    A sweet couple runs this specially curated book store. Interesting books. Sort of like a condensed version of facts, stories, characters and themes. They also have jewelry and many other curious and bewitching items for sale. Worth a visit.

    Follow your dreams and your heart to make life easier and happier. Rainbows and Sparkles!

    "There is no friend as loyal as the book!" Ernest Hemingway Do you feel calm around books? Love to read! This might be your new favorite place. You name the genre and they might have it. Or ask and they can order what which you seek. Love is a cover away. So much knowledge just crack the cover. Finally, a book store that's close enough for our side of town. The store is well organized and managed with great excellence. Get excited you get to add a new book to your collection. The books are separated by categories. They offer lot of new books and used books. The pricing is pretty decent. The staff have great attitudes and seem to enjoy their job. Are you looking for that unique and exciting gift that looks extra creative; then look no further . Come on in just to browse. Crack open the cover on an "actual book" you will become a superhero. Let's get started and start building brain cells and power.

    My sister-n-law from San Diego is a BookToker, so we brought her here! MAD RED BOOKS just opened up July 4th and is located in our neighborhood of Silverado Ranch. We were warmly welcomed by the staff at the counter. The collection at this store includes new, used, and rare books. All new books were 15% off. I picked up a used book for $6.00 (retail $16). I also found something new for my 2 year old niece called, "Snuggle Puppy" and she loved it! The bookstore also showcases local artists' work for sale! I love the wooden ornaments hanging around the shelves. At the front counter there are these little panda bees, which I can't stop thinking about, so I shall return once I finish reading my book!

    Went with a friend during October and enjoyed checking it out. The staff was nice and the book selection was all organized. They had some mystery books wrapped up that you could take a chance on if you wanted. Lots of good deals! They have plenty of parking since it's in a strip mall parking lot. Definitely would go back!

    Can't pass up French literature!

    Clean and quaint. Limited seating for kids and adults. Wide array of genres, well-organized small space. Friendly staff--I was there on a Sunday afternoon. I found a classic from one of my favorite authors at a good price. I hope to stop by again soon and find more treasures!

    They sell new and used books. They have a good collection of books. This is next to Nielsens frozen custard. It is quaint, clean and quiet. They have a sofa to sit and read books and I like the book wall backdrop. They are currently accepting donation of used books.

    Congrats on your grand opening! Made it ahead of the ribbon cutting and the turnout was amazing. People were lining up and excited to support the latest bookstore opening. It's so encouraging to see the sheer amount of people - at one point, you could hardly move inside as everyone filled the aisles and nooks and crannies. It's a family-run store with art from various family members throughout as well as the logo custom designed by a close friend. Found some goodies and can't wait to see the shelves all decked out - a solid mix of rare books, used, and new.

    Easy browsing

    What a great addition to the neighborhood! This new bookstore has only been open for about a month, but it already feels like a cozy community spot. The sections are clearly labeled, making it easy to browse, and there's a chill lounge area in the back with couches. This area is perfect for flipping through a few pages before you buy. Prices are reasonable. They are accepting book donations. Check it out.

    First time at "Red Mad Books". Nice little book store to look for that rare book you've been trying to find. There is also some art work & a couple couches to relax while finding that right book to read. The employees were kind, welcoming & available for any questions. Some of the books had a price listed on them, but when I brought it to the counter, it was cheaper than listed.

    An employee calling multiple customers liars

    Since someone got my previous yelp review removed... Happened to stop by this book store with my wife before making our way to brew tea. Cute little store, but one of the employees was very rude. First off, one of the workers, I believe his name was Joe, was using foul language with children present. Under no circumstance is that okay, and it appears that he is a repeat offender based off of previous reviews. We didn't happen to purchase anything on our way out and that foul mouthed worked said "okay, bye whatever" as we were walking out the door. It looks like this employee was complained about 4 weeks ago and he's still employed here. I love supporting small businesses, but this one desn't seem like the store cares, so I wouldn't recommend coming here. It's also extremely unprofessional for a business to make light of a review and comment on it by accusing its customers of lieing. See the screenshot. Joe, I recommend you work on your customer service because it is appalling as it is lacking.

    See all

    Do they buy books?

    When I asked them a few months ago, they did not buy books, although they indicated that this might change.

    You'll find them at Sansone Park Place on Eastern and Richmar, right next to Nielsen's Frozen Custard and Popped.
