“Great bookstore with an excellent selection across many genres. I easily and quickly found specific titles and also discovered new books to read and to gift. Staff was knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly without being intrusive.
With the See’s candy shop next door, I was able to find what I needed to treat myself)”
“An amazing local bookstore. They can special order literally any book you want. They recently renovated and opened a large side room specially for kids books and young adults. My kids love coming here and reading a swath of books and buying a few on our way out.”
“Art House & Co. is one of those shops you hope to find when wandering around Ventura — thoughtful, beautifully curated, and full of pieces that feel genuinely special. The selection is excellent, with a mix of art, home goods, and creative finds that make browsing half the fun.
What really makes the place stand out, though, is the owner. Super welcoming, passionate about the pieces in the shop, and happy to chat without ever feeling pushy. It gives the whole place a warm, personal touch that’s hard to fake.
Pro tip: Take your time browsing — there are lots of small details and unique items you might miss on a quick walk-through.”

“Great shop, but I think they should move this to one big location and have a better inventory control. Which they are doing. It would be good if they can square that away for everyone's sake.”
“There are so many helpful items here. Staff is friendly, and they answered all my questions. Will go again, and I recommend going to check out. Hey, you may just fall in love”
“Love this little gem of a bookstore. I bought an out of print Ansel Adams book for a family member. They were ecstatic! I often stop in and buy books for my specific collection as well.”
“Always a treat to stop in here. Staff is friendly and very helpful. Checkout was busy but moved quickly. Cashier 5765 was very patient and helped us place book orders! Will definitely be back again soon!”
“Came here to pick up a textbook I ordered online it's amazing how the bookstore on campus since Covid, have safer options for ordering your items online and just picking them up in store I don't want to pay shipping prices plus I live on campus so it just makes sense just to walk the extra 10 minutes to the store and back to my housing.”
“I needed a pink bible for our niece who turned 13 beginning of May. We live in Camarillo where we used to utilize Christian Family Supplies until they closed Sept 2023. I called Libreria Christiana (Shalom) and the gentleman who runs the store told me he had pink bibles in stock! I also needed it engraved in silver with our niece's name so he recommended me the woman who worked in Camarillo at Christian Family Supplies before it closed. She actually works with Libreria Christiana now and met me out at Grace Bible Church in Oxnard to have the Bible engraved. The lady who engraved the Bible was so sweet. Her name is Linda and her work is beautiful. I highly recommend Libreria Christiana! Thank you so much for everything because our niece LOVES her new Bible! 🩷✝”
