“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!!!”
“EXACTLY what i need in my life. exemplary service. great vibe. thoughtfully curated inventory. looking forward to exploring their events and book club. it's such a ducking relief to have a local spot in Los Angeles where you don't feel conflicted or guilty for shopping at. hit it up. please support and grow with this business.”
“That bookstore is PHENOMENAL! So open and welcoming with books from authors that look like me and more! So happy to have something I've written in there. Love it!”
“I am so glad we made the time to visit this adorable indie bookshop. Friendly and helpful people working in the store, a great selection of books, cards, and more. Bonus- a farmer's market out front on a Sunday morning.”
“Love this place. If you like books with a bit of organized chaos, this is the perfect book store for you. There is so much to see and find, it is literally a literary adventure.”
“Love this shop. They always have cool signings, lots of books and vinyls and all of the products are organized. The shop is so clean and the owners are knowledgeable, I love visiting whenever I’m in town.”
“Often times they don't have specifically what I'm looking for, but that has never stopped me from walking out with an armful of other books I didn't know I wanted! If you need a copy of The Kindness of Women by J.G. Ballard they more than likely can hook you up, in spades.
Did I mention this bookstore has cats? 6 thumbs up.”
“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”
“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.”
“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.”

“I have never enter this store but I did wait for my brother in the car meanwhile he got a Siddur for me. I observed how the owner walked with my brother towards the books and probably explained to him what the book was for. It took me a while to read the Siddur. Know that I read it every morning and night, I’m very happy with it. May God continue to bless this shop. ?”
“I stopped at Small World Books while on vacation and found a really interesting, niche book. I was impressed by the sheer volume of books in this shop! Something for everyone, for sure. Their shop cat is just the cutest thing.”
“I love this store! I could spend hours perusing everything they have for sale. So unique and creative! Plus, it's connected to the La Luz de Jesus art gallery, that's always a treat. Short drive from the Griffith Observatory!”
“The space is sooo cute and literally LOADED with so many amazing books. There’s really a book here for everybody. The decor is everything! They have the first ever Black Barbie here too!!”
“I first heard about Annabelle’s shop from the LA Festival of Books. Their booth was super cute, everything pink. I wanted to buy a book there but they had sold out so they said they could order it for me and pick it up at the store. Their brick and mortar is so cute! Annabelle has not only impeccable taste in design and vibes, but her curated selection of books is great. I plan on coming back to peruse and get my dose of ultra girly, feminine vibes. Great for instagram pics :)”
“Always ready to help you staff. Cozy atmosphere. And not too much people inside the store. But I don't know about weekend, always visit this place on weekdays”
“I went here to find a gift for a holiday gift exchange. My first visit I was thrilled to find a curated selection of products from books, to notecards, jewelry, candles, bath salts and lotions, to name just a few. The broad selection made it easy to find gifts, and the clerks were very helpful. You can get up to three gifts gift-wrapped for free, and she did an amazing job. Stronly recommend - this store is a gem!”
“This is the most unique store! Nothing but 1st edition books. I could spend hours just looking at everything and listening to Harvey and Louis tell stories ! I will be back for sure.”

“This is one of the best stores I have ever been to while visiting LA. The owner was very very kind and I purchased several books from here that is very helpful spiritually and mentally.”
“Most entertaining book store for those who love art, design, architecture, etc and they have a variety of unique and rare books! Their stuff is very well organized especially given the wide range of printed materials they carry. I pay a regular visit even thought it’s a bit out of my way, and it’s totally worth it. Go give it a try!”
“I've always came here to look around, and it's always the place I love to visit when I walk down on main Street. I just recently visited again and Jeff, the owner of the place happened to be there. Him and the staff were kind, and let me ask lots of questions. Everytime I go, there's always something new and exotic to see.”
“This is a beautiful bookshop filled with holy books, cards, and devotional objects. The sisters are incredibly kind and patient--and helpful. Highly recommended.”

“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!”
“David has many beautiful & unique menorah styles (among other things).. but that was my goal & he helped me attain it :) awesome shop, lovely people. thank you❣️”

“Love this place!! I was on a time crunch to buy gifts for people and managed to get it all done (with complementary gift wrapping and everything) in one trip at this store.Considering the general quality of items at the store, I think the prices are super reasonable. Hits the sweet spot between higher end and tasteful without breaking the bank.Also shoutout to the two people who were working at the store - you were lovely and helpful!Will be coming back to get future gifts.”
“One of my favorite used books and records stores. I’ve been going here for years! I could be here for hours going through the books and the records. Rocco, the owner, knows his store from front to back and has an exceptional collection of first editions. This store is tucked away off the busy streets and is a gem in the neighborhood.”
“lots of miffy stuff! went for some washi tape and gelly roll pens. not a huge selection but i found some cool options. store is also on the small side so don’t bring a stroller ?”

“Have been buying Taschen publications for several years. They offer beautiful books at affordable prices (I especially love their facsimiles of Medieval books) but have noticed something that bothers me: I treat my books well. I keep them shelved upright or lying flat if they're oversized, and I never force them open to make them lie flat on a table, etc. Nevertheless, over time, pages or entire signatures on some of their publications have come loose. Why make such lovely books, and then glue the signatures in, or if they sew them, sew them in with what is apparently inferior thread? I did contact Taschen about this problem once but got no reply.”
