Nice shop. Small but good selection. Good price and all the books I looked at were in excellent shape.

Super cute ojai library, friendly staff member Ally helped me sign up for my library card and I checked out some books which I have not done in a long time.

A wonderful bookstore. Good selection of older books in great condition at very reasonable prices. Volunteer staff is kind and helpful. They even have postcards featuring a lovely watercolor of the bookstore—painted by a volunteer! We’ll definitely visit again.
