“The selection of books is diverse. The quality of the used books I saw was quite impressive - I purchased a 60 year old textbook that looks almost pristine. There's also a display of merch from the Unemployed Philosopher's Guild, which instantly adds tremendous appeal. The prices are competitive- we spent less than $7 and came away with two books and a really cute set of fridge magnets.The store itself is bright, well laid out, and tidy. The staff are friendly and professional - they're made sure we were attended to without being overly present, and they offered to special order something we couldn't find.My favorite part of the experience, however, was Fred. We love Fred. Please say hi to him for us.”
“I am OBSESSED with this store. They have a really good selection of occult books, RPG stuff, and *squeals* they have Cthulhu plushies! I love Cthulhu. Oh and they have postcards! And cool buttons. And yeah, I’m obsessed.”
“Riffraff Books in PVD, is a one-of-a-kind gem that combines a curated selection of books with a hip neon bar atmosphere. Whether you're a bookworm searching for hidden literary gems or some tea and pastry this is for you.Bro their book Selection: is WILD but in a good way. You won't find the lastest book ghost written book by James Patterson or Danielle Steele here. This bookshop is devoted to independent, and alternate presses and even has some zines. You're sure to find something unexpected and delightful to add to your bookshelf. It's always a fun time to walk here and the factory living and working center they're located in is beautiful for the city to revitalize an old mill!!!!!!”
“A really fun bookstore in the heart of Providence. The displays are great, usually the flat lays include a book or two that I am looking for. The coolers for soft drinks/waters are also a nice feature.”
“My first opportunity to attend an event here and though the event was enjoyable, I found myself quite smitten by the eclectic and unassuming products in the gift shop....To be honest, I wandered in there to take a phone call & was pleasantly surprised.
Equally charming was a gentleman playing what is I believe a ukulele outside of the restroom and as I turned left, I noticed the Jonathan Bonner Exhibit...
I love art and true to form: A little boy saw a box with a tongue sticking out & I saw the belt my Immigrant Mom used to ensure excellent report cards & inspire higher education in us⭐OR Megan Thee Stallion...”
“This is the most impeccably organized Barnes and Noble I have ever been to, and I’ve been to a lot! I loved the puzzles and games section, as well as the records section. Lovely place to wander.”
“Books on the Square punches above its weight. Everyone on staff is very kind and their $1 books and used book deals cannot be beat. I also really enjoy their selection of Rhode Island specific trinkets and cards and I always come here when I am shopping for gifts.”
“It is a great little store when looking to purchase a book as a gift, it doesn't seem to be the fun kind of store where someone could spend hours looking through the stacks.”
“It was cool. The tarot card reader was okay, nice lady, and she said a few interesting things. I think the reading was pretty good and mostly entertaining. I bought a few gemstones while I was at the shop. They had a pretty good selection, display items and jewelry too. I recommend supporting the business. Give them a try.”
“I love this store so much. Books, jewelry, games, dishware, children's toys, assorted knick knacks, cards/stationary. All very high quality items. Sad the location near me is being consolidated, but I will definitely visit the one in Barrington in the future!”
“A perfect shop to visit for Catholic and Christian gifts, books, rosaries, statues, and jewelry. Volunteer operated and all profits go to the St Vincent de Paul Society which serves the poor and the elderly.”
“Most incredible experience my daughter has ever had. Her goal is to attend Brown, so on vacation we decided to check out the bookstore and grab a souvenir. The staff there was so incredible including one amazing woman who decided to bless it forward. It made the entire vacation. We cannot thank her enough. Hopefully she sees this time know how much it meant. Loyal future Brown kid!”
“Thank you for steaming the mass each Sunday. As we all shelter in place, it has been a wonderful and essential part of our daily prayer and Sunday spiritual communion.”
“Can't thank the staff here enough! During my two years of being a student here, I know I can always come hear if I have questions about anything needed for my classes. Michaelle is soo knowledgable she even gives you deets on which classes actually use the books. And Orlando is always at the front, rain or shine, busting through orders, no brakes on this guy. They even price match other US based booksellers!”

“Heaven for artists. Everything you need to buy for your project except creativity. Huge paper section. (I bought some Italian paper/prints of flowers, mushrooms, birds, etc for about $6 each that I plan to frame.) They have a huge selection of journals, too. Michaels is a consumerist joke compared to this store. Honestly, you could spend two hours here, salivating.”
“This bookstore is pretty tucked away, and confusing for first time visitors. I’ve used google maps to drive here and it always leaves you up the street. Go down that one way street, across the gated parking lot there’s an opening with a sign up top. Then stay to the left, down the stairs to a shady looking basement—that’s the bookstore.The actual store itself is your run of the mill university bookstore. It’s got affordable school supplies, overpriced snacks and JWU apparel. I’ve picked up all of my textbooks here without a problem, and 5 minutes tops. There’s an older gentleman who works the desk and has for years and he’s very polite and helpful. Ask him for help if you need it.”
“It's an absolute gem! The guy who works there had the audacity to approach me and ask what interests me. I couldn't believe he did that, but once I survived that terrifying experience, I was exposed to some of the best ephemera I'd ever seen. It was as well-curated as some of the best museums you'll ever be in without the whiteness and hostility that usually accompanies those environments.”

“This store is amazing. If you need or want a bible or anything related, this is the best place to get it. They have a wide range of Christian material. They offer help when you need it. And give you space when you need it. I traveled from Pawtucket just to go here. And I will be back. This place is great. And the people who work here are amazing.”
