Lido Village Books

Great indie book store! Everytime we're around, we try to go by. They've ordered special requests for me, recommended some titles that I loved (and a few that weren't for me, but I passed them on to a good home. If you're in the area, especially anyone playing Newport 2083, stop by, they are worth it!

My favorite book store in the area! They are so friendly the second you walk through the door and are always open to giving recommendations. I love that they can order books for you (and quickly!) if they don’t already have them.

This will remind you why independent book stores are ALWAYS the way to go. Fantastic selection, well laid out with friendly staff who seemed to have read absolutely everything and had fantastic recommendations. You could spend hours here no problem. Great kids section too

I went here this morning with my husband. We bought some books. I asked the man there for a novel recommendation and he gave me 4. He was very helpful in explaining the premises for each novel and choose quite a variety. We left with 4 books and a baby book. I’m looking forward to reading the novel and of course coming back to this bookstore for more.

I’m always in search for local bookshops in Orange County, and this dainty bookshop, located in lovely Lido Marina Village, is now one my favorite places to find new reads. Definitely coming back and recommending it to friends.

Great local bookstore. Excellent selection and friendly people!

Great little bookshop tucked into a corner inside Lido village. Great quiet escape from the moment you walk in. They have a great selection of both books and gifts. The coffee table book selection is outstanding! Love this little shop!

Great little bookstore with a very nice selection of books. Definitely a good resource.

Small store but good selection and very helpful staff. Was in town for vacation and was able to find some good reads for me and the kids. Would definitely recommend.

A cute bookstore with small selections of each genre. The lady at the front desk was really sweet and provided a lot of information.

My favorite bookstore! 10 years +! I usually send Michelle an email with my requests, pay online, and then when I've got time I can walk over and pick them up from the little table in front. This cozy space doesn't have room for all the titles out there, but I'm so much happier ordering from a local shop. The best!

All of the staff here are extremely friendly and helpful, the location is perfect since it's right next to the beach, and the store has a very diverse and interesting selection. Best independent bookshop I've been to! 11/10 recommend!

Book shop tucked into the storefronts that is a perfect stop off. Kids and adults alike can find a new book to add to their collection. Reading pillows and sitting area for the kids while you browse and very helpful employees who can lookup and find all kinds of relevant material you may be interested in. Process we're not inflated and we'll worth spending the money at a local shop!

Great little shop. Took a couple of kids here to pick out their own birthday gifts and there was a great selection of books for a preschooler and two elementary aged youth. The kids had fun looking at books and we left with an armful of books for under $40.

Five star book store with a happy and helpful owner always there and ready to assist. One recent visit I brought some guests from out of state and we were each gifted a free book about Newport’s history. Novel experience with a lot of charm!

great selection, friendly staff

Super cute space, really patient and knowledgeable service, and a diverse and relevant collection.

Definitely a valuable addition to the Orange County bookstore ecosystem.

Straight out of a movie!! I love Lido Village Books! Friendly, helpful employees and a warm atmosphere make me want to return again and again. Yes, we could buy a book for less on Amazon, but supporting small business and being able to peruse books in person, is worth it to me. They have a great selection of all genres.....for kids too! Bookish gifts and a few chairs, which beckon you to sit and stay a bit as you decide your next literary selection, make your visit even more enjoyable. Treat yourself.....visit Lido Village Books!📚

Lido Village Books is small but mighty and their cairfully curated selection of books never fails to inspire a good purchase The bredth of genres on offer is impressive for such a small venue and the compact nature of the shop is one of it's best assets. Having so many great books in close proximity to one another cuts out the time wasting of traipsing around a large chain bookstore to hunt down a hidden gem. I find their staff picks to be on point, having purchased a couple of them and thoroughly enjoying them both. This little shop is definitely worth a visit if you like to read and are looking for some inspiration, or just miss the tactile experience of book shopping that is slowly disappearing with the advent if online shopping and can be an unispiring chore at a chain bookstore.

Was an amazing atmosphere with a very helpful worker. They had great recommendations! Will be back!
