“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!”
“I went in here when visiting LA to buy books for my kids and nephews (of varying ages). The staff were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, and helped me pick books for each of them that were absolutely fantastic.”
“This Barnes & Noble has excellent customer service. I was helped by this wonderful woman, Mia, who helped me pick out a self help book for my younger cousin going through some relationship turbulence. Definitely making my way back here!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Placed an international order on the 27th of June and received it today (3rd of July), would like to thank the team at Stuart Ng books for the prompt and amazing customer service! Am very happy to receive my book today, the package was wrapped securely and item arrived safely in great condition ?”
“Super cute, well organized and a friendly staff. One of the best little bookstores I've been to. The staff was knowledgeable and made you feel like they truly wanted you to find a book you would enjoy reading.”
“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.”
“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”
“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!”
“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!”
“You can sit and drink tea they are organized and there is a beautiful chapel statues abit pricey bit books are reasonable price and easy to find I recommend cotters book store for more variety of religious materials”
“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?”

“There is so much Love and Devotion in the air within the temple and in the surroundings. Hare Krishna. I love this ISKcON Temple. It is a blessing of Srila Pabhupada on Humanity .”
“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.”
“One of my favorite bookstores! The owner is so nice and the amount of books is astonishing everytime I come in. My favorite section is the children's section just because of how large it is. There is a good mix of good and older books!”
“One of the only used book stores that I’m aware of on the west side! They have a very nice selection of paperback fantasy and sci-fi. The owner is very kind and has a great attitude!”
“This is my favorite bookstore on the Westcoast. The book selections are robust, the events are incredible, and the store is such a treasure. If you live in Los Angeles or are here to visit, add this to your itinerary.”
“I brought my girlfriend here for her first bible! The person that greed it us made us feel very welcomed! I highly recommend this place! P.s. My girlfriend loved her bible!”

“God bless y’all!!! This is an amazing place, wonderful people to help one find a Bible to our choosing. They have great options for not only Spanish speaking people but English speakers as well!! They have a variety of different versions of bibles!! It’s worth a drive!!”
“During my brief stay in town, I sought to acquire a few books for my child. This establishment possessed an extensive collection specifically tailored for children. The proprietor provided invaluable and courteous assistance. Notably, my child has expressed great enjoyment in the books recommended by the owner. I intend to return on my next visit to the town.”

“A good place to find vinyl record albums but the employees all act like they don't want to be there and really don't want to deal with customers. I waited in line for 21 minutes with 3 people behind the counter.”
“Do not hesitate to book Wendy Allamby for intuitive/card readings. I’ve been seeing her for over a decade whenever I visit from Texas and she’s such a kind person with crazy talent in what she does. I’m always shocked at how on point she is, even if I don’t understand at the time!”
“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❣️”
“This a very small location. Just a few racks. Many sizes available. If you are donating call before going in. There are things they do not accept. It is worth the trip, for me anyway.
Good Hunting!”
