Russo's Books

"Russo's Books has served the Southern San Joaquin Valley since 1989. Now operating out of a showroom office setting, Russo's continues to assist the general public and area schools and businesses. Russo's actively supports area author and literacy events." The Russo Family (Tony & Kathleen and their children Michael, Anna-Marie, Patricia, and John) have owned and operated Russo's Books since 1989. In that time, the company has grown and flourished to become Bakersfield's premier independent bookstore. To maintain the high-level of service one would expect from a hometown bookstore, Russo's employs experienced booklovers who enjoy recommending a good book almost as much as reading one. Where we once had four in-town retail locations, we now sell out of our showroom. We still have hundreds of new releases, bestsellers, and local books in-stock, but primarily we special order titles ... we can obtain over 2 million titles in as little as a day ... always at a discount. We're Bakersfield's Bookstore! Shop online. Shop local.
