk about all these fine girls behind the scenes. That it is clear that not one is appreciated. Things have change for the worst in Anaheim CA warehouse. To the authorities of Scholastics Bookfair "You are doing a good job in destroying" this warehouse location. Basically you cut off the wings of your staff and blind folded their eyes. Now! If you can drive to the Anaheim warehouse to access books sales that is as fantastic as it realistically will get. Good luck!

JPM Comics is an amazing and humble comic shop. I am a huge advocate for comic shops in this day…read moreand age, so I really enjoyed coming here. The shop is hidden away in the corner of a plaza and is not too hard to find once you spot it. There are plenty of parking spots, and the shop has a retro comic feel once you walk in. The two gentlemen within the shop were great help and were able to answer all of my questions. We talked for a bit, and they were able to put my order in for the new tmnt ronin comics coming out. You can tell the order bases on demand and specific needs so that don't have a lot on the shelves but that is more of a reason to stop by and get on the list to pull your upcoming comics. Overall, this shop has plenty of heart. It's definitely my new home base for comics and collectibles.

My bf and I came here for Free Comic Book day and at first we drove around in circles looking for the place. Luckily, I was able to spot the sign from across the street. The store is really small but the people who works here are nice and they allowed us to grab some free comics from previous years as well as whatever was left for Free Comic Book day this year. It didn't look like they have much in variety and quantity of comics since the place is so tiny but I'm sure they can hook you up with some interesting finds.
