Riverstone Books — McCandless in the Pittsburgh area
Riverstone Books — McCandless appears in Riverstone Books — McCandless official information under Bookstore. Its listed location is 65 Blazier Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15237. This profile brings the location, website, and available contact information together for readers exploring businesses in McCandless and the Pittsburgh region.
A North Hills shop at a new address
Riverstone Books places its North Hills store in McCandless, where the business began in fall 2017. Its published history describes an August 2026 move from McCandless Crossing to a larger Pine Creek Center location, adding the Greenhouse Cafe. This profile records an established relocation, not a new opening announced today. The move is especially useful context for customers whose saved directions still point to Covenant Avenue.
The operator describes a general-interest range spanning fiction, nonfiction and children’s books, alongside gifts and games. That range provides a starting point for a browsing visit, but it is not a live stock list. If a trip depends on one edition or a gift for a deadline, use the exact title and format in an enquiry before setting out.

Use the branch-specific location
The current contact page lists 65 Blazier Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15237, with 412-366-1001 for the McCandless store. A Pittsburgh postal address does not make this the Squirrel Hill branch. Keep McCandless in an order or event enquiry so the staff can identify the intended counter and calendar. The two stores have different locations and published operating schedules.
The contact page also lists the Greenhouse Cafe separately from bookstore hours. Check the cafe window if coffee or food is part of the plan. A bookstore staying open later does not establish that the cafe continues serving until the same time, and a shared building does not turn the two schedules into one.

Ordering and collection
Riverstone’s homepage describes shipping an online order to the store without a shipping charge, with collection after arrival. It also advertises home shipping and local delivery to selected neighborhoods. Confirm the actual address and fulfillment choice at checkout. A general local-delivery statement is not a promise that every Pittsburgh-area address qualifies.
For collection, distinguish a submitted order from a ready order. Check which branch will receive the book and wait for the store’s instructions before traveling. This is particularly useful for a book not already on the shelf, a future release or several copies for a group. Keep any required edition or binding details with the order rather than relying on the title alone.

Events require their own checks
The operator publishes event guidance covering registration, signing lines and the difference between in-store and off-site formats. The calendar also assigns activities to particular locations. Read the individual listing before assuming the North Hills shop is hosting an event seen on the shared site. A listed event is not a reservation for every reader who encounters the page.
If the purpose of the visit is a signing, check the purchase requirement and which books may be signed. If it is a discussion, check the selected title and registration route. A normal shopping visit, a free event registration and a ticket that includes a book create different expectations. The detailed event guide linked below addresses those choices without promising available seats.

Submitting a book is a different request
Riverstone publishes a separate policy for authors hoping to place books in the store. It generally excludes self-published and print-on-demand stock, while describing limited regional nonfiction exceptions. Authors should read that policy and the event proposal guidance together rather than infer acceptance from the shop’s interest in local literary activity.
For readers, the practical choice is simpler: identify the branch, the book or event, and the service needed. This profile was checked November 8, 2026 using operator pages. It does not claim a visit, rank the store against other booksellers or confirm that a particular title, cafe item or event ticket is available today.
If using a saved map, compare the street address with the operator’s current contact page before departure. The former North Hills location and the present store are part of the same business history, not two current branches to count separately.
