“Auntie Barbara's kids is a great stop. I have been shopping there for years and have always found the staff to be friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. I drive from Newport Beach because they have such unusual things. When ever I give a gift from Auntie Barbara's it is always well received because it is simply put unique and beautiful. They have a large selection or both boys and girls clothes that happen to be adorable. I took my granddaughter there and she thought it was the best store ever. The staff was very polite and engaging with her and she felt like a grown-up shopping. She can't wait to go back. Today when so many stores lack customer service, this store gives great customer service. Their recommendations are always spot on. If you're looking for a quality gift this is the place. Don't let some of the negative reviews cause you not to go. This is definitely a gem. My one wish was that it was closer to me!!!”
“Love this place! I went to a reading event here last night with musical guest, Lemmons. It was such an incredible vibe and I was able to connect with some awesome people. The people who run this bookstore are so welcoming and warm. 10/10 experience. Thank you!”
“Great little used bookstore. A lot of novels and art books. They even have some real cheap used books if you don't mind some really beat up old books. I got 3 books for $5 total from the bargain section. But they have their share of hard to find more expensive books as well.”
“Convenient to the 33 bus line, and lots of downtown Culver City’s best restaurants, this bookstore is a must visit for bibliophiles that love romance. Elsewhere that might warrant an eye roll but at The Ripped Bodice, you’re in romance heaven. There’s everything here from beautiful, classic Jane Austen editions with gilt-covered pages to the newest, hottest romances topping charts at all major media outlets. There’s great attention paid to LGBTQIA+ books, both those about those who are and by authors who are. There’s a cute event space, there are stickers and gift items for the special bibliophile in your life (or for you!), and there’s no high pressure sales here. Just fellow bibliophiles, there when you need them. Or to finally ring up your purchase that’s far more than you planned to spend. This isn’t a place you leave empty handed!”
“Beautiful book collection - and the handwritten recommendations were excellent. Love the way they organized it too so that you stumbled upon all sorts of titles you might never see at other big box types.”
“just the way a used bookstore should be--crammed with books and playing great music. every staff member i've interacted with has been stellar. every time i come here and poke around i happily spend ages and find something great!”
“Really nice and clean. Looks like there is a reading club on Sundays when Farmers Market is scheduled. Everything in tip top condition, but for some backs prices were high.”

“Small hole in the wall with mighty superpowers to meet your bike repair needs. Have been getting my bikes serviced here for the last few years and am always awed by their incredible work and low prices to boot”
“One of our favorite shops in LA. Wacko is the perfect gift store. From kitsch apron to esoteric books, from mushroom designed lamps to silicon finger puppet, weird socks and so much more, be prepared to spend quite some time in there checking all the amazing stuffs they have!”
“Selection for faith based products are plentiful. Also a wide selection of different Bible editions and journals. The women working the front counter are super friendly and helpful. Prices are reasonable for the customized messages on gifts. Will definitely recommend to others and come back myself. Thank you.”
“A very nice and cozy bookstore inside a classic building. You can ask for 2 hour free parking validation with purchase.
There were so many selection of books from multiple genre. They also have vinyl selections.
You should visit whenever you are visiting The Grove!”

“Children's Book World has the best selection of children's books anywhere. The staff is so welcoming. Getting up close and personal with authors and illustrators is a privilege. Watching Lisa Yee and Dan Santat banter about their latest book, The Misfits, was a treat. The first pages have me hooked. As soon as I have a cup of java in hand, I'll return to The Misfits. Thanks to Children's Book World for this (and many other) wonderful experience!”
“It was a great blessing from the ETERNAL, I received what I did not expect and just as I received I was also able to receive the help of the King of the Universe.”
“Good idea to open such an artistic book store with quite a selection.
I just don’t like the smell here that mixes painting, and formaldehyde.
I know there are so many restaurants, cafes surrounded, but still thinking why there is not a coffee shop inside a book store? Why a book store can not be more spacious, and having a space to read? I just did quick browsing. I like the books. Each one is so unique. But I don’t feel comfy to stay.
I think I do have a higher expectation when comes to a book store.
Such a big city, just have sooooo many restaurants. But not even a huge book store?
People stay in their phones, posting fake, and dramatic photos or videos.
No place that we can feel comfortable to nurture our brain in the useful books? Soo sad!
Whenever I open TIKTOK seeing those stupid people getting their attention in several ways? I just asked myself WTF? Does this advanced technology make us more superficial? Not saying reading books will definitely make us profound. Nothing wrong to be fun.
It is just too much mental trash on social media.
We need a huge library in a modern way in LA?
Can some rich people help us?”
“I wish they brought back large book stores. This clean book store in Burbank is large enough to sit inside and start reading a book, bring your kids for story time or walk around the toy section.”
“I love visiting this local bookstore any time I’m in Venice Beach! Amazing curated selection, a big sci-fi / fantasy section, and it’s located right on the beach.
And if you’re thinking that it couldn’t possibly be better - they also have a bookstore cat!”
“It's not as big as your standard B&N, but that's what adds to the charm of this converted cinema, turned bookstore.
I easily spent hours just following the curved walls of books and I'm sure so would you dear reader!”
“This is by far my favorite bookstore in Los Angeles and our go to for any book that they can order for us. No more Amazon! We always love dropping in here and talking to the staff about what their favorite new reads are, and they also give great advice when looking for something more specific. Support them!”

“Lovely shop with a great selection of books, crystals, tarot cards, sculptures, etc.
Friendly and knowledgeable staff.
I love to browse the $5 used books outside anytime I go by. Have picked up some great titles.”
“The store is small compared to some of the other Kinokuniya branches I've had the pleasure of visiting, but it packs a punch. Has a little bit of everything. It is incorporated with a grocery store and a small food court area. Easy to find and very helpful staff.”
“I go here every year for my client's book release and signing. It's a smaller book store packed with books and helpful staff. It's nice to be able to still go to a bookstore as opposed to ordering online.”
“This is a busy bookstore, but with all of the customers they have, they still were able to help me. They were polite and helpful. Only reason I gave them a 4 star is because they didn't have the magazine I was looking for (2600). Either they were out or they no longer carry it. They did look it up on their computer but nothing came up for the magazine. I hope they were just out of them, I'll keep looking”
“I've been visiting this store since 1984. This may be the best automotive book store in the country. They have a great selection of new and used automotive and aircraft books, magazines, DVD's and related items.”
“My family and I’ve been coming to this book store for almost two decades. The owner is always very professional and knowledge of books to recommend. This bookstore has a variety of both new and used books in Korean. I love supporting small and local business that are also historic. Please go to this bookstore if you’re in search for Korean books.”
“The Taschen store at the Original Farmers Market in Los Angeles offers a unique blend of sophistication and accessibility, perfectly mirroring its vibrant surroundings. Nestled within this historic market, the store provides an authentic and immersive experience for art book enthusiasts, showcasing their iconic, oversized volumes on fashion, photography, and design amidst the bustling energy. It feels less like a traditional bookstore and more like a carefully curated pop-up gallery, making it a truly distinctive and inspiring stop for both locals and tourists seeking quality and authenticity in their literary pursuits.”
“More than a book/gift store. I will love House of David forever! It's been a place of precious memories for me for many years. We've moved out of state, and I still miss Phillip and Avram, may his name be a blessing forever?”

“If you’re into art, photography, or architecture, the Taschen Store in Beverly Hills is a must-visit. The store has a curated selection of coffee table books, many of which are artfully designed and quite rare. I spent hours browsing through their incredible collection. It’s a bit pricey, but the quality and selection make it worth the visit. The staff was helpful and really knowledgeable about the books.”
