“Called into make sure book of choice was available. Clerk held it at checkout desk.
Drove right up, got street parking, and was back at home in record time. Very friendly staff on the phone and also at the checkout desk.”
“Love this place! I went to a reading event here last night with musical guest, Lemmons. It was such an incredible vibe and I was able to connect with some awesome people. The people who run this bookstore are so welcoming and warm. 10/10 experience. Thank you!”
“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.”
“Great little used bookstore. A lot of novels and art books. They even have some real cheap used books if you don't mind some really beat up old books. I got 3 books for $5 total from the bargain section. But they have their share of hard to find more expensive books as well.”
“Convenient to the 33 bus line, and lots of downtown Culver City’s best restaurants, this bookstore is a must visit for bibliophiles that love romance. Elsewhere that might warrant an eye roll but at The Ripped Bodice, you’re in romance heaven. There’s everything here from beautiful, classic Jane Austen editions with gilt-covered pages to the newest, hottest romances topping charts at all major media outlets. There’s great attention paid to LGBTQIA+ books, both those about those who are and by authors who are. There’s a cute event space, there are stickers and gift items for the special bibliophile in your life (or for you!), and there’s no high pressure sales here. Just fellow bibliophiles, there when you need them. Or to finally ring up your purchase that’s far more than you planned to spend. This isn’t a place you leave empty handed!”
“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.”
“just the way a used bookstore should be--crammed with books and playing great music. every staff member i've interacted with has been stellar. every time i come here and poke around i happily spend ages and find something great!”
“Small hole in the wall with mighty superpowers to meet your bike repair needs. Have been getting my bikes serviced here for the last few years and am always awed by their incredible work and low prices to boot”

“One of our favorite shops in LA. Wacko is the perfect gift store. From kitsch apron to esoteric books, from mushroom designed lamps to silicon finger puppet, weird socks and so much more, be prepared to spend quite some time in there checking all the amazing stuffs they have!”

“Hare Krishna! Radhe Radhe!
Every time I go there someone is singing bhajans or discussing Bhagvata Geeta. The bhajans are melodious and full of devotion. Sitting there from 15 minutes will re-energize you. I’m truly blessed to have discovered this place recently. See the attached POV video of entering the temple.”
“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.”
“You can sit and drink tea they are organized and there is a beautiful chapel statues abit pricey bit books are reasonable price and easy to find I recommend cotters book store for more variety of religious materials”
“We love this Barnes and Noble as it is 3 levels and has a Starbucks too! It is one of the older style stores as it has been at the Grove for a long time but it’s one of the best!”
“It was a great blessing from the ETERNAL, I received what I did not expect and just as I received I was also able to receive the help of the King of the Universe.”

“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!”
“Good idea to open such an artistic book store with quite a selection.
I just don’t like the smell here that mixes painting, and formaldehyde.
I know there are so many restaurants, cafes surrounded, but still thinking why there is not a coffee shop inside a book store? Why a book store can not be more spacious, and having a space to read? I just did quick browsing. I like the books. Each one is so unique. But I don’t feel comfy to stay.
I think I do have a higher expectation when comes to a book store.
Such a big city, just have sooooo many restaurants. But not even a huge book store?
People stay in their phones, posting fake, and dramatic photos or videos.
No place that we can feel comfortable to nurture our brain in the useful books? Soo sad!
Whenever I open TIKTOK seeing those stupid people getting their attention in several ways? I just asked myself WTF? Does this advanced technology make us more superficial? Not saying reading books will definitely make us profound. Nothing wrong to be fun.
It is just too much mental trash on social media.
We need a huge library in a modern way in LA?
Can some rich people help us?”
“This location has 3 stories, so I would assume you're able to find something you're interested in given your interest isn't too niche. Staff are hospitable. Must make a purchase, includes Starbucks, according to the clerk to have parking validated with <2hr being free at the nearby carpark.”
“We had a great experience working with the Gifted team. They bought our Green Grass Bunny Decorations, Recycled Paper Bunny Shaped Baskets, and Red & White Check Napkins from us. Be sure to stop in!”
“LOVE this place. Staff is very nice and knowledgeable. They have a great selection of sefarim in Farsi and for Edut Ha Mizrach. Prices are competitive and plenty of parking too.”
“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! We always love dropping in here and talking to the staff about what their favorite new reads are, and they also give great advice when looking for something more specific. Support them!”

“Lovely shop with a great selection of books, crystals, tarot cards, sculptures, etc.
Friendly and knowledgeable staff.
I love to browse the $5 used books outside anytime I go by. Have picked up some great titles.”
“The store is small compared to some of the other Kinokuniya branches I've had the pleasure of visiting, but it packs a punch. Has a little bit of everything. It is incorporated with a grocery store and a small food court area. Easy to find and very helpful staff.”
“I go here every year for my client's book release and signing. It's a smaller book store packed with books and helpful staff. It's nice to be able to still go to a bookstore as opposed to ordering online.”
“More than a book/gift store. I will love House of David forever! It's been a place of precious memories for me for many years. We've moved out of state, and I still miss Phillip and Avram, may his name be a blessing forever?”
“The Taschen store at the Original Farmers Market in Los Angeles offers a unique blend of sophistication and accessibility, perfectly mirroring its vibrant surroundings. Nestled within this historic market, the store provides an authentic and immersive experience for art book enthusiasts, showcasing their iconic, oversized volumes on fashion, photography, and design amidst the bustling energy. It feels less like a traditional bookstore and more like a carefully curated pop-up gallery, making it a truly distinctive and inspiring stop for both locals and tourists seeking quality and authenticity in their literary pursuits.”
“My family and I’ve been coming to this book store for almost two decades. The owner is always very professional and knowledge of books to recommend. This bookstore has a variety of both new and used books in Korean. I love supporting small and local business that are also historic. Please go to this bookstore if you’re in search for Korean books.”
“If you’re into art, photography, or architecture, the Taschen Store in Beverly Hills is a must-visit. The store has a curated selection of coffee table books, many of which are artfully designed and quite rare. I spent hours browsing through their incredible collection. It’s a bit pricey, but the quality and selection make it worth the visit. The staff was helpful and really knowledgeable about the books.”
“I've been visiting this store since 1984. This may be the best automotive book store in the country. They have a great selection of new and used automotive and aircraft books, magazines, DVD's and related items.”

“Very cute romance focused bookstore! Loved the variety of contemporary romance books (as well as all the colorful spines)! There's also a section in the back for fantasy and children's books, a section in front with baby books, and an adorable reading nook that has news article clippings about the owner. They also have a cute mini print machine at the front of the store, but it required quarters so I unfortunately wasn't able to try it.”
