My granddaughter is 20 months old her name is Josie and I love her to Pluto and back and each time I know Im going to see her I always purchase a few books for her. This was my first time at the Book Barn ever in living in Fresno for over 20 years I enjoyed it and the employees there are wonderful
Love roaming through all the books. So many to choose from and so many authors and storyline. What a great deal🤓
Had a great visit w my kids and grandma. Great books, great prices, great staff!!
Cool spot. Lots of neat old vintage books. Nice prices too...
Helpful and knowledgeable employees. Clean and organized store, plus they offer a 10% teacher discount.
Its a nice book shop, a little bit on the expensive side for secondhand books but its good for some experience~
Excellent shopping experience! Thank you very much, made my day!
Quaint location and atmosphere. They have amazingly wide selection of old and new books, in particular those hidden fantasy gems from the 70s as well as a nice selection of older edition classics (for great prices)! Also good to note they have a trade-in for store credit program :)
Absolutely magical place!!! I had the best time here! If you love books this shop is a jewel. I WILL BE BACK!!! 🥰
The staff is very nice and helpful. They always have the books im looking for at great prices. I will always get my used book here.
The gentleman was very helpful and knowledgeable about the books. Helped guide us in the right direction.
This is a huge used book store. I came looking for several things in mind and the employee helping me knew of every book on my list. Super knowledgeable and friendly people working here
Fun little bookstore with lots of used books to choose from.
Love this place! The staff is supper knowledgeable. Love going here instead of the big book stores.
Great space with books in any subject you are interested in! I could spend days there!
I love this book store! They have so many different types of books. Inside is really cool looking and the owners are so nice and helpful.
Friendly, helpful, nice ambience.Completely enjoyed my time shopping. I found every book I was looking for..plus !!!
The fantasy and sci-fi selection was a little dominated by 80s paperbacks, but we did find more diversity in other sections. Unfortunately, an otherwise enjoyable experience was dampened by an uncomfortable conversation with a male employee who told my husband that he thinks hes being original, but hes not for wanting a more popular book. It was honestly really bizarre and we were just asking simple questions. Maybe it was just a misunderstanding? Still, it did make us uncomfortable. Not really interested in returning here, ourselves, but the selection is large and hopefully this guy wont be a problem for anyone else.
Nicest people youll ever meet. Been in a have dozen times and always get the best help finding the books Im looking for.
Friendly staff & really good book selection. A small business, as well, which Ill go outta my way to support!
Amazing selection and great staff. A must visit for the book enthusiast
I won a gift certificate for $10 and was excited to come in for the first time.I was kind of surprised at how expensive their books are for being used. But they were in very good condition.And my brain had some issues with how the store is set up but that also made it a little more fun so...kept finding new nooks but was hard to know where to look for something specific. Also hard to find help to find books if you aren’t right near the counter.It’s cute but I don’t know that I’d go again as I can buy used books cheaper elsewhere.
Well organized and a varied selection of books. Sofas and chairs to sit and read.
What a fun, unique, cool place. Old books, organized shelving, nice staff.
Helpful staff and if you love the smell of books that you can actually hold to read its a great hidden treasure. Happy reading. Lifes to short to read a bad book.
It was my first time in there. Didnt look around too much as I was looking for something specific. Im looking forward to spending some time there soon!
Awesome collection. Friendly service.
Such a wonderful selection of new and old books. You can find most all of what you are looking for. They have a Very helpful staff as well.
The staff is great, welcoming, and there to assist anyone who needs help finding a book they are looking for. They also have a wide variety of books whether for college, for comfort, or research for great deals. I highly recommend giving this store a visit.
Good place for used books
I love this store and staff. Im glad they charge enough to stay in business when most used book stores have closed. I support the Book Barn because it is a significant part of the quality of life, not a great discount but certainly enough of a discount.
Like this place! Great selection on reading mateial. However very limited on books on CDs. Disappointed.
Always very helpful when trying to find a book. I love the large selection of different types of books.
