What People Are Saying About Rivendell Books...

"What a special gem. First time going there and I fell in love with books all over again. It renewed my dream of owning one some day. Very clean. Impeccable organization. You can easily lose yourself here. Staff were friendly and very informative."

Lacey Lee- October 2021 (Google Review)

"Very quaint book store. Nicely organized. Nice place to walk around and just look around for something that catches your eye. Prices are very reasonable. Some nice books for kids but overall there is something for everyone. Considering how few independent book stores are left, definitely worth checking out."

Edmond Sheregy- September 2021 (Google Review)

"Very friendly staff, knowledgeable, excellent selection.
Whether you are donating books or looking for that hidden gem this is a fantastic place to start!"
