Lovely local book store. I visited for the first time today and loved the broad range of books. the staff was great. I'll definitely be back. read more

A nice old store book Phil. Lots of magazines and books to look at. It was a nice visit.

I am so glad there's still a place that sells newspapers! Usually, I go to grocery stores for them, but 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. read more

We've been going here since our younger days and nothing has changed. They are always very helpful and courteous.

I had a day off and decided to check out Ontario since moving into the IE in the past year. When I checked for "books" in Yelp, this was one of the shops that came up, but I couldn't tell on what they had based on the pictures, so a visit was needed! Came by on a Friday, and curb parking was available! I'm not sure how busy it gets on weekends, but there seems to be ample street parking. Was friendly greeted upon walking in, and this place is SO MUCH BIGGER than I could figure out based on the original Yelp/Google pictures. Yes, they have magazines and newspapers, but they have books! Some of the books are a little bit aged, but the employee did confirm that they get new shipments EVERY WEEK, and they definitely had modern books (omg, they had the Iron Flame book with the black-edged pages....). Also, they have such an assortment of books! Educational/exam prep, computer, self-help, fiction, religious, non-fiction, coloring books, westerns, crafts, etc. etc, they basically have it all! And some art signed! Some are on sale/discounted! I loved that they had something for everyone, and there are some items that are a little bit older/kitschy, but it still brought joy to my heart. I mean, come on, finding those type of "privacy" signs for kids' bedroom doors are a little dated, but it's also quite cute. And, paperdolls! I haven't seen any of those classics in a long time, and it's so cool to see them still be available! I definitely went home with a lot of hardcover books, most that were signed! The employee was kind to also provide me with a number of bookmarks. Highly, highly recommend on making a visit here. I feel that bookstores are a dying breed, and they're needed to help provide people with different outlooks. This particular store has been there for at least 50 years and maybe it should at least be there for another 50! Also, I did ask the employee if I could take pictures, as there's just SO MUCH that I didn't know they had based on the original Yelp pictures. Got the thumbs up, and tried to take as many pictures as I could while shopping. Enjoy! read more

This place is simply amazing. Such a wide selection of newspapers, periodicals, and books including hard to find out of print items. I've been coming here for 50 years and this place is an absolute treasure. And it's located on Euclid Ave in the beautiful historic downtown Ontario. read more

This is the kind of bookstore the leads of a 90s romcom go to fall in love!! They have such a wide variety of reads you can't get at other, larger bookstores and for that, I am eternally grateful. If you're looking for a niche gift or just want to browse and listen to fun tunes, go here!! The cashier was extremely knowledgeable when addressing my questions and that's one of the main reasons I will be returning soon. I can't wait! read more

Newsboy Books - Storefront - Newspapers & Magazines Near Me - Ontario, California

I really needed newspaper for moving, hardly anyone gets the paper anymore to save and it would cost a small fortune to buy as much paper as I needed but here I got about 5 inches high of news papers for $5.00! Thank you Newsboy! read more

Wow, I cannot believe that these guys are still in business. I have been visiting this book store since the late 90s and early 2000s when I lived in Pomona and Claremont. Its a great place with old and new books. They also sale old record albums here, and a bunch of other non book items. You can also purchased some food and snacks here. Pretty dusty in here sometimes. Its a old store as in a Ontario Downtown Classic. Cool employees and all. Its never that busy when I'd visit here back in the days. Nice to know that they are still around. read more

It's great and the worker is very kind and approachable, but I'm quite an Anime and Manga fan and I feel they should add a section for Manga. read more

Great book store with lots of options and educational resources as well. Owner and employees are very helpful and respectful!

Thank you for the staff and the convo. The way the store is set up and the friendly real people that work there.

Newsboy Books is like a taking a step back in time with its cozy atmosphere and wide selection of books ranging from "vintage" to recently published. Not only was it fun to browse, but many items were priced lower than at Barnes and Noble. We found signed copies, cheap puzzle books, and cheap gift ideas! On top of it all, service was great and the woman that helped us out was very sweet. Support this small business! read more

A surprising and charming analogue relic in a digital world. This place is wonderful in its own way. The kind of bookstore you miss in a nostalgic way, loaded with of incredible old "new" stock stuff. Like, original never-sold 80's and 90's books that you remember like a dream from your youth. It smells like your old high school library. The employees were helpful and told us about its over 60 year history. It's a VERY unique store, landing somewhere between book store and vintage store. You'll see a modern book like "Zoom For Dummies" across the shelf from a clamshell book about cooking, complete with included VHS tape thats still shrink wrapped and been sitting there for 40 years. There's original paper dolls books of Nancy Reagan next to magazines about Cryptocurrency. It's wild. Lots of its "brand new" old stock is leftover from their other locations that closed over the years. If you're seeking something up to date, it might be hit or miss and Barnes and Noble is going to be a better bet... BUT, you really just have to come in and wander and let the store speak to you about what you need. I'm not kidding, it's a legitimate time machine experience if you ever wanted to experience the 80's bookstore. Anyway, I loved it. Head over here and buy something. Anything. These spaces need to be supported and kept alive. Thanks for the vintage postcard, books and fun exploring time! read more

Newsboy Books - Amazing they still have these vintage posters, seemingly from 1994-1995? - Newspapers & Magazines Near Me - Ontario, California

