INSANE selection of Japanese language manga/video games. Huge markdown section as well. If you're looking for primarily import goods, this is the location to visit. By far the best selection of all LA area Bookoffs.

Came to sell some books, their process is pretty simple but not much explanation on how they gather the value. I felt that the price given wasn’t really that good. They were friendly and quick about everything.
