Raven's Book Shoppe — Local services in Twentynine Palms

The best things are the friendly staff and massive selection of books. However, the aisles are cramped and shelves are overfowing onto the floor. And by cramped I mean its barely enough space for two people to pass by. Books come in far faster than they get them out. I can say that the prices are truely lower than online by whats advertised and I suspect thats why its so packed. Looked at a few items went back to confirm listed onlie price and a quick google search found near similar conditioned closer to their price than online. Before I pay near top dollar i need to know pedigree of their book grading, thus most used book stores arnt that expensive on 90+% of their books. While the entrance may accommodate wheelchairs I know it does not meet the 36" ADA guidance for aisle space for maneuvering inside the store. Let alone the allowance for 32" for sections up...

You walk into the quaint little shop and you're immediately greeted by the glorious smell of well loved books. There is an inviting children's area to occupy young ones and an extensive selection of every type of book that will make even the most senior feel like a kid in a candy shop again. The shop captures the appropriate feeling of organized chaos perfectly. At first glance it appears there are books strewn headlessly everywhere yet upon closer inspection they are neatly organized and labeled. If you can't seem to find what you are looking for the friendly owner will help you locate your treasure. The most incredible collection of fine art...

Adorable book shop with a secretly huge inventory.

From the freeway it looked very tiny but once we actually stepped inside we could see it was a winding, cavernous, glorious hideaway with book stacked to the shelves and many alleyways to discover.

A very strong vintage classic section along with some solid paranormal and parapsychology. There's small children's section right up front and every other kind of section you might possibly hope for.

This store is a secret treasure filled with books, AC, and a charming owner named Patty. I'm so glad I pulled together enough energy to check it out and hope to do so...