Did you know actual books you can hold still exist? There is a great collection here! Great staff.
Very nice store and the staff was very helpful
Man I love this place. SO MANY BOOKS!!! Very large store, they even have an upstairs. Everything is very well organized & the store is very clean. The staff are so welcoming and friendly. Highly recommend :)
The place was cool! Nice and clean. The upstairs was a bit creeky. The first time I went, the employees were nice. But the second time, one of them tried to sell me a book higher than the price listed.
Really like this place, friendly staff.
Very expensive. The question is the ratio of donated books versus books that were procured for resale (see their website comments). If it tends toward the former then the prices are tough to justify even burdening a storefront in a wonderful spot (beautiful old town Clovis). If toward the latter then this store is for people that dont know about the internet (eg Amazon.com).Other than that, it has better selection than most used book stores. Helpful, friendly staff.
This place is great! Ive been here a few times now because I needed books for school. I was so surprised when I found the exact book I needed! They have a wide selection and have really nice copies of classics. I got the origin of species here; the copy looked like new and it was only 8 dollars!! A Book Barn is truely a great little gem in Clovis.
Such great folks. Terrific service. Want to support a locally owned small business when buying books.
Very well organized and a fun place to look for books! The prices are just right!
Good place to browse used books. Always find something. Also have book signings and author meet and greets. Quiet fun.
Place is so amazing... lost a whole hour is there just exploring. Next time I will have to bring my girls to enjoy all the wonderful books...
Great collection of used books! Lots to choose from. Friendly staff.
The Book Barn is quite the gem for those who love to find used books. The staff is always friendly. There is plenty of seating for you to relax and read on. The prices are perfect. I love the atmosphere. Sometimes I show up just to relax!
Incredible place. The selection is unrivaled, especially for out of print items. They have some very rare items as well that will intrigue many book collectors. The staff is knowledgeable and incredibly helpful. Ill be back!
Quaint little book store. Youll definitely find something good to pick up here. If not ask the more than helpful staff that work here. They seem to know just a bit about everything you could ask. They always have an answer! Love this place.
It was a very good vibe and place, and I loved how all the books were organized and arranged so neatly.
Love this book store, but I really needed more money to spend there, has a great selection of books that i had a hard time finding
The barn of books. It does look more like a library. Unsurprisingly they have book worms, though not the wormy kind. It being a barn most of their books are domesticated but you will find the odd wild book hiding in their shelves. You never know whats lurking on the next shelf. And if you have ever wanted to finish a book but did not want the book to finish, you will find these shelves are much the same. If only they sold coffee and the days had more hours. Anyway I think they closed for a bit during the Rona but they are open now.Tl;Dr here there be books.
Great selection. Friendly staff. Good prices.
Absolutely love this book store. They have a great selection of all different genres. The owner is super nice and knowledgeable in stories and books and their associated films or series
I absolutely love this place. Everyone who works here is incredibly friendly. They truly get to know their customers and make you feel a part of their family. I come here often just to find something new to read and sit in one of their several chairs/couches that are hidden in the nooks and crannies. Its a lovely, cozy store and it has become a second home to me! Definitely check it out! Their poetry section is amazing too by the way! :)
All of the staff here are amazing with their knowledge of books and authors! They always have the answer to my questions and most of all they remember everyone.
This is one of the best used bookstores Ive ever been too. Gracious employees abd a huge selction of amazing books.
If youre a book worm, youll love this store. I went in looking for a very specific book and found it easily. They have the books well organized first by topic and then in alphabetical order by the authors name. Plenty of cozy places to sit and read. Its kind of like being in a library but with the feeling of a cute coffee shop. Only thing missing is a coffee bar.
So many books. Their pricing is a little funny though. We saw a childs book that came in a McDonalds happy meal marked at $3. Thats almost as much as the meal. Otherwise everything else is great. Most fiction and childrens books are on the bottom floor and all else is upstairs. We come here a lot. A huge variety. Lots of things that would be hard to find elsewhere
Best used book store in the Fresno-Clovis area.
