Idea Monkey, Inc.July 24, 2011This building housed Chatterton's Bookshop. It was known for poetry and independent publications. Poets such as Billy Collins and Allen Ginsberg frequented and read here until it closed in 1994.
Kelly BoneDecember 4, 2012Check their schedule for reading, amazing authors are constantly coming through.
If you can't find parking on a nice day, try Hollywood Blvd. It's just a few blocks and a lot of window shopping.

- ZkApril 1, 2016A lot of the books here contain the same exact words, just in different orders but I guess that's true for many book stores these days.
Tim BurrMay 3, 2011There's a tree right in the middle of the store, under a parallelogram of glass. What I wouldn't give to level it with my axe! But when I tried, they threw me out. Phooey.
Karl HobartNovember 17, 2010An interesting selection of political theory, gender and literary criticism.
My signed book "These Days Are Ours" is on sale on the fiction table!
Best bookstore in the area with an always great set of staff-recommended books. Don't forget to say meow to the cat.
I love stopping and staring at the window displays. Whoever does them is some kind of artist and makes the street a little better and brighter.
