Renaissance Book Shop

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.

I've been looking for a Red State DVD by Kevin Smith. Found it here. Great place for books, music, or movies, and a great selection of all. The owner has a lot of knowledge and loves to share it with his customers.

Nice little place to go treasure hunt if you have a genre rather than one specific book in mind. There are tons of books, and many are stacked so it could be hard to navigate through. Owner is kind and helpful. The second hand books here are in good condition with discounts. A cozy bookstore that I would recommend to my friends.

They go a ton of books almost to many. And they can get more if they don't have it.

I love this little place. There's so much to peruse; I always find something to take home! If I'm looking for something in particular the owner has always been super helpful, either by helping me find it in the store or by letting me know when it will be in.

I absolutely love this place and definitely need to update this review when I get better pictures. This is one of my favorite book stores, and going in there made my day. There is such a vast selection of rare books and dvds.The owner and his granddaughter are the sweetest and are so passionate about what they do. They are always willing and eager to help as well. Being here is like a safe, happy place. Thank you so much for making my day. I will definitely be back to score those rare manga and anime dvds!!

Love the calm energy of the spot. Had a plethora of great books to choose from! Also loved the variety of CD/DVD's.

Owner was very helpful and was a pleasent fellow to be around

Super knowledgeable owner. I sell my extra books here every time I'm back in town. Reasonable prices, especially with store credit.

Renaissance has a great selection of books as well as a kind and knowledgeable owner. When the book I needed for school wasn't available, he was able to order one for me. Thanks again!

Great bookstore! Owner is very knowledgeable and helpful. Large selection of books. We'll worth your visit.

One of the best local and used book stores around. Very helpful and knowledgeable. Don't let the haphazard appearance fool you he now where everything is ;)

Huge selection. Owner knows what he is talking about. Firmly recommended.

Very knowledgeable owner and a great selection. I came in with one book in mind, got it reasonable priced, a d bought 8 others!

Excellent selection of books!! I couldn't remember the author exactly, but with one clue.. I was handed the exact book I was Hoping for!!

I've been here a few times and have ordered movies and books. Best bookstore ever!! I travel from Upland.

Fantastic service every time, great atmosphere in-store as well, this guy has incredible vibes and I always find what I'm looking for.

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.

My daughters love the great selection of books and the friendly help

The owner was present, helpful and knowledgeable...lots of books, all genres. I will stop here again.

It's a great book shop with lots of rare and unique items
