It is a quiet, sleepy bookstore with a beautiful variety of books. We found some phenomenal cookbooks, murder mysteries, and art books we'd been looking for.

If you are ever in the area, highly highly highly recommend stopping by.

Happy you are filling that need for the community). Fun to look at if you're in the area, but not the biggest selection of course due to size.

It's exactly the kind of independent bookstore you hope to discover. The owner is knowledgeable and genuinely lovely, and the shop has such a thoughtfully curated and wide variety of books.

Been fortunate to visit the Russian River Valley a few times recently and I always head for Russian…read moreRiver Books & Letters for its appealing range. It just dawned on me that Russian River Books reminds me of an equally amazing bookshop with adjacent café in Jaipur I was once very grateful for finding. Amazing how bookshops can still be such a focal point all over the world. Russian River Books seems pivotal in organising and holding local events, book-related or otherwise, and having a great café right there with lots of seating indoors and out makes for a spacious, leisurely read. Michael the owner is super welcoming and his lovely dog makes it very homely. Should have made it back to chat some more! They have such a great range of books, queer and otherwise (see photos), and sell literary-adjacent t-shirts, totes and tchotchkes. There's even a secondhand book section! This place is so cool. Looking forward to my next visit already!
