“That bookstore is PHENOMENAL! So open and welcoming with books from authors that look like me and more! So happy to have something I've written in there. Love it!”
“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.”
“Often times they don't have specifically what I'm looking for, but that has never stopped me from walking out with an armful of other books I didn't know I wanted! If you need a copy of The Kindness of Women by J.G. Ballard they more than likely can hook you up, in spades.
Did I mention this bookstore has cats? 6 thumbs up.”

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. ?”
“I love this store! I could spend hours perusing everything they have for sale. So unique and creative! Plus, it's connected to the La Luz de Jesus art gallery, that's always a treat. Short drive from the Griffith Observatory!”

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!”

Go give it a try!”

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!”

I was on a time crunch to buy gifts for people and managed to get it all done (with complementary gift wrapping and everything) in one trip at this store.Considering the general quality of items at the store, I think the prices are super reasonable.

“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!”
“I first heard about Annabelle’s shop from the LA Festival of Books. Their booth was super cute, everything pink. I wanted to buy a book there but they had sold out so they said they could order it for me and pick it up at the store. Their brick and mortar is so cute! Annabelle has not only impeccable taste in design and vibes, but her curated selection of books is great. I plan on coming back to peruse and get my dose of ultra girly, feminine vibes. Great for instagram pics :)”
