“Can I just say how nice it is to still have a bookstore to go to? This is one is the same as ever, lots of selection, nice staff who love books who are willing to help.”
“This is a good-sized bookstore here in blue back square. They have a large selection here and a friendly staff.
There is parking in the near-by parking garage.
The area is nice. Last time we were in the area, they had live music being performed outside of here.”
“We had a great time making "Snailentines" and listening to the Valentine story last Saturday with my 3 year old granddaughter -- well done River Bend ❣️”

“This is a modest house, a second house this Block Buster author, probably equivalent to Star Wars of the time, built for herself...yes, this was before women were legally allowed to own her own property in the US! I was surprised at the popularity of Uncle Tom's cabin..you see a room of after effects not only in books and paraphernalia, but on wall paper produced at the time and restaurants being named after it. Our guide was a fantastic woman with a degree is sociology and it came through. She was friendly and open and made our tour interactive. She truly made our tour special. I learned so much about the time Stowe lived in and the Protestant minister father who made her a Catholic! Her 5 brothers all became ministers like their father...the two brothers who did not cut it, committed suicide! I felt immersed in the time while touring.”
“Subhanallah!!! Great variety of Islamic books all fairly priced and in excellent condition. I had a wonderful experience here and the gentleman working at the time was very kind and helpful. I will definitely be heading back to see what else they have in the store, In sha Allah!!!”
“Never had a problem and I've been going here for a year straight by now. Knowledgeable and friendly staff- if they don't know the answer they'll find it for you. No problems with returns, rentals, swaps or non-book purchases, and there are plenty of those to make in this little store! They have a sale area for note books, pens and little things. Name brand backpacks and plenty of Tunxis apparel to choose from! They know when there stock comes and goes- feel comfortable asking them for help- they are good people in my experience with them.”
“Ben was so knowledgeable and we really enjoyed speaking with and learning from him. The shop itself is a great mix, has a great flow, and is a beautiful, as well as calming, environment.”
