Renaissance Book Shop

This is the best used-book shop in the area. The shelves are stacked two-deep and there are many piles of used books on the floor and atop any reasonably flat surfaces. Despite the overabundance of books, the owner keeps it neat and (fairly) well organized. There are also new books — hardcovers and paperbacks — including some that may be of fairly esoteric interest. Fans of science fiction and fantasy, as well as mysteries, will find lots to like here. You’ll find little collections of books that may be of special interest, such as a nice collection of Hispanic authors. There’s also a nice selection of new DVDs/Blu-rays that includes many foreign films, Asian and European. Set aside a couple of hours for your visit. Bonus: across the street you’ll find antiques and thrift stores.

Books, CDs, DVDs, Blu-Ray, and more. One of the few independent booksellers left in Riverside. Large selection of SciFi. Owner says you may trade your old books for store credit. Or donate books you don’t want any more.

A hidden gem. Me and my sister went here today and they had hundreds (if not thousands) of books. They had plenty of pocket books, paperbacks, and hardcovers with a wide variety of genres. Will definitely be visiting again. Definitely recommend.

One of the last places you will find rows of books, sad that there are very few left but this place is a cultural treasure.

Amazing little spot, big selection on bookks, good prices, I got inside hoping to find one book and end up with 7
