This place is a mess -- disorganized, dirty, and apparently comfortable giving space to vendors who…read moreopenly insult customers. The entire interaction started after I paid a vendor through Zelle, and despite the payment clearly being sent successfully, he claimed he never received it. When I questioned it, because it genuinely felt like he was trying to keep the item and the money, he responded by calling me a "queen" in a mocking, derogatory way. The fact that this kind of behavior is tolerated says everything about the environment they allow there. There are far better vintage shops that are professional, organized, and don't tolerate disrespectful or hateful behavior. Spend your money elsewhere.

Here's one review that deserved a revisit…read more We trek to Arizona several times a year, and without fail, we stop in Quartzsite for gas both coming and going. Reader's Oasis is always deserving of a visit should we make it through town during the daylight hours (we rarely do, since we're usually hauling ass in the middle of the night.) Yes, the owner is a nudist so BEWARE if you are one with Victorian sensibilities or are bringing in kids you don't want exposed to the clothing optional world. Often, as we're pulling up, Paul Winer is out front, bare butt to the street, arranging the discount and free books on the tables in the sun. Last weekend he was sporting a vibrant, rainbow-colored codpiece that just draws the eye in. He's a really cool guy, down-to-earth. Of course, you've probably got to be. To speak of the shop itself, the place is completely legit. Paul and his wife stock a very wide variety of rare and used books and collectors' items that are well worth the treasure hunt. Reader's Oasis' strength is in its sci-fi/fantasy and non-fiction sections. If you've got an interest in the local indigenous people, paleontological finds, Old West, and such, you're definitely in luck. Be sure to buy a commemorative bookmark of Sweet Pie in all his tanned glory for 50 cents. While signs out front say he's photo-friendly, it feels weird asking him outright to pose for one.

There are so few bookstores left in the world. This one is a bit nostalgic for the 90s, and I'm…read morereally glad it still exists. It's a very strange thing, however, that half of the back part of the store is all toys. But, are there any toy stores anymore? So I guess it makes sense to combine it. Every time I've come, the employees are extremely helpful and answer lots of my questions. When things are not in, they are quick to offer that they can order it. Unfortunately, I am so usually last minute that I don't have time to do online ordering. But, I appreciate that they know and let me know that that's an option. They've got quite a selection of fun, trinkets, and beautiful gifts near the front and in the back. The sale aisles are always a fun thing to look at and usually I find one or two things I didn't know I was looking for. The one thing missing this last trip was I was looking for a magazine about soccer. And they have a huge magazine selection of Tons and tons of sports and hobbies and all kinds of other things. But I could not find one soccer magazine. There was one on wooden boats and baseball and football. But no soccer. Do they not make soccer magazines? This was obviously for a gift for someone else. Anyhow, this is super rambling and yet, you're still reading. So if you're feeling nostalgic and want to grab a real book with paper and the smell of fresh creases, head over here. There's a little café inside as well.

It's also well lit since natural light is coming in through the huge doors and windows from the entrance accessibility on the street. All the different book sections are highlighted and well represented from Anime, Manga, Sci Fi, Young Readers, Novels, Magazines to name a few. Their children's sections is also very welcoming. They have the stage and little chairs for the little ones. This Barnes & Noble location carries everything from books, art, toys, DVDs, magazines and some collectible items. You can definitely find most of the books you're looking for at this location. This is a great place for avid readers like us. We found some cool and interesting books at this location that's hard to find.

At…read morefirst I didn't realize that there's another location just past downtown Palm Springs tucked inside a strip mall. Then there's this location, which I believe maybe a bigger one. Just off the main strip of East Palm Canyon, you won't miss it. There's plenty of parking which is always a major plus. Right when you walk in, of course you can tell it's a thrift store. One side is where all homes goods and furniture is located and the opposite is where the clothing are. There's quite a big home section which I was quite surprised. Deals were great for some of the things I saw. Pretty much loads of items and well priced. But right in the middle of the store, there's more furniture but it seems to be more of the higher end collection. A good selection on mid century and modern pieces which looked pretty new. They're a bit pricer than you would normally think for a second hand shop but still pretty affordable. Clothing wise, I didn't scan through it as I was just browsing the furniture and accessories. You can score some gems there if you look around. Some things looked amazing but prices were a bit on the expensive side for what it was. It's a pretty cool place to just pop in to see what they carry. Who knows, you could find some amazing gems.

It was pretty busy for a weekday, but this store had the 70s music playing and me - and a few other Boogie Souls - a groovin'! So many cool MCM pieces - both new and used - and great prices. I'm thinking these must come from liquidators and estate sales, as well as donations. There are SO MANY items I loved with nowhere to put them. Thankfully, we also had no room, save for a couple of nooks in the car we managed to cram the books and silly trinkets we found to bring home. I told Hubs, 'We are DEF coming back here with a large vehicle, A LOT of donations, a budget and no common sense!' LOVE that I'm supporting a charitable organization and local community outreach programs by shopping at these Revivals stores. No wonder they are award winning! Cheers! "CC"

Recently, I drove to the La Mesa store with a car full of donations during a very heavy rainstorm. I pulled up to the marked donation drop-off door but was told I could not park there and needed to move across the lot, get a cart, and bring everything in myself. I explained that i was not parking, I am handicapped and offloading since it was pouring rain, but was still told no. I ended up leaving without donating or shopping. As a loyal supporter of FJV, I was very disappointed by the lack of understanding and outright rudness.

The quality of the items is impressive, and the store is well organized, which makes browsing enjoyable. That said, the pricing feels more like a boutique than a thrift store. While I understand that proceeds go toward a good cause, I often leave empty‑handed because the prices are just too high for what I'd expect at a thrift. For me, part of the joy of thrifting is finding something wonderful and feeling like I scored a bargain -- not like I overpaid. If you don't mind paying a lot more, you'll likely find unique and quality pieces here. But if you're hunting for that classic thrift‑store bargain, be prepared that prices may not match the typical thrifting experience.