If you a chance to visit, then do so you will be glad you did. I look forward to going again soon.
Wow. Great book store. Lots of variety. Good ambience. Chairs and couches everywhere. Incredible vintage children and adult books. Local authors too.
Very helpful. Called in advance to see if they had item and also remembered they had stairs. Im temporarily on walker, he had me sit down, researched both upstairs and online, writing down what I was looking for. They have consistently always been helpful and courteous on phone and in person. They know their stuff.
One of my favorite places to go. They always have new stuff
I like this place. Lots of vaiety of books. The only thing, a very small shell of audio books. 😟
Always s great experience.
Always enjoy spending time at BOOK BARN!
Book barn is literally heaven on earth. I wish it was closer to my house in LA Co. Every time we visit Fresno/Clovis, we HAVE to stop in and load up. The prices are amazing, the staff is so kind and helpful... We even got to pet Joy the therapy dog last time! It is a wonderful place and Ill be back (again and again)!
Isles and Isles of books! They have two floors for you to look through. One caveat, there is so much that nothing is cataloged
Its a nice, quiet, comfortable place. Great if you love the feel and aesthetic of old used books as well as a good place to get some slightly used in good shape reading material. And for good prices !
I take my kids in on Wednesday for Mother Goose story hour. Always greeted with a friendly hello as we walk in the door. I have been able to add some great childrens books to our library without breaking the bank.
Very nice place, was able to find the last book I needed for a trilogy I wanted plus other books on my want list.
Love this place. Sure a tablet full of books is great for traveling, but nothing beats the real thing. Outstanding staff, eclectic variety of books in a unique two level store. They also do great events for the community.
The staff are very friendly and welcoming! They have a great selection of books with a clean store and double floors!!
This shop has a very helpful and friendly staff. The selection is large and covers many topics. Ive found fantasy and fiction as well as non fiction books on topics from animal husbandry to Yoga. The space is nice to browse and there are chairs where you can spend a little time deciding on a title. Ive found some amazing gems here and I will return to find more and more.
This place is LOADED with all kinds of great reads! It is laid out like a library with signs noting Fiction, Non-Fiction, Reference, etc.... Received a friendly greeting on the way in! Definitely planning a return trip!
Great selection of used and new books. Some rarities if youre willing to hunt. Prices can vary, but overall an amazing place. Staff is always willing to help, but leaves you to browse at your own pace.
Fantastic book options. They take care of them real well. The employees always get back to you and are friendly.
Absolutely love this place! Have a great selection unless you are looking for the absolute newest stuff.Also very fair pricing and a great library like atmosphere.
Always amazing and never disappoints. I can never walk out the door without an armful of books. The staff is ALWAYS helpful and full of knowledge. Will always come back.
Great service. Large variety
Cosy store with a great variety of books.Very nice staff☺
Found my favorite book there thanks to the amazing service!
Found a whole bunch of Perry Mason books which I bought. Its a good place to find older books.
I love the Book Barn because if you need some help deal get the book for you or the order you want if they can find it
Only had a short time to look around, but was impressed by the number of books available. Prices are reasonable and the books are in good shape. My only complaint is that they are not open on Sunday.
Great place to buy new and used books with good prices!
My favorite bookstore in the world. Such amazing people and prices you cant beat. I love the homey feel.
Fantastic, cozy place with a huge selection of books of all genres. Staff is friendly and helpful. Great prices on a lot of great old books.
Best place in town
Staff was VERY kind, courteous and helpful. Large... Actually, huge supply of used books. This is the place to visit if you want good quality used books for a fraction of the original price.
Large and comforting old fashioned second hand bookstore with knowledgeable and friendly staff. Reasonably priced books witu a glorious collector corner of first edition and signed copies. Wonderful
Teachers get a discount.Wide range of book selection.Lots of fun finds.
I always have an awesome experience when I go there!!! Very friendly and helpful and know how to make your experience a great one!! Thanks again for all the help finding all my David Eddings books, you guys rock!!!
