“Book stores are nonexistent these days. But this one is a cool used book shop. They have various selections of books as well as some jewelry, and comic figures. Some other knickknacks as well. It’s located in the Northridge mall where the Disney store was once.”
“Amazing book store and owner is extremely sweet. He showed us through all the sections of the bookstore and well maintained store. Great store and huge book collection/ prices . will definitely go back when I’m in the area”
“Staff are knowledgeable and very helpful. The space is small but well stocked. I visited on a Sunday and was feeling some book burn out after two dense reads, the clerk spoke with me about what books I enjoy and helped me pick something outside my normal zone. It was just what I needed and I stayed up until 1 am to finish it. Definitely my go to bookstore from now on. The sections of the store aren’t marked, it’s clear where some sections but not others. Then again, if the sections were marked I never would have spoke to the clerk, had a lovely conversation, and chose the book that I did.”
“Like the other Open Book shops, they have a varieties of selections of books , vinyl records, and other knickknacks. The location is awesome. It is in the Topanga Village in front of the Fabletics store.”
“Took my son to the campus store to order his cap and gown package for graduation in May. everything was very well organized Even though there was a lot of soon-to-be graduate students at the store. We were able to get in and out in a short period of time which was cool. Go Matadors”
“Found this randomly googling places to go in Simi Valley, easily spent an hour here, my older kids loved it. Very clean and a ton of books. Puzzles and games were pricey but a cute little find.”

“I accidentally ordered wrong item. They went above and beyond to get me what I needed without charging me. Highly recommend for General Contractor exam prep books and code books.”
“A gem and a treasure trove. Love that we have a local store like this. An amazing selection. I’ve barely scratched the surface of what the place offers but it’s one of my favorite places.”
“David and Stacy are charming, knowledgeable, and very kind. I have been coming here for decades, and need to find more reasons to keep coming back. Selection is deep and well curated from books to siddurim to handmade ritual items to MLB team kippot. Big range of mezzuzot and jewelry, too.”
“I ordered a book online and received it within a week, granted I live hours away. I just genuinely appreciated the prompt service and my book was in perfect condition. Thank you!”
“The curation of items here is very fun. Everything is very organized, sorted well, displayed with intention, and the quality of items is very high.
Unfortunately, this attention to detail is passed on to the consumer. Almost everything in the store (at least, items I'm familiar with the value of) are priced about 15% higher than I'd like. I get it, it's the cost of doing business, but it does more often than not deter me from actually making a purchase.
It's a fun shop to explore, but not one I visit intending to find a hidden deal.”

“I’m so happy that The Spiral Staircase wasn’t harmed in the recent fire! Jacqueline, is so kind and thoughtful. She saw the spiritual books that I brought all the way from my Ashram in India, and she kindly took them, knowing that these were one of a kind!?”

“September 21st is the date of the 9/11 memorial flag removal. Nearly 3,000 flags, placed annually at Pepperdine University to honor all the unfortunate victims on that dreadful day. Both American and International are represented; a solemn sight to behold. We volunteered for the removal, and it was quite a task. And other than the initial help from the Pepperdine Men's Basketball Team, at least until they had to return back to campus, average age of volunteers? 50 and over. And not as many of us as you might expect. But the minimal crew managed to complete our task; dismantling and wrapping, in just over 2 hours. We were scheduled for an estimated 3. One beautiful part of the day was the lack of any talk of Left or Right Wing Politics. Only a gathering of Americans of multiple backgrounds, coming together and unified in this sacred task.”
“If you like college bookstores you will like this one. Campus has lots of cool places, library, snack shop, nature walk, cows, horses 🐴. Great place to check out.”

“Wonderful little shop. This Goodwill Boutique has a little bit of everything. Lovely vintage finds, new stuff, clothing, books, vinyl records, and furniture pieces. The staff is very nice and welcoming, and there is an obvious level of care provided by the staff that deserves recognition. Such a great shop. Great place for some quality thrifting. Enjoy! :)”

“Somewhat limited selection. This is a smaller store in a strip mall on the corner of Victory Blvd and Platt Ave. There were about 10-12 medium sized racks that occupy the main are of the store in addition to a small shoe section, book section, and dvd/cd section, as well as a wall of mostly color-coordinated decor items.
While it was limited in quantity, I feel it was well laid out with quality items, some newish, some more used. I looked at the shirts mainly and felt that $3.99 was a fair price for the t-shirts I was most interested in. I feel I could easily have outfitted myself with comfy clothes to wear out or at home. The next time I need an inexpensive ensemble on the fly, I will definitely consider this place.”

“As the author of The Grant Colson Thriller Series and SERA Archives thriller novels, I always enjoy visiting standout bookstores, and Barnes & Noble in Calabasas at The Commons is a beautiful location.
The store has a strong two-story design with escalators leading up to the second level. The layout feels open and inviting, with a warm interior that makes it easy to settle in and spend time browsing.
One of the standout features is the manga section. It’s large and well stocked, and it really draws attention when you walk through. The mystery and thriller wall is also nicely set up, with a good range of titles and a clean presentation.
The café is a great space, with a mural of famous authors that adds character and makes it a comfortable place to sit and read. I always enjoy seeing my own book on the shelf here, which adds a personal touch to the visit.
The surrounding Commons area is upscale and well maintained, and parking is fairly easy with plenty of space available.
I also spent some time in the romance section while working on The Maui Desire Romance Series, and it’s a well-organized area that fits nicely alongside the rest of the store.
Overall, it’s a bright, welcoming Barnes & Noble in Calabasas with a great layout, strong selection, and a comfortable atmosphere that makes it easy to come back.”
