“This is a nice store and just enjoyable to hang out. Sits right on Rosecrans - safe environment, and great selection of books, of course! As far as books go they are well stocked with easy to find labeled sections. They have a vast variety and a wide range of authors, all genres and beautifully set up with a nice array of displays showcased throughout. The store is well organized, well-lit, clean, and spacious. Also, there are a variety of seating areas. Super friendly and knowledgable staff - always helpful and kind! Everyone is caring and insightful and gives impressive recommendations based on your tastes or goals. Kudos to the staff for professional, knowledgeable and friendly customer service. They also make ordering books easy. You can get anything you need and pretty fast. A nice browsing atmosphere with other book lovers. Parking is not a problem at all - as it is nestled in a shopping mall situated between Trader Joe's and Old Navy. This place is a 10/10!!!”

“I've been eyeing this bookstore for quite some time and I'm so so happy that I finally made the drive over. Rep Club is a black and woman owned independent bookstore that has so much thought and intention behind their space. It's evident in their wide selection of inclusive and diverse books, art, music, and unique gift items. I picked up Act Your Age by Talia Hibbert because I really enjoyed her other book from the series. I'm also a huge fan of Bell Hooks ('About Love'!) so I picked up Communion. Lastly, after practicing some self control, I picked up my third and final purchase of the day, a vegan cookbook! So excited to dive into my reads. Can't wait for my next visit!”

“This most extensive collection of romance books with subgenres of any type you like. Bought way too many books. It was too hard to narrow down to just a few when the selection was so excellent. Charming space as well. Check out the historical section!”

“Literally one of my favorite used bookstores. The interior is nice and cozy and i spent hours in the romance section. I absolutely love the vintage books there and you can always come out with a treasure or two. The staff is very friendly and are definitely fellow book lovers. Also there's a cat! What more do u need?”

Prices are reasonable for the customized messages on gifts. Will definitely recommend to others and come back myself. Thank you.”

“Excellent service. Reasonable prices. They sell used bikes, so they might or might not have what the customer wants, but they work very hard to match the bike to the customer and are willing and able to make adjustments. (The sales area is in front, and the bike repair shop is in the back.)”

“Thunderbolt Spiritual Books is a little metaphysical shop stuffed to the gills with merchandise. As you walk into the store you will see an enormous statue of Siddhartha Buddha with a collection of offerings in his lap. This place has an enormous stock of crystals, particularly of the ones that are very popular (amethyst, rose quartz...etc.). They also carry a collection of jewelry featuring many semi-precious stones. They have a case of elaborately decorated Hindu and Buddhist spiritual beings and a number of large bronze sculptures of Ganesha and Buddha that are displayed on the stairs to the second floor. Thunderbolt does have a large number of books (an especially large shelf on the top floor), but I think they're rather overshadowed by the crystals, tarot cards and other spiritual paraphernalia. The prices seemed reasonable. They were neither super-expensive nor dirt cheap. The employees were kinda and helpful while I was browsing the store and had a nice conversation with the cashier. If you are in Santa Monica, you might want to swing by.”

“I've always came here to look around, and it's always the place I love to visit when I walk down on main Street. I just recently visited again and Jeff, the owner of the place happened to be there. Him and the staff were kind, and let me ask lots of questions. Everytime I go, there's always something new and exotic to see.”

“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!”

“I've been going to Sandpiper for years. They are the best little bookstore in the South Bay, with a great selection across many genres and a good ratio between new and used. Today my girlfriend and I stopped in to donate some old books and browse around. I'd had my eye on a two-volume Aristotle collection for a while, but it apparently sold about a week ago. That's what I get for dragging my feet! I picked out a used copy of a history paperback, and asked the clerk Colin if he knew how much a new copy would cost. He did a little research on his computer and found that a new copy would cost more than twice the price of the copy in my hand. I happily opted for the used copy! After paying, we talked to Colin about the store and our common passion for books (turns out he also wanted that Aristotle collection and waited too long) and if another customer hadn't come to the counter to check out we probably would've talked until closing. I can't recommend Sandpiper enough as a home for book lovers of all kinds!”

“I recently purchased Introduction to Black Studies by Maulana Karenga, from your website, sankorepress.com. I needed it for my Africana Studies class that will be starting soon. Before I made my purchase, I called and spoke to one of your representatives about the book and the delivery time. My class will start at the end of August and I wanted to start reading it during quarantine. The person I spoke with gave me a lot of good information about the book and took time to answer all my questions. I received the book last Friday and have already started reading it. I really appreciate how knowledgeable and professional your representative was to me. I am sorry that I did not get her name but I truly enjoyed our exchange. Great job! Thank you,Malaika”

“Got a web3 book here that was very relevant! Would recommend everyone learn about web3 by picking up a book at their local bookstore! Otherwise how else will people learn! We also looked at the very expensive pens. Didn't get much but a notebook, would go again!”

“One of the most veteran and special literary organizations, venues, and bookstores around. The staff and board are constantly growing and expanding what they include and bring in for their programming. Their small bookstore is humble, but carries titles that are often out of print and supportive of our great local talent!”
“Great quiet and peaceful place to lift your.thoughts through prayer, peace,,and quietude. Also wonderful resources to learn more about the Bible and aid you in your spiritual growth.”

“The great thing about this bookstore is that it is open late. At least on a Friday it is. It's tucked itself right along the hillcrest night and so after dinner it was a nice place to digest. They have a decent size LGBT fiction section and the place is set up for you to explore.”

“I have been going to Belsan Travel for years to do my taxes. The agency is run by a nice honest couple who speak both English and Spanish. I have never had any issues with my taxes or refunds and their pricing is fair. Dolores is very knowledgeable and keeps updated with the new laws and policies to get you the best return. They take cash, card and in the last few years Zelle for payment. My family has also used their services to book all inclusive travel packages to Europe and Mexico. We all have had nothing but good experiences at Belsan Travel.”

“My first time visiting the store today and I'm so happy I found this location. I'm a post COVID-19 customer so I've never experienced any of their outdoor events but the in-store service and selection were absolutely wonderful!”

“Located in an amazing spot, right next to a coffee shop and walking distance from the beach. There is meter parking out front. The perfect combination of a self care day of picking up a good read, getting a cup of coffee next door, enjoying the outdoor seating between the two spots, or heading to the beach to enjoy the new read. They do have a few reading spots inside the shop as well. A bookworms happy place, the bookstore is cute and aesthetic with plenty of variety and options. Good value and prices that comparable to other bookstores and chains. I loved the notes that they had which gave more insight and suggestions to reads. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful in providing book recommendations. I ended up chatting with one of the staff about the same books we've read. Its always such a fun moment getting a different POV and getting to discuss books with others. I'll definitely be coming back.”
