Red Rock Books

The best bookstore in the area. The selection is phenomenal and I love stopping by to see Oliver, the shop cat.

Wow, what a gem of a book shop. And it's much more than just books. We had only a few minutes to see it all and it is surprisingly big inside, with new and used books, even stuff my kids like, such as Soul Eater. We were greeted by a huge cat, which was probably the best part of our whole day. I like how the used books are merchandised kinda all over each other, with each shelf full to the brim. It's actually nicely organized by genre, with an incredible amount in each genre (I've never seen so many vintage romance novels in my life). There are chairs here and there which invite you to sit and stay a while. The children's book room has things to play with. I can see this becoming a favorite place to visit.

This store is has a great selection and the storekeeper was really chatty and soft. Worth stopping in if you like good priced books and cats

Red Rock Books is like two bookstores in one and much bigger than I expected! New books and gifts are mostly in the front and used books are in the back. I was able to find some used books that have been on my list for a while. Unlike most used bookstores, the temperature was very pleasant in the store, and I felt comfortable browsing for hours on end. No legitimate bookstore would be complete without a resident cat and this one has an orange tabby. We came up from Tehachapi to visit and will definitely be back. It was totally worth the drive. The prices were reasonable for used books in good to excellent condition. The staff was friendly, too. Support your local bookstore!

A Ridgecrest gem. Great for unique gifts as well. Wonderful cook book section. Recommend

7/12/21 Red Rock BooksDespite the circumstances of being stranded in RidgeCrest, CA after getting a flat tire on the 395 South heading home to Los Angeles... I had a great experience here.This family owned business seems honorable and honest. Staff very knowledgeable. Very Friendly. Huge supply of books.We need more honest businesses like this in the LA area, so cute and homey. My daughter Loved her experience here and can't wait to go back. I hope no one ever has to deal with a flat tire on the side of the highway, but if they do... I hope you find a business like this... to brighten up their day.Highly Recommend! Great experience.

What a fun book store! Great stop off with the kids... my kids love cat and Oliver was so sweet with them!!! Highly recommended!!!!

Used books, new books, comics, lunchboxes, bookmarks oh my! Great store to spend an hour in. They have a friendly cat to pet while you read a book too.

This bookstore is lovely, and my visits are always a treat. The used books are affordable and always in excellent shape. The rare times I've wanted something new that they don't have in store, I can order from bookshop.org and ensure that my money goes back to Red Rock Books instead of another corporate behemoth. I really appreciate that!I also love digging through their other trinkets, and I like to buy incense here. Plus it's always a delight to catch a sighting of Oliver, the shop cat. He's a sweetie.This is a small town bookstore, so if you expect to walk through halls of brand new books or be fawned over by customer service people, you might be in the wrong place (you might also be on the wrong planet). But if you like local bookstores that feel cozy and quirky and friendly, this is definitely it. You'll almost certainly find what you came in for and a two-foot-tall pile of extras to go with it.

This is my new favorite bookstore! You can spend hours here looking through the massive selection of books. They have a good selection of local history, which I appreciate.
