I love an independent book store! I actually had come here a few years prior last time I was in the…read morearea and knew I would be coming back. This weekend I had the chance to come back and I'm so glad I did! The location is awesome. There's ample paid street parking and a ton of other stores and restaurants nearby. The front of the store is a large selection for adults and young adults, and then there's a nice kid section in the back. Employees are all awesome and very friendly AND will offer suggestions, which I love. I wish there was a bookstore like this one in my home town haha. But if you are in the area and are a reader, it's absolutely worth checking out!

(Which I do love BTW) This store has one of the most intuitive layouts I've ever encountered in a bookstore, and the selection, wow! After making all of my selections, I spoke to the owner for a bit. He seems to have a passion for finding everything interesting and unique. What a nice guy! I tried to keep it reasonable and only bought four books, but I already have plans to go back, and I reached out to friends who are in the area to see if there's anything they need! It seems more critical now than ever to have as many books as you can so that we don't lose history.

Our selections of vinyl LPs and vintage clothing are the best in Carson City and we are an excellent resource for film or party costuming and unique gifts. Currently we are open Saturdays and Sundays, but we will be expanding our hours in the summer of 2025. Conveniently located just north of Downtown Carson City, right across Carson Street (US-395) from Larry’s Gourmet Coffee House, Carson Antiques & Collectibles, and A-to-Zen Gift & Thrift Store which has a larger selection of used classical LPs than we do. Our shop is small but mighty, and YES, we do BUY vinyl records! Particularly records from the mid-1970s through the present.

I did think some of the prices on the clothes were a bit overpriced so was hard for me to buy more than one article of clothing. They did have a section just for wedding dressed which i thought was cool! A friend of mine wants to thrift her wedding dress so i made sure to tell her about this spot! Shop owner is super sweet and offered to hold my items at the front while I shopped! parking is pretty limited though, only have about 5 spots in-front of the store but luckily i went when it wasn't busy.

Sadly, the Reno area is extremely lacking in good quality used bookstores anymore. With the loss…read moreof Zephyr Books many years ago and the Book Gallery in Sparks, there just aren't enough quality used bookstores any longer. Grassroots Books is a very good used bookstore with a lot of variety of material-- children's books, DVD's, some records, gently used paperback and hardcover books. Hours are flexible for when they are open, however, they only buy books on Thursdays during the afternoon. I have never been tempted much to sell anything to them over the years, as they tend to be quite choosy with the material that they want and don't want. As a longtime book collector, this is important to maintaining a quality used stock and helps with inventory management. I highly recommend Grassroots for your next book adventure!

Love how the price label has additional info about the condition of the vinyl. Pricing was about right. Saw some good deals, some that might be a tick high, but nothing crazy. And to support a local shop, most definitely worth it. But what really struck me was how friendly the staff were. I overheard one of the employees helping a customer and giving them really good advice, not only on selection, but how to care for their vinyl. Thoughtful! As I was checking out, they noticed my selection and next thing I knew we were talking about the band, their previous tour, their upcoming concert, etc. Another customer even joined in the convo. Fun! This place will definitely be a regular stop for me. Plus, living in Folsom, I think they're the closest to me .. bonus!
