    Enjoyed the selection and variety of books to choose from. The store layout is easy to navigate and displays books with as many covers facing out as possible. Great pricing!!! Even found a few Superman Comic Books to get framed for a friend.

    Great old book set

    Nothing fancy, but full of treasures. What looks like an old service station at one time, has been this fabulous bookstore for years. I pass it a lot coming and going to Costco. And every once in awhile stop to check out new finds. GR is very well organized. Inside all the areas are well labeled. On nice days there are sale racks out front in the parking lot. During the summer go to the west side of the building and through the gate. There are 30 or more tables with boxes and boxes of books on clearance. Still very well organized- each table is labeled with the type of books in the boxes. GR carries brand new and used books. They have their own private parking lot and some street parking that is also free. They accept credit cards and cash.

    My daughter and I love this bookstore and visit often. They have a great selection of both new and used books at very competitive prices. They will pay cash for your used books, vinyl records and blu-rays and the selling process is super easy and efficient. The store is well organized and easy to find the title/author you seek by category. The staff has always been very welcoming and helpful. It is locally owned and we love to support our community business owners. They have an outside sale where everything is only $1 and on Sundays, you can fill a grocery-sized bag up for a mere $5! Come check this place out and pick up some good reads!

    Was visiting Reno and came across this bookstore! So many different kinds of reads. Cheap prices on hardback and paperback books! They even have current best sellers! If in the area please check them out! When I visit Reno again that is one place I will always go! Wish they could come to Texas!

    Calligraphy book, used, great condition, only $1.99!!!  So excited

    Visited the bookstore while waiting for our car service to be complete. They have a great kids section and my son got a book on coding, a new fiction book, and a little crochet art project. I got a book on calligraphy as I'm practicing hand lettering. The book was so helpful! The staff was nice, the selection was great, and the prices were very affordable! I will definitely visit again!

    After several people recommended this place, I finally checked it out for my friend's birthday…read morecelebration. We came by after dinner, and it's nice and cozy for a bar! If you head to the other section, you can actually browse through the records and check out the vinyl player. I didn't see anyone listening to music while we were there, but maybe I'll do that next time. Someone also told me they serve coffee and tea too, so I'd love to try that on another visit. As for the bar itself, everyone was super friendly and the drinks were really good. I stuck to mocktails this time, but there are definitely a few others on the menu I want to try next time. It was pretty busy for a Saturday, but it still maintained a really chill vibe. I highly recommend it!

    This time last year EP was on the Yelp Food Walk…read more So I was past due to circle back and rediscover it when it wasn't flooded with event goers. An interesting combination of coffee shop, bar, and vinyl lounge, EP is located on Wells Avenue. Took a break from checking out other neighborhood shops to sit and enjoy an afternoon cocktail with friends. Plenty of various comfy seating areas and about six spots at the bar. I tried the Float On, a boozy adult root beer float using local gelato from Bibo. It's a coffee shop, so my friend sipped the 9 to 5, their version of an espresso martini. The Soul Sipper, a beautiful orange colored cocktail was similar to an Aperol Spritzer. Located on the corner of Wells and Vassar, there's a little more street parking available.

No "hello, thank you, or have a good day." My teenage son was the one thanking her. She also seemed irritated when he asked for his product to be put in a bag.

The shelves were brimming and there was plenty of staff on hand to help find things and answer questions. Normally, I am an independent bookstore supporter and I do still buy the majority of my books from smaller independent booksellers. Unfortunately, I haven't found an independent bookstore in Nevada -- North or South -- that compares to the likes of Vroman's in Pasadena (if you have a recommendation, I am all ears). That said, if you are in the Reno area and want a brick and mortar bookstore with a huge selection, this is the place. And they do offer some decent discounts, so keep an eye out for the books that have been marked down. I was able to pick up a first edition of Patti Smith's new memoir at 50% off!
