“Lovely little local used book store. Book prices aren’t cheap, but you’re obviously going to pay more supporting a local business than if you purchase off amazon. Their website is great for looking at their selection ahead of time, which I’ve never seen another shop do! Will be coming back soon, even just to enjoy the environment”
“gundam prices are solid for HG and RGs considering if you order from any other business online that you have to pay $10 shipping. You have to be careful with MGs because there's a few here $10-15 too expensive.”
“As soon as you cross the threshold, you're met with the wonderful smell of ink on paper. Plenty of seating, to sit down and browse. Wide aisles that you can stand in or kneel and check the shelves out. And if you're feeling up to it, do a little impulse shopping for some really interesting gifts, journals, pens and more for yourself or someone else. Conclude your visit with a coffee and a pastry whilst leafing through your purchases.”
“Very happy to have such a wonderful place to get recovery gifts and such compassionate service from those who work there. Truly a blessing that this place exists!!”
“Deseret Book in Southern California is a spiritual haven and a gem for anyone seeking uplifting content, meaningful gifts, or simply a place to feel closer to God. Every time I walk in, I’m greeted with kindness and genuine warmth from the staff. Whether I’m searching for a new book, Church materials, or just want to browse through inspiring artwork and music, this store never disappoints.
The Spirit is truly present here.
I always leave feeling more grounded and uplifted. Thank you, Deseret Book, for being a light in the community.
Warm regards,

“Very adorable bookstore. A classic environment with a great selection of books. One of my favorite bookstores this side of the Mississippi!!! Definitely check it out!”
“This is my favorite place to buy gifts and cards for my friends and family in the faith! every translation and style of Bible available. Something for everybody. Proceeds go to good causes!”
“Such a great bookstore. I was able to buy bilingual books for my great-nieces when they started language immersion classes. And then libros en espanol once they were older. The selection of books in English and Espanol is always worth checking out. If you go on Saturday or Sunday, the pop=up coffee bar has good coffee and even sells stickers. Well worth a visit! Also, you can buy books online through Bookshop.org and help out this incredible independent bookstore.”
“Ordered another ministry book and the process was very simple. I have ordered both on line and over the phone. Ordering is easy- user friendly. Person working the bookstore this morning was knowledgeable (sorry I didn’t get your name) and helpful.I will be purchasing again! Much food (Christ) to be experienced and enjoyed! There is never a shortage of food (Christ)!!!”
“I love how they've become more Indie-like in recent years. I just wish they would change their hours or change their tactics. They make you feel very unwelcome after 8:00 or so. They make announcements often, go around telling you they are closing, at 8:30 ask you to make final decisions, lock the entry way early. I understand people get distracted in bookstores. I understand they don't want to stay late. I just think stores that simply change their hours to help with that become much more welcoming to the customer.”

“It was kinda hard to find the new shop location but I was happy when I did. I love the dragons eye perfume oil rollers! Recently broke mine so I got some new ones! Apple
Maps will send you next door. It’s actually the 2 story yellowish tan building before the place it takes you. They are located in the back near the white brick wall. It says Sweet tooth with a sign above. I’m sure that’s the place upstairs.”
“Stopped by on a whim, the staff is nice and helpful. Was able to find what I was looking for and some future recommendations. I would visit again when I’m in the area.”
“I've ordered several times and really love the service, speed of delivery and the condition my packages arrive in. So many great books available. Multiple shipping options and reasonable pricing.”

“Went here many years ago to get a St. Benedict medal. The cashier was so helpful in guiding me where to go to get it blessed. I travelled far but it was so worth the visit. Thanks so much!”
“The most beautiful Catholic Store I have ever been! I felt as if the Holy Spirit guided me to this store to find the necessary the Rosary and St. Michael statue. The lady who works behind the register is genuinely the most God-spirited woman I met who went out of her way to help me out to find anything I needed, she even waived off the price for the Magnificent Book. What a lovely environment. God Bless St. Joseph Catholic Books.”

