Red Rock Books — Local services in Ridgecrest

Went today to find a couple new books. As we drove by, the lights in the store were on and there was a sign that said "open" in large print, so we stopped. Got out of the car and walked by three people standing to the side and the woman rudely asked where I was going. I said the bookstore. She said they were closed and I said ok. She wanted to know why I thought they were open and I said the lights and the open sign made me think so. The man snapped at me that there was no open sign. They were both very rude and acted like I had done something wrong. I started walking back to my vehicle and they continued with rude comments to me "We've been standing outside for TEN minutes, we are CLOSED!!!". I was very disappointed, not because they were closed, but because of their rude attitudes. My husband and I just moved here and I guess we will not be going back to this bookstore.

Like an old friend you dearly love but didn't know still lived in town, Red Rock Books has all the perks and whimsy of the independent used bookstore, but carries enough new books and other fun new stuff that maybe just maybe they will survive the modern era's lost connection to the physical book.

The kids will love their very own reading room, and the material selection awesomely cradle to grave. In true to independent bookstore form, authors from various viewpoints and experiences are represented. Great place to...

I recently visited Red Rock Books in Ridgecrest, and I must say, it's a hidden gem in the high desert city. With over 7,000 square feet of both new and used books, the selection is vast, and the atmosphere is incredibly welcoming.

I was particularly drawn to their spiritual section, where I found two profound books related to Ramakrishna. These books have added significant value to my spiritual journey, and I'm grateful to Red Rock for having them in stock.

The store's unique gifts, comfy seating, and friendly feline greeter add to the charm, making it a place where you can truly feel at home. Their commitment to the community, evident in their support for various local organizations, makes them more than just a bookstore.

Whether you're a local or just passing through, I highly recommend stopping by Red Rock Books. Their exceptional service and diverse collection are sure to provide something...
