The employees will drop everything and get excited to help you find the best book to meet your preferences. They share their favorites when asked and can advise you on gifts for anyone. I couldn't LOVE It more.

I came here months ago and bought Jennette McCurdys book which was new at the time and my girlfriend had bought a blind date with a book. First off, we were happy to walk out getting books we were happy with at an affordable price and the atmosphere of the place was great. When I come back to visit my friend in the area, I'll make sure we make our way back here for another book to remind me of the trip.

GREAT FOR GIFTS! This store is great for gift-giving. If you want something besides their spectacular selection of books, they've also got you covered. So many cool and unique selections. From philosophy mugs to imported rare pencils and even fun kitchen towels, the Avid Reader is the spot! I got a last-minute baby shower gift there. They even wrapped it! Which was spectacular because I forgot to buy wrapping paper, haha. It looked beautiful and the book I chose was super cute and not something I could find at any other store. So glad they made my day easier. I will continue to keep going back to Avid Reader for their selection and great customer service. They sometimes even have authors visit! It's a must when visiting Davis! 10/10

The Avid Reader Bookstore was the highlight of our afternoon! Amazing book recs for the teens (who now have noses in books and off devices), a candle that welcomed winter with the perfect light and scent, and a necklace I'd been hunting for at online department stores for a fraction of the price. A win all the way around. This one-stop-shop will literally fulfill all your holiday gifting needs (and self-care needs as well)! Ask for recommendations - you won't regret it!

The Avid Reader truly made my day, week, or even year. I pre-ordered Iron Flame on Amazon months ago and when release day came and they delayed my order indefinitely I was heartbroken. That’s when I called the Avid Reader. The kind lady I spoke to on the phone totally understood my panicked state, my hundreds of questions, and answered them gracefully even when I repeated myself. She was able to reassure me they did have some copies left, even the special edition one I had been wanting. Not only that but the person who rang up my book was super understanding and made me feel so much better about this whole experience. They even gave me a goodie bag with stickers, a bookmark, and a temporary tattoo pack! I know the next time I need a book I’m choosing them! The incredible customer service filled with kindness and understanding has made me a loyal Avid Reader customer!
