Readers' Books

A true, independent, family owned bookstore w/great staff...one of whom became US Poet Laureate in 2022!

Just the loveliest little book shop. My friend and I were visiting Sonoma on a rainy day and we stumbled upon this place. We spent about an hour here checking out all the books. We loved how some books had little notes of recommendation from the staff. Their displays were perfect. They had a display about cleaning and tidying up for the new year and I stumbled upon the book has changed me so much already this year called The Life Changing Manga of Tidying Up. Had it not been for their amazing little display I would have never found the book and made the changes in my life. Will definitely stop by here again whenever we visit Sonoma.

Fantastic place for gift giving for sure. I mean I'm sure you can shop here even when it's not holiday season due to the very reasonable price, but I was shopping here for my brother in-law today. Awesome and knowledgeable customer service was all around the quaint shop. Everyone had a smile on their face. From the workers, all the way to the customers....like me!

Love this bookstore. It is not overwhelming like a big box bookstore. The team is super helpful and courteous. I moved to Sonoma three months ago and was worried that I would have to travel to another city for reading material. Not the case! Readers' Books will be my first choice when searching for a good novel.

This store is wonderful to visit. They are great about ordering what they don't have in stock. I've always been pleased with their customer service. When my daughter is with me they give her a sticker which makes her day. Love shopping local here!

I love to visit local bookstores in towns I visit.
This one meets+exceeds expectations...right sized, good selection without overabundance. Super knowledgeable staff, especially one woman who spoke in sentences, which ,if written, would be beautiful prose...almost poetry.
I was eavesdropping on her conversation with a customer she was helping to special order a book. I was fascinated and captivated by her style. It's worth a journey to the store , perhaps just to hear her speak..and of course...but a book to support local!

Ever since 1979, when I moved to Sonoma Valley, I have been a fan of this sincere, well stocked, unique and friendly bookstore! Locally owned, community oriented, and full to the brim with books of every category, Readers' is five star all the way!

The salesperson was amazing. We were looking for a gift for 2 teenage boys. We knew nothing about the boys so she had a tough task ahead of her. She gave us 4-5 options and then let us be. She also told us not to worry about putting the books back. Great service!

Awesome local bookstore and love that they bring authors in to town for talks/signings. Keep up the great work!

Great selection. Knowledgeable staff. These folks are readers! Best small-town bookstore ever. The children's section is also excellent.

Reader's Books is a town treasure. I've been buying books here for years. The staff is incredibly knowledgable and customer oriented. They also host lectures and events that relate to and are of interest to the full time community here! if you can't tell, I LOVE Reader's Books!

Great selection of quality new releases, gorgeous reference works and many timeless literary classics! This store really is a serious reader’s paradise. Used books also available. Community hub for locals.

Love Andy and glad his store is still holding up. Right off the Plaza it's clean and cluttered like all bookstores should be. Smells like old books and nostalgia.

Medium sized bookstore carrying both used and new books. Wide collection. Used books have a sticker on the spine + price on the first page. Fair. Smells like a book store!

Great selection of books for foodies and wine-lovers. Also, nice children's section. Many of their "used" books, look brand new.

it was lovely . they were super nice and they gave off warm vibes and my sister and i loved it

Great locally owned bookstore with helpful, knowledgeable staff and a wonderful selection. Community events and free gift wrapping!
