“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.”

“Really great selection and super friendly owner. I unintentionally decided to start searching for the hardcover HP books and he was able to get me 2 of them at a very reasonable price, $12, and amazing condition. I’ll be circling back in a couple weeks to see if i find the last 3!

I also asked if he had some other titles and he personally went to where they would be and searched for them.”

“I had such a wonderful experience at Open Book in Woodland Hills thanks to James and Jen. Both were incredibly helpful and kind, making the visit feel personal and welcoming. I especially want to highlight Jen — she truly went above and beyond. My son had been searching for a specific book series for a while, and Jen took the time to track it down and made sure we got it. Her effort and care really meant a lot to us. It’s rare to find that kind of dedication these days. We’ll definitely be coming back — thank you, Open Book!”

“Lovely little shop but more importantly fantastic service! Sunny (Sonny?) really knows his stuff and just generally made picking a book super easy (despite my vague and broad parameters). He basically found me the book I didn’t even know I wanted to read! Plus he’s just a chill guy who’s very knowledgeable and easy to chat books with”

“I love this book store. They have good sales. Rotating inventory so I can come often and always find something new. The staff are all super friendly and helpful. They have a stamp program to earn a free book, or buy a reusable bag and get a percent off if you bring it in when you purchase books.
They also have a mix of some new books - popular ones that I've seen online. Totally recommend checking this place out.”

“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!?”

“This is a really clean and tidy antique store and it is run by two lovely ladies. There are multiple sellers with separate spaces but the overall management of it is beautifully done. They had a large collection of oil paintings and I bought a nice piece that was reasonably priced. There items that were overpriced but it seems every seller has a different pricing strategy. The owners are helpful but not pushy and make it a pleasant experience.”

“This store has everything you need. The staff are friendly and courteous. It even has a seating area where you can relax and have a cold drink inside where it's nice and cool. Their Brahma cafe is great also with a variety of foods and drinks. Candy is so friendly and eager to help the students and school staff in finding their every need. She is a hard-working manager and always has a great smile to greet the customers.”

“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.”
