Welcome to RiverRun Bookstore
Get your backstage pass for our events with Jonathan Franzen and Bill Bryson by calling 603-431-2100!
If you live along the New Hampshire Seacoast (all 17 miles of it) you already know us as your friendly neighborhood bookstore, situated in the heart of downtown Portsmouth, NH. We hope you will stop in and meet us face to face, browse our great selection of books, and attend one of our many fantastic events. We work hard to make RiverRun an indispensable part of the Portsmouth community.
Sadly, dear reader, you cannot be in Portsmouth all the time. We hope this website will bring a bit of store to you wherever you are. You can read our staff recommendations, find out about upcoming events, and take part in our online conversation about great books by posting to our blog.
And, I'm happy to say that you can now buy books from us online. By clicking on the "Buy Books" button on any page, you can go to our commerce site, which is run by the book distributor Baker & Taylor. It's not as pretty as we'd make it (if we ruled the world), but it allows you to research titles and authors, and gives you access to most everything in print. We offer free shipping to anywhere in the continental United States, so you can be part of the RiverRun experience wherever you may roam.
We hope you enjoy exploring our home on the web, and we hope you'll stop in and see us in Portsmouth whenever you're in town.

The Time Traveler's Wife was an amazing book filled with sadness and happiness. I would consider it one of my favorite books. After I read The Time Traveler's Wife, I read the classic book, Catcher in the Rye. The book is about a boy named Holden who spends three days in New York City. It talks about all of his adventures and memorial experiences. The Catcher in the Rye is a fast read, and definitely a book worth reading!
Charlie St. Cloud is the book I am currently reading. It has an amazing plot and right away you fall in love with the book, and the wonderful relationship between two brothers. My next book is another classic, Lord of the Flies! I’ll tell you how I liked it next week!
Keep on reading!
