“Beautiful, well-stocked bookstore.
Lots of nice gift ideas.
There are also many places to relax and read, as well as a Starbucks in the middle of the bookstore.”
“I love visiting this local bookstore any time I’m in Venice Beach! Amazing curated selection, a big sci-fi / fantasy section, and it’s located right on the beach.
And if you’re thinking that it couldn’t possibly be better - they also have a bookstore cat!”
“Really great selection and super friendly owner. I unintentionally decided to start searching for the hardcover HP books and he was able to get me 2 of them at a very reasonable price, $12, and amazing condition. I’ll be circling back in a couple weeks to see if i find the last 3!
I also asked if he had some other titles and he personally went to where they would be and searched for 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.”
“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.”

“I had such a wonderful experience at Open Book in Woodland Hills thanks to James and Jen. Both were incredibly helpful and kind, making the visit feel personal and welcoming. I especially want to highlight Jen — she truly went above and beyond. My son had been searching for a specific book series for a while, and Jen took the time to track it down and made sure we got it. Her effort and care really meant a lot to us. It’s rare to find that kind of dedication these days. We’ll definitely be coming back — thank you, Open Book!”
“One of the only used book stores that I’m aware of on the west side! They have a very nice selection of paperback fantasy and sci-fi. The owner is very kind and has a great attitude!”
“Lovely little shop but more importantly fantastic service! Sunny (Sonny?) really knows his stuff and just generally made picking a book super easy (despite my vague and broad parameters). He basically found me the book I didn’t even know I wanted to read! Plus he’s just a chill guy who’s very knowledgeable and easy to chat books with”

“It is a place to go for Cali contractors, they are experts with all form , polices documentation you need to run your contracting business. They are helpful , welcoming and can save you time and headache searching the net for forms templates”
“They are awesome. The lady there took her time to help us find EXACTLY what we needed. We've been going there for many years. Will continue to support them.”
“Went to this store a few years ago, it was truly a diamond in the rough that had a good amount of books and tools for its size. The employee was quite informative of what I was needing help with.”
“Do not hesitate to book Wendy Allamby for intuitive/card readings. I’ve been seeing her for over a decade whenever I visit from Texas and she’s such a kind person with crazy talent in what she does. I’m always shocked at how on point she is, even if I don’t understand at the time!”
“David and Stacy are charming, knowledgeable, and very kind. I have been coming here for decades, and need to find more reasons to keep coming back. Selection is deep and well curated from books to siddurim to handmade ritual items to MLB team kippot. Big range of mezzuzot and jewelry, too.”
“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.”

“This store has everything you need. The staff are friendly and courteous. It even has a seating area where you can relax and have a cold drink inside where it's nice and cool. Their Brahma cafe is great also with a variety of foods and drinks. Candy is so friendly and eager to help the students and school staff in finding their every need. She is a hard-working manager and always has a great smile to greet the customers.”
“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!”

“September 21st is the date of the 9/11 memorial flag removal. Nearly 3,000 flags, placed annually at Pepperdine University to honor all the unfortunate victims on that dreadful day. Both American and International are represented; a solemn sight to behold. We volunteered for the removal, and it was quite a task. And other than the initial help from the Pepperdine Men's Basketball Team, at least until they had to return back to campus, average age of volunteers? 50 and over. And not as many of us as you might expect. But the minimal crew managed to complete our task; dismantling and wrapping, in just over 2 hours. We were scheduled for an estimated 3. One beautiful part of the day was the lack of any talk of Left or Right Wing Politics. Only a gathering of Americans of multiple backgrounds, coming together and unified in this sacred task.”
“(Translated by Google) Beautiful University, clean and tidy, safe facilities, environment free from noise.(Original)Bella Universidad, limpia y ordenada , seguras instalaciones,ambiente libre de bullicio.”
“Excellent teachers at a very affordable price especially for the media, film, and arts programs. However, a lot of students think it’s cool to be lazy and waste the opportunity.”

“They are the best! Love to Elijah, Daisy and Kayla! Clean store, great selections, great customer service and great attitudes from opening til closing! Five outta five, hands down!”
“I’m so happy that The Spiral Staircase wasn’t harmed in the recent fire! Jacqueline, is so kind and thoughtful. She saw the spiritual books that I brought all the way from my Ashram in India, and she kindly took them, knowing that these were one of a kind!?”
