“That’s fine, but just to let you know, I don’t like being accused for something I didn’t do, I don’t report stuff to my bank, because God doesn’t appreciate that.
But, you also have very good customer service.”
“This is a fascinating store. Housed in a beautiful old building, it is packed with thousands of books, records and merchandise. There are some really rare and special books in separate rooms (one of which was formerly a safe or strong room). You can sell your books and vinyl to the store too. It's really very special and very different to any store I've visited before and is well worth a visit.”
“Forget Barnes and Noble, they have what you need here.
I was just looking around, but they have LOADS of art books here it’s crazy.
If I ever needed some niche art book I would look here first.”

210 E Main St, Alhambra“Nucleus is an art gallery that caters to more modern artists in the genre of pop culture, anime, and local flavor artists.
A nice, clean esthetic that provides a wonderful space to display the art. There are two stories. Enough room to display many different artists, which switch out on a regular basis.
There are also meet and greets as well as signings. Depending on the artists, the crowds show up to meet people they admire.
Great place to peruse and buy art.”

369 N Fairfax Ave #1, Los Angeles“I have never enter this store but I did wait for my brother in the car meanwhile he got a Siddur for me. I observed how the owner walked with my brother towards the books and probably explained to him what the book was for. It took me a while to read the Siddur. Know that I read it every morning and night, I’m very happy with it. May God continue to bless this shop. ?”

“Best art/design book store. I bought from their online store for the first time and it was a great experience. The way the books arrived packaged so safely and carefully was amazing. I have never received books packaged so well. I hope they improve the website to be more mobile friendly, and better search/display options. Actual photos of the used books would good too.”
“off topic but a huge THANK YOU to the lady who worked Friday 12/8 around 3-4pm, I got my car to turn on!! :) you are an angel! I pass by this little bookstore often on my trips to Howlin' and finally went in to ask for a little favor as I was having car problems... As I was waiting she was assisting this lovely couple and as I overheard, I can tell she had TONS of knowledge about cook books and had so many recommendations regarding specifics of the customers likes/interest. I browsed around and there was a variety of books, some cooking utensils and other misc. items like cute tote bags. I will definitely come back and purchase my first cookbook here <3”

“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!”
“Quite literally the most amazing book store experience. The store owner was extremely kind and did his best to help me find the books I wanted. The book selection is huge and the price is reasonable considering the fact that he has to pay for books to be imported from Korea. There are a lot of books aimed towards Korean learners. There is a section for Manhwa and some Manga as well. They have bibles that are double translated with English and Korean together. Honestly, it was a huge blessing to end up there!!!!!”
“This is by far my favorite bookstore in Los Angeles and our go to for any book that they can order for us. No more Amazon!

“Really nice bookshop with a great selection of books and vintage posters. I visited a couple of weeks ago and bought a Casablanca book and poster. I was looking for other books on Humphrey Bogart and both the shopkeeper and employee that was there were very friendly and helpful. *As an aside, I am getting a puppy in a couple of weeks and naming him Bogart, so I had to pick up some Bogart items while here! I would definitely visit the store again when in LA. I also checked out their online shop and they have a huge selection of items to choose from. If you enjoy films this is someplace you must visit!”
