Erik BrownJune 8, 2013Not much to say that the other tips haven't said already! Free books outside, $2-and-under as well as $5-and-under second at the front of the store, and then just walls of amazing books to browse!
Salma CalitoMarch 12, 2018I've been coming here for years, back when they were at their old location next to Odyssey video (*ba dum tss* get it? The Illiad and The Odyssey?) And the environment and sense of wonder are the same
Katherine M.July 22, 2015Best-stocked bookstore I've been to in LA, with the possible exception of Book Soup. Weak on city planning, architecture, design, women's studies; very strong on literature. There's a bookstore cat.- Best prices in town (along with The Last Bookstore), selection specializes in literature and the arts, high turnover rate, clean and organized, ample seating area to read,
JordynMarch 20, 2017Wonderful, HUGE bookstore with books on every genre and topic imaginable. The booksellers are knowledgeable and helpful. (Bonus: there are adorable cats!)- Harlan RaySeptember 11, 2015I was looking for the horror specific genre at the time, which they have plenty of. However this was a deep store that had probably thousands of great stuff.
Jason CApril 25, 2017Impressive collection of graphic novels and about a billion books on the entertainment world (business and otherwise). Has that used bookstore smell.
Alexia CardenasJanuary 31, 2019There's a huge variety of books here. Plus really friendly and lovely kitties roaming the store who may climb on you. Probably wear pants?- Katherine M.October 9, 2014Best-stocked bookstore I've been to in LA, with the possible exception of Book Soup. Weak on city planning, architecture, design; very strong on literature. Employees are a joy.
Buzz DæflyApril 4, 2011I love this place so much that I actually live here. Of course thats our little secret. If you could find it in your heart to drop cookies under the table by the back wall I would be ever so greatful.
Ethne DennisJanuary 14, 2019been coming here my whole life, friendly knowledgable staff with sweet cats always around. great section of 1 snd 2 dollar books
A treasure trove for lovers of books. Glide on the sliding ladder like Belle does in the Beast's library. A few hours at this NoHo gem is always worth the trip over the hill from West Hollywood. =)
Erin CallahanSeptember 6, 2014Largest selection of used plays that I've ever seen. Very friendly and helpful staff. Could easily waste a whole afternoon here.- Fantastic bookstore - knowledgeable & friendly staff, including award-winning horror writer Lisa Morton; well-organized; just about everything you could want in a used bookstore.
They are planning yet another expansion in the coming months. Great neighborhood store w knowledgable staff. Use it!
Amanda SawtellAugust 2, 2015All paperbacks half off cover price unless otherwise noted. Some are much cheaper!
Tina BAugust 19, 2010Hands down the best used book store I have ever been to. Books are in excellent condition, and they have a great selection in Literature and Arts.
Abed GheithJuly 12, 2011They have great sit and chill chairs for Dorothy and chilling. Might I suggest grabbing a comic, sit and pet their cat.- POTG DesignAugust 10, 2011One of the best used bookstores I've been to in LA. Spend hours browsing. Books on almost every topic.
Catherine HollySeptember 25, 2014Great bookstore! Bring your old books to trade and get store credit !
Eric StreeperFebruary 13, 2011There is a pretty great $2 and under wall in the literature section. Some good finds there!