“A really cute ma & pa shop. A Fullerton staple, most definitely! The shop really is half off (check the original price heheh) and they have a ton of different genres. I’ve been many times and they have foreign books all the time. Recently, I went during a fire sale, where they sell used books very cheap. I got books on drawing, culture, comics, etc.. it was honestly a great bargain. Support a local business and stop on by!”
“Jazmine at the Customer Service Department is great. She assisted me with all my concerns and even remembered my face when I came back. Thank you for a great experience at the Bookstore”
“Large selection of books, but sacrifices the amount of records for too many mangas. It is unlikely you will find what you are looking for, so you are better off going to the fashion island one with a larger selection.”
“This shop is really nice, I actually bought a pair of AirPods in here once and I was completely satisfied with my purchase. I also bought a cap to wear and it looks very nice on me. This store has pretty much everything a student at college would need like laptops, headphones, books, art supplies and merchandise. The shop has a 2nd floor but I have not seen what’s upstairs unfortunately, but this store is very awesome.”
“Haven't been to Barnes& Noble in years! I didn't think it would be busy considering all of the digital books available these days. But this place was slammed. They don't match any other stores so I would recommend searching Amazon and eBay before purchases.”
“Wow, what a great little spot. It's rare to find a used bookstore and this one is awesome. So many books and pretty clearly organized. The service is also super friendly and warm. Will return when I'm in the area.”
“Super cute bookstore! We stopped during a rainstorm during our beach trip and had such a fun time! The owner was super knowledgeable and gave us some great recommendations. The shop is well stocked and has a great selection.”
“Wide selection and great prices. I have been searching for a book store that sells used books at reasonable prices and this one did not disappoint. I will definitely be making this a regular spot. The service was also great and I love when I can support a local business. Thank you for being here! ?”
“Cleanest, most organized BOOK OFF ever! Everything is so well organized which makes browsing for any item so easy. We found so many books and dvds on our list. Plus the staff where all very friendly and welcoming. We'll definitely be visiting this location again.”
“It is the only Korean bookstore in Orange County. The owners are all nice and kind. I often order books that are hot topics and books that interest me while listening to Booktuber. Booktuber recommends Reading Birch Tree, Book Korea, and Sonana's Library! Great for reading books. It's a good day, but I already have 650,000 subscribers... .”
“I will start with Roza, a Blessing to us from the Lord Jesus. Her life testimony is certainly a Blessing. Trial after trial, her family had, but the Lord brought them through. She has been at this business location for 37 years. She is a true walking and talking minister of the Lord. Her business has many different items, mostly in Spanish. She speaks 3 languages, Russian, English, and Spanish. This beautiful person, still drives and does a jail ministry with other women. Stop by and visit, and you will be Blessed.”
“I feel so sad about the sudden passing away of Fr. Perez, he started this church. But his death did not amount to nothing. It only flourished more the old traditional way of saying Mass. I have been Blessed by meeting good priests here too the likes of which is Fr. Starbuck and others, I have been thankful to God that there’s one like this in Orange County, truly a gem!! Hope to see more faithful flocking here. God bless!”

“Exceptional Service from Michael!
I recently had the pleasure of being assisted by Michael, and I couldn't be more impressed with his customer service. From the moment we started interacting, he was incredibly attentive and genuinely interested in helping me. He listened carefully to my needs and went above and beyond to ensure all my questions were answered thoroughly.
Michael's knowledge and professionalism were truly outstanding. He clearly knew his stuff and was able to provide clear, concise explanations without making me feel rushed or unheard. What really stood out was his positive attitude and willingness to find the best solution for me. It's rare to encounter such a dedicated and pleasant individual in customer service.
Thanks to Michael, my experience was smooth, efficient, and genuinely enjoyable. He's a true asset and deserves significant recognition for his excellent work!”
