The Book & Bean is owned by long time Truckee residents Lou Raso, Joe Raso, and Meredith Watson. It is located in a historic building called the “The Nevada Saloon” built circa 1899. Our entrance is on Riverside Drive, just steps away from the Truckee River. The building was renovated in 2003, and was the home of Truckee Books for 15 years. We inherited 15,000 used books from the old bookstore, sorted through them all and re-opened as Truckee Book & Bean in March of 2006. Yes, that is tons of books, and we now have about half of that, keeping the best.
