Excellent! Any request, they can fulfill. They can offer personal recommendations for yourself or for a gift. Service is always personal and friendly. The store is tiny yet full of choices from every genre.

Love supporting local bookstore, Russo's. While they are small, I ordered a book online and they had it for pick up two days later. I appreciate the way they support local authors and host readings for them, something a large chain will not do for self-published writers. Well done Russo's Bookstore.

I do miss their old location but I was thrilled to find Russo's was still around. I don't recall ever having a bad experience back in the day when they were located at The Marketplace and trust me I used to visit them there all the time. Now that I'm older I feel that the book store grew with me. Their stock may be a bit smaller than it was back in the day but the customer service is just as kind and helpful.

Accidentally called Russo books. the guy named Jason hung up on me--I called him back to say I'm sorry I accidentally called you. At least you could do is to say goodbye but he hung up on me again rude. Never go there again.
