I love this store! A wonderful selection of used books, lovingly curated, for very reasonable prices. They also always have an interesting array of craft supplies, linens, sewing patterns, cards and games. Owners are lovely people! I love to bring in my used books to trade in for store credit so I can get more books! Highly recommend a visit - you will certainly find something worth reading and may even catch a glimpse of the elusive shop cat (he's a shy but handsome boy).
Very well kept, organized shop. If you don’t see what you want ask the lady for help most likely has it in the back. Very sweet lady. Thank you for the help.
This place is excellent. It was the first bookstore we stopped at on the Canada leg of our roadtrip. For me, it was their selection of speculative fiction that sealed the deal. I think I walked out with 13 books, mostly vintage DAW paperbacks. Highly, highly recommended (especially if you like SF and Fantasy). Very neat and clean, orderly, easy to browse. We spoke to the gentleman at the counter for a little while as we checked out and he was very funny and kind. And if all that hasn’t sold you, there was also a cat. 10/10 would definitely stop here again.
Friendly reminder: If you have a large number of books, be sure to take photos and record the books before sending them. In addition, the books that the other party "kindly" packs for you may contain some faces you don't recognize or have never seen. If you tell them about your situation, they will ask you to provide a list of the lost books. At that time, your only choice is to call the police.（If you see a hardcover biography of Hollywood star Sophia Loren in this store, don't buy it, it's stolen goods!）
Stopped in on a whim and ended up buying over a dozen books. They really have a little of everything, and the gentleman who was working made some great recommendations for me. The prices are awesome as well. I would highly recommend stopping in and looking around. I will be back the next time I'm in town.
As a lover of books, and in particular independent used book stores, The River Trading Company is one of the best I’ve ever been in. Their selection is wide ranging and the prices are the lowest I’ve ever seen in a used book store. Also, the store cat is a 10/10.
Cool little store to wander around in. Nice selection of used books. I like looking at their old rare books too. Have been back a few times in last year and I'm definitely giving 5 stars to this great book store.
