Book Stores in Riverside, CA

“Came in a couple weeks ago, the atmosphere and ambiance is friendly and inviting. I like how they are cultivating a new look and style for the younger readers. It shows commitment to avid readers and a greater community of aspiring book lovers. As a teacher, seeing the appeal for young readers always receives my appreciation. Thank you guys.”

“Bathrooms needs a little more care but the atmosphere in the store is very cordial. Take in a book, read or just hangout the staff is very helpful when your so mesmerized by sheer volume of books to choose from & have complementary drink samples to serve your pallet. Just don't ask for free water it's from the tap. Still all in all beats the library anytime.”

“They have a wonderful selection of recovery related items and are more than willing to help, answer questions, and ensure a positive customer experience. I'll be returning to this store as often as I can.”

“This is review for alumni dining. Commons "adc"Nice variety, clean and most is quite fresh, excellent desserts, nice salad bar , different entrees stations”

“Very happy to see that there is a Bookoff location in the Inland Empire. It's located in a big plaza with many other stores and with plenty of parking. The staff is very nice and helpful. The book selection is amazing, much better than other Bookoff locations we have been to. Books are reasonably priced and they have a large clearance section where books are $1.”

“Rare Gem of a bookstore. The book selection is vast compared to other bookstores in the Riverside area. All of the one star reviews I read here are complaining about prices and political ideologies, which are irrelevant to what this bookstore actually has on its shelves. I’m from San Diego county but will definitely stop by next time I am in the Riverside area.”

“I love supporting local book shops and they work with you on ordering books you're interested in :) I've also pre-ordered from here twice and had great experiences. The selection is diverse and the bookstore itself has book clubs sometimes. there's also a very cute dog”

“This store is great They mostly have name brand clothing items for sale they do not put everyone's junk out for sale. All the junk gets sent off to goodwill stores most of you folks are used to. That's it's all(:”

“As a recent grad, the quality of education I received was superb. Most of the professors I had were wonderful and passionate about teaching, and the topics were engaging, encouraged discussions amongst students, and welcomed different opinions and critiques. I guess I was lucky to have pretty awesome professors who cared for their students' academic learning and well-being. As a non-traditional transfer student, it does get quite challenging to meet new people, but I made a few solid connections, which I care most about. The campus is clean, and the food is not bad; it can be decent. Yes, it can be quite a walk from the parking lot to campus, but who cares? People will always find things to complain about; it's all perspective. I love the libraries and did find many fave spots to study throughout campus. One thing I will say as a transfer, I found it to be quite challenging to find work on campus even though I qualified for work-study. I'd like to add that there is a vegan burger spot within walking distance from campus; it's so good; it's called "Veg & Go Plant-Based Fast Food," honestly, the best fries I've ever had in my life. You don't have to be vegan; go there and order the fries. Anyway, this school is underrated; there are plenty of smart, cool students here, and the professors I had were amazing; they truly made me fall in love with my academic journey and my time at UCR. They challenged me to become a better writer, to think critically and deeply about current events, and inspired me always to be better and grow as a student. I would like to add that the same professors I had have taught at other UCs and had graduated from UCs and other top Ivy League universities. Honestly, one's academic experience is what we make of it, and as long as we have the intention to develop good relationships with our fellow classmates and professors, one's academic journey will be enriching. I enjoyed my time here and I would do it all over again.”

“I was expelled from Marymount College. I had my boyfriend, but he ditched me for no reason. He became interested in my friend. I couldn't focus on school work. I got bad grades. My GPA went downhill. That's what happened. I called other community colleges in California, but they all said "No" as soon as I told them that I was expelled from Marymount college. However, Riverside City College is the ONLY college which took me in despite my bad GPA. Tutors there are so patient, but because of their and professors' help, I could graduate from Riverside City College! Now, thanks to RCC, I am living my dream of being a university student.”
