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

Downtowne Bookstore is in Riverside. It is the nicest bookstore with a huge selection of books and…read moresome gifts. They have new and used books and have it all from history to novels. It is family owned and a true independent book store. The owner is wonderful and the staff is just great. They have good prices and I bet they have what you want. It is clean and well organized and if you need help, they will help you. They pretty much know everything they have. If they don't have a book you want they will order it for you.

Love this book store! Service is always great, the value is always higher than what I would expect.read more

Barnes & Noble in Rancho Cucamonga appeared to be a little smaller than some locations, but it has…read morea nice, welcoming children's section that feels inviting. It wasn't very crowded when I visited around 1:00pm, and the store was clean, well organized, and offered a great selection of books along with puzzles, games, and other gift items, which made browsing enjoyable. The restroom area felt very bare and minimalist, and there were no paper towels available at the time, so there wasn't a way to dry your hands. One nice touch was the Starbucks located inside the store, which looked clean and inviting, even though I didn't make a purchase. Overall, it was a good experience, and I would definitely return.

There's nothing like the smell of a bookstore! You know what I'm talking about? You walk in and can…read morejust smell the paper and the ink. It's magical. It's something you just don't get to experience with online ordering. Took my girls here to get some books for leisurely reading and they found quite a few books to get for themselves. They were happy with the selection they had available. A couple titles I wasn't able to locate for myself. Prices can be a little higher than what you'd find online at other retailers, so it's up to you if you want to instantly gratify yourself or wait for an online delivery. It's good to support the brick and mortar stores once in a while. The staff was friendly and helpful--even patient with my youngest daughter and her slightly unruly gift card which we finally got to work!

I am so glad there's still a place that sells newspapers! Usually, I go to grocery stores for them,…read morebut those places have become a bit unreliable in their offerings. Newsboy Books has what I wanted. I bought a copy of the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and the Los Angeles Times. It was such a great selection. While I was at it, I also got a look at their books. It's a mixture of used and new copies. The prices range and they usually aren't discounted, but still cheaper compared to those of Barnes & Noble. The employee up front was very friendly and kind. I had called her beforehand to ask if they had sold newspapers and they answered the phone in good time. She was lovely when I arrived and we had a nice small conversation at check out. I know where I'm going to get newspapers from now on, even if it's a bit of a drive from where I live.

I had a wonderful experience at Renaissance Bookshop, Music & Movies in Riverside. 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.

A very cute and quiet little mom and pop shop type of bookstore! We went in on a whim after…read morevisiting the coffee shop next door. 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.

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!!
