I never fail to find a treasure buried here! Whether I'm looking for something for myself or something as a gift for someone else I walk out completely satisfied, a book under my arm, and wearing a smile. Lori is an awesome shop keeper, always accommodating, and willing to help either find a specific book for you or help you to decide which of the many choices available suites your need best. Shops like this don't happen by chance. They are built on good old fashioned care and attention.
Riverby Books is the lone bookstore on East Capitol Street and may be the closest book store to the US Capitol Building. It's in a row house and the bright light emerging from the large front window invites you in. On two floors, there are hundreds of books about poetry, travel, adventure, and there's even a corner for children's books. However, what makes this little bookstore unique is the DC history inside. As you walk through the aisles, you'll notice vintage, historic books about DC and even programs from historic events in DC. Another perk of this shop is you'll notice several of the books are signed by the author since so many authors live in DC. They stop by and sign books! On a perfect DC day, take a walk from Lincoln Park down to the US Capitol and stop in Riverby Books for inspiration and a little piece of DC history.
This is the epitome of a cozy, welcoming bookstore, full of great stuff.
Cool, old-school selection in a lovely setting. Helpful staff and beautiful old editions.
This place is a neighborhood treasure. Great spot for your unique book needs :-)
