“I recently visited The Book Rack, and it turned out to be a charming independent bookstore that offers a refreshing alternative to larger chain retailers. Located along Foothill Boulevard in La Verne, the shop has the classic feel of a neighborhood bookstore where visitors can take their time browsing shelves filled with a wide variety of titles.
One of the first things that stood out was the strong selection of both new and used books. The store carries an impressive range of genres including fiction, non-fiction, mystery, science fiction, and children’s books. The used book section is particularly appealing for readers who enjoy discovering older titles or finding books at more affordable prices. Because the inventory rotates regularly, each visit has the potential to reveal something new.
The layout encourages browsing, with bookshelves arranged in a way that makes it easy to move through different sections. While the store is not overly large, the space is used efficiently and feels comfortably full without being cluttered. For avid readers, that sense of exploration is part of what makes independent bookstores so enjoyable.
Another highlight of The Book Rack is the welcoming atmosphere. Independent bookstores often serve as small community hubs, and this shop reflects that spirit well. The environment feels relaxed and approachable, making it easy for customers to spend time browsing or chatting about books with fellow readers.
Overall, The Book Rack provides a classic independent bookstore experience with a solid mix of new and used books, a comfortable browsing environment, and the charm that makes neighborhood bookstores special. For anyone in the La Verne area who enjoys discovering books outside the typical big-box retail environment, it is definitely worth stopping by.”
“I love this bookstore. The staff is amazing. Always so helpful with finding books or recommendations on books. Books, stationary, and coffee.. what else can I ask for.”
“A huge selection of products other than books, plenty of places to sit, and a lot of gift ideas at every corner. Highly recommend as a place to unwind after a movie at the nearby theater.”
“I saw this place advertising on TikTok. We went to go check it out and was pleasantly surprised. I collect Blurays and DVDs of movie I want for my collection. The store also has books, CDs, and Vinyl. Everything is organized by genre, you're looking for something specific. The store also takes donations. I'll be going back.”
“The nicest (possibly only?) used bookstore in Pomona! It’s both a bookstore and neat gathering place, although it doesn’t have any coffee for sale despite the name”
“This store is great!! And the owner is super nice! Its sad how many christian stores have closed in recent times, and is a very welcoming sight that they are still going strong here... from bibles to windo decals you can find what yiur looking for here english and Spanish translations assassins well.”
“I came looking for the New York Post for the BTS Normal ad. They didn't have it, but the kind sir said the California Post was basically the same thing. He proceeded to show it to me and as he turned the pages, I spotted the ad I was looking for! If it hadn't been for his great customer service, I probably would've walked out empty-handed. I plan on coming back to explore more! Great bookstore and great service!”
“The bookstore is cool very well organized everybody in there is so nice and helpful. I love how they have a variety of each item. Some of the stuff is overpriced, but it is also worth the price.”
“My fiance and I started attending this church not too long ago. So glad that God put this church in our path. Got plugged in really fast and God is doing amazing things for the both of us”
“A store full of Christian books, statutes, cards, Bibles and much more! I love coming here. Thank you for all the work you guys put into the store being open. We are very grateful!”
“Im so Thankful for this place. I take my granddaughter there very often and we pick 2 or three books, sit on the stage and read together. She always gets to pick one book to take home and everyone is so accommodating and kind.”
“One of the employees helped me through a return and made the whole process a breeze. I was in and out in less than 10 mins. They made me feel welcomed while being professional. Both employees were warm and if this wasn't my last semester, I'd visit this bookstore more for my academic needs.”
“Before teachers touched my husband.. they gave him an EKG because of his age..his blood pressure was too high so they had us go to Kaiser.. it was a great idea because Kaiser caught a problem with John!! Thank God for this school and their care or my husband might be dead now!”

“The store is good for animes fans definitely, has figures, plushies, and more merch. I don't agree with the other reviews saying its "one of the best," the store is just too small to entertain that idea. Sakura Anime Toys just a few miles away is a better option. However, one of the main reasons why I liked the store is the pricing. Nothing there was overpriced, everything was reasonably priced and possibly under priced. I would return to this location.”
“Great selection!! The used books are so cheap and they have a variety of selection! It's located inside the diamond bar library which is really nice and tons of options! Definitely go check it out!”
“Well-curated collection of rare books in top condition, everything I pulled off the shelf was clean with really well preserved spines and pages even though many are vintage first editions. The owners clearly take a lot of pride in the quality of their books. They also have an exciting selection of signed books.
There's a big emphasis on history and culture but you can also find mystery, fantasy, and science fiction as well as a large selection of general fiction.
The shop is quiet with tall, narrow aisles to maximize space, making it a peaceful place to browse.”
“I was experiencing difficulties with the purchase of a few textbooks. The Owl Bookstore employees, moreso the manager were all very kind also helpful. It was very nice to have such great service.”

“I have a wonderful experience at this store.. Despite the store size, I have great finds and they keep this place clean and soo organized which I highly appreciate. The employees are warm and kind. I went recently and Ashley was super kind and helpful she went out of her way to reccomend cute clothes and give me helpful tips.”
“Just like any other college bookstore. Have neatly arranged stack of places for books by course. Merchandise availability is decent. Have a good computer selection.”
“My experience was very good, good service, but I found the price a little high for the clothes, a discount for new students on their first purchase would be a great thing.”
