“I wandered through the mall as usual to discover this amazing used bookstore on the second floor. I had no idea they'd moved in! I'm so excited to have found them. They have a great selection. Lots of leatherbound books, paperbacks, as well as fun collectibles. Great place.”
“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.”
“Clean, well-lighted bookstore. Pricey, but not overly so. Most hardcovers are $14 while paperbacks range from $3 to $7. As such, some deals are to be had, especially for academic press hardcovers. Very good selection of history books in particular. Parking in the rear. The owner seems to be the only employee: sweet man, given to self-depricating and grandfatherly jokes; chaty but endearing.”
“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 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 :)”
“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.”
“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 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!”
“As a woman of God, they are one of my favorite places to visit and search for what we occupy because my husband is a lover of reading and almost every time we go we find what we are looking for, such as dictionaries, books for our predictions and much more. I recommend them.”

“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!”
“This is a beautiful bookshop filled with holy books, cards, and devotional objects. The sisters are incredibly kind and patient--and helpful. Highly recommended.”

“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 .”
“Everything you need for your Jewish home, library, life and self. You need a new tallit, tzitzis, mezuzah case, siddur, challah cover, shofar... et cetera? Come here and find a great selection to choose from. Their library collection is impressive, and they have books in all Hebrew, English, Spanish, and a few other languages, plus a combination of Hebrew and those languages too.Looking for a gift to give? They have tons of beautiful choices too. High Holidays approaching? Make sure to stock up on all your needs at this place. Need a new succah? They'll have one for you. Lulav and etrog? Go to them... Need a kitel they got you covered. Every time I go to L.A. I try to stop by, even if all I need is a new kippah. This place is awesome.”
“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❣️”
“Beautiful, well-stocked bookstore.
Lots of nice gift ideas.
There are also many places to relax and read, as well as a Starbucks in the middle of the bookstore.”
“The shamash on my electric hanukkiah spontaneously shorted, so I needed to figure out if it required a rewire or if I just needed a new bulb.Yehi oh %&#$.My Mama suggested that I go to Shalom House (where she'd purchased it for me) and ask them for help. Hanukkiot aren't cheap, so I figured I would start with asking for help before replacing the whole thing.I walked in and while I don't think David, the owner, remembered me exactly (and to be fair, it'd probably been about 15 years since I'd last been in) he definitely knew who my mom was when I described her. We've been Shalom House customers for probably close to 30 years, so that's a lot of Mama's shopping.I showed David the issue, and he very matter-of-factly pointed out that the plug actually had two fuses in it. We took out the fried fuse, and suddenly the hanukkiah lit up. We were still without a shamash though, so he looked at me and said "You don't really want to buy a whole set of replacement bulbs, do you? You just need the one and it doesn't have to match? Give me a minute".He came back with a bulb which he then proceeded to screw into the center and it worked perfectly. I thanked him profusely and asked how much I owed him. He smiled, shook his head, and told me me "Happy Hanukkah. Now go light a hanukkiah".Mensches, the lot of them.And that, my friends, is why we adore this place.”
“I stopped here after eating at a cafe nearby. I'm an avid reader and visit bookstores every time I get a chance. I ended up buying a new fiction novel. The cashier was friendly and even helped us look for a discounted book. If you're ever in the area, I recommend stopping by!”
“Great place to learn new information and the environment was beautiful with fun, friendly, and very educational leaderships. We visited for the 2024 Matadors Day with my soon to be CSUN Freshman daughter”
“Used to buy books here all the time when I volunteered at the old Rising Lotus. Still have really interesting out of print books on TV history... We live in Burbank and don't really venture out to Sherman Oaks that much these days. I randomly looked it up and soooo glad to see they're still open and running.”
“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.”
“I can’t stop smiling thinking about this store. This is what being an Iranian immigrant is all about. The store owner Mr. Valipour is was the best. Thoroughly knowledgeable on Persian literature and poetry (both classic and contemporary) and also had AMAZINGLY unique publications on Iranian Music.
He also has essentially every edition of dissident Iranian academic journals, dating back 40 years.
His love for Iranian history, literature and culture seeps through the walls of his store. Spending money here is a priveledge.”
“Mi esposo y yo somos Foráneos pero venimos constantemente y amamos visitarlos, es una excelente opción si esta en busca de una Iglesia donde se predique con fidelidad la palabra de Dios de manera en que la podamos entender. Sin duda es una Iglesia Bíblica. Está la Iglesia en ESPAÑOL (ahí mismo en otro auditorio) hay 2 servicios en la mañana a las 9:00 am y 11:00 ó por las tardes a las 6:00pm en el auditorio de la Iglesia en inglés, (el servicio es en Inglés pero en caso de requerir, ellos te prestan audífonos para que escuches la traducción simultanea en Español)Son muy organizados... todo esta planeado de manera excelente!”
“Excellent material for children, we use Club Adventure and Generaciones de Gracia, we use it in our church in Surquillo, Lima, Peru, Iglesia Bíblica Gracia Soberana. Thank you, beloved brothers, for such hard work that blesses the church of our Lord.”
“This is one of my favorite metaphysical shops in Los Angeles. They don't have a great variety of tarot decks or Oracle cards but outside of that you could find so many goodies. The prices are very reasonable. The workers Aren't too sociable, but they're not mean either. My favorite psychic greeter is Allorah. She will get you the clarity and answers you need.”

“The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), referred as the ivy league of public universities, is a state university. It is considered one of the world's most branded universities along with UC Berkeley. It ranks 15th in the 2024 U.S. News Undergraduate Rankings, ranking it as the top undergraduate college in the U.S. State University. It also has the largest number of applicants in the U.S.
UCLA Store sells many goods, like a clothes, bags, stationaries, souvenirs.. All goods lead to the Pride of UCLA. I like the color of BLUE and the slogan, Go Bruins! From the Google, I cam to know what Bruin mea s to UCLA: While it had been among the students' suggestions, the name Bruins had been used alternately with Bears by Berkeley for years. In a show of brotherly unity, Berkeley's student leaders offered the name Bruins to UCLA, and the Associated Student Council voted unanimously to adopt the name.”
“I have so many fond memories of coming to this store. I've been coming here for as long as I can remember. Usually after a meal at The Inn of the Seventh Ray, but sometimes I would make the drive just for the store! It's like a mini Bodhi tree. You can find spiritual books, unique gifts, and jewelry. Actually, my fav pair of earrings come from here. Plus incense, cards, chimes, crystals, and... what can I say? I love the vibe.”