What a fabulous bookstore! They carry the daily paper, fashion magazines, and magazines of many genres: automotive, sports, you name it! They have hundreds of books that include the classics, children's, Spanish language, best sellers, the latest releases. And they are open until 7:00 p.m. They have been selling their books for over 50 years, a true Ontario staple. read more

Great book store with a wide range of books you probably want find other places. A lot of novelty items too. I love a great book store steaming from my child hood trauma of numerous book fairs of a child and not being able to buy all the books on those colorful forms, now that I'm an adult I have it my way when I want. Definitely stop through if in town or want to impress your lady friends with something different. Great selection of children books too. read more

Went in for a LA times newspaper & they had exactly what I needed . It reminds me of an old schools / new school any type of book or newspaper you need you can find it ! read more

Recently discovered this wonderful place! I love their selection of magazines and newspapers. I spoke to Roberta (which I think may be the owner) very sweet person, I asked her about carrying a specific product and sure enough, two weeks later they had it in stock! (The Paris review magazine) thank you! read more

Such a fun shop, highly recommend stopping while in Ontario, especially if in town for Logans's candy around the corner! Helpful staff and good mix of used and new books. Something for everyone for sure. read more

Came looking for old magazines for a new years resolution collage and it was great. They had lots of variety and were super helpful.

Absolute 10/10 store!!!! It's like you are transported back to the 80s/90s. I could spend hours just looking at the greeting cards!

This place is a gem and well worth the drive from Claremont and Rancho. A real honest local bookstore w great service. The next closest is in Riverside. They not only stock the Sunday NEW YORK TIMES and will hold it for me until I can pick it up. Great service. Terrific magazine selection. And, the ride south on Euclid from Foothill is pretty and shady and historic. Drive on down to check it out and stay in the neighborhood for an authentic taco. read more

Highly recommend Newsboy Bookstore in Downtown Ontario. I ordered books a while ago, they called to let me know my order was in, I missed it. They called again today, to make sure I didn't need my order for Christmas. She even offered to stay past 6pm if I needed her to, ON CHRISTMAS EVE. Amazon started as an online bookstore, and Newsboy has survived it, so far. Please, take the extra time, have some patience, and buy local. read more

Loved all the classics that this book store has to offer!! The selection is impressive and absolutely the best service. We will definitely be coming back! read more

I love bookstores. I was driving to the freeway and saw this store, so I turned around and went in. They have a large selection of magazines and books. They actually had paper dolls! A good selection too. We found some good books to take with us. The people in the store were super helpful and very nice. If you enjoy reading stop by here and grab some books and magazines. Highly recommend. read more

THANK YOU! To the sweet owner who helped me ring up my gift and assisted me so kindly in finding field guides I needed :) please support this business and everyone who helps make this place what it is. Thank you again and I will be back very soon read more

Came for the LA Times the morning after the Dodgers' World Series win and missed out since they sold out immediately. The ladies were very helpful and put me down on the waitlist for when they restocked on the particular issue. Got a call a couple days later that they got it in and was available for pickup. They were so nice and incredibly patient with the long line. I'll be giving them more of my business once the magazines start coming out of the WS win. I even got some Lakers magazines after the NBA title and they were all in great condition. read more

The best bookshop!! Staff is always so nice and friendly and prices are always good with a variety of amazing books. I love it here!!

very good customer service!! good value and section i recommend this place al a lot because they have good quality books!

5/21/2018 Had one hour to burn while waiting for an order to be done, I wandered around Newsboy Books... and lost time in there. Could be improved: - Old posters are truly old. Same with greeting cards. Though the selections are interesting & unique, could have added more better quality and newer ones - Kids section is right next (or in front) of the cabbage romance Like: I like it personally as it reminds me of an old bookstore atmosphere. There are a good mixed selections of old and new books as well as magazines (note, "old" books - not the smelly, yellow stained used books in the used book store). The selections cover most interesting subjects (I particularly like the cut out paper doll section). For a modern atmosphere, there is Ontario public library just right across the street (free). With comparable prices, for a flashy and new (but shallow) selection (with coffee being sold along), there is Barns & Noble. For a relax cruising time, visit Newsboy Books. read more

Cheap.. dusty... overpriced USED books. Employee was not friendly. Avoid. Avoid. Avoid. read more

This place has such a small selection of books it's really not worth the drive. The prices aren't that great either. Not to mention the place smells like cigarettes and moisture. read more

I like that it's privately owned, BUT the customer service is not great! The cashier looked so mad and I tried asking her something and she just wasn't having it. Prices are pretty expensive too. Will continue to support as it's a small private business though!! read more

I have been going to Newsboy since my brother first took me there when I was six years old. It's the only news stand I go to. The selection is insane and the staff is very friendly. If you're a regular that stops in for a specific magazine and you missed last month, they will offer you the back issue if you want it. read more

Great selection of books, new and old, but the prices are not great. I can find the same books at the thrift store for $1 or $2. Even goodwill is cheaper. read more

great selections of magazines and the staff is very nice about saving and special orders.

This old-fashioned authentic bookstore/newsstand has a wonderful collection of amazing and eclectic selections, from the newest releases to some vintage items, all new, not a used bookstore at all. Books, magazines, newspapers from Southern California as well as national papers. They are friendly and accomodating, attentive, and will order whatever you want, if you don't see it in the store. read more
