“after visiting many libraries throughout Los Angeles area, i was very excited! and happy to be able to be a regular customer at this store. I come to this store maybe 2-3 times a week and never leave empty handed. If they don't have what i am looking for, they usually have it shipped to the store within few days. How cool is that? REYNA is very polite and always happy to help out :) thumbs up for this store!”

“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.”

“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 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 :)”

“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.”

Come here and find a great selection to choose from. Their library collection is impressive, and they have books in all Hebrew, English, Spanish, and a few other languages, plus a combination of Hebrew and those languages too.Looking for a gift to give? They have tons of beautiful choices too. High Holidays approaching? Make sure to stock up on all your needs at this place. Need a new succah? They'll have one for you. Lulav and etrog? Go to them...

“Love this place!! 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. Hits the sweet spot between higher end and tasteful without breaking the bank.Also shoutout to the two people who were working at the store - you were lovely and helpful!Will be coming back to get future gifts.”

“The shamash on my electric hanukkiah spontaneously shorted, so I needed to figure out if it required a rewire or if I just needed a new bulb.Yehi oh %&#$.My Mama suggested that I go to Shalom House (where she'd purchased it for me) and ask them for help. Hanukkiot aren't cheap, so I figured I would start with asking for help before replacing the whole thing.I walked in and while I don't think David, the owner, remembered me exactly (and to be fair, it'd probably been about 15 years since I'd last been in) he definitely knew who my mom was when I described her. We've been Shalom House customers for probably close to 30 years, so that's a lot of Mama's shopping.I showed David the issue, and he very matter-of-factly pointed out that the plug actually had two fuses in it. We took out the fried fuse, and suddenly the hanukkiah lit up. We were still without a shamash though, so he looked at me and said "You don't really want to buy a whole set of replacement bulbs, do you? You just need the one and it doesn't have to match? Give me a minute".He came back with a bulb which he then proceeded to screw into the center and it worked perfectly. I thanked him profusely and asked how much I owed him. He smiled, shook his head, and told me me "Happy Hanukkah. Now go light a hanukkiah".Mensches, the lot of them.And that, my friends, is why we adore this place.”

“Quite literally the most amazing book store experience. The store owner was extremely kind and did his best to help me find the books I wanted. The book selection is huge and the price is reasonable considering the fact that he has to pay for books to be imported from Korea. There are a lot of books aimed towards Korean learners. There is a section for Manhwa and some Manga as well. They have bibles that are double translated with English and Korean together. Honestly, it was a huge blessing to end up there!!!!!”

“Used to buy books here all the time when I volunteered at the old Rising Lotus. Still have really interesting out of print books on TV history... We live in Burbank and don't really venture out to Sherman Oaks that much these days. I randomly looked it up and soooo glad to see they're still open and running.”

“Have been buying Taschen publications for several years. They offer beautiful books at affordable prices (I especially love their facsimiles of Medieval books) but have noticed something that bothers me: I treat my books well. I keep them shelved upright or lying flat if they're oversized, and I never force them open to make them lie flat on a table, etc. Nevertheless, over time, pages or entire signatures on some of their publications have come loose. Why make such lovely books, and then glue the signatures in, or if they sew them, sew them in with what is apparently inferior thread? I did contact Taschen about this problem once but got no reply.”

“I stopped here after eating at a cafe nearby. I'm an avid reader and visit bookstores every time I get a chance. I ended up buying a new fiction novel. The cashier was friendly and even helped us look for a discounted book. If you're ever in the area, I recommend stopping by!”

“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!”

“Really nice bookshop with a great selection of books and vintage posters. I visited a couple of weeks ago and bought a Casablanca book and poster. I was looking for other books on Humphrey Bogart and both the shopkeeper and employee that was there were very friendly and helpful. *As an aside, I am getting a puppy in a couple of weeks and naming him Bogart, so I had to pick up some Bogart items while here! I would definitely visit the store again when in LA. I also checked out their online shop and they have a huge selection of items to choose from. If you enjoy films this is someplace you must visit!”

“I wish they brought back large book stores. This clean book store in Burbank is large enough to sit inside and start reading a book, bring your kids for story time or walk around the toy section.”

“I can’t stop smiling thinking about this store. This is what being an Iranian immigrant is all about. The store owner Mr. Valipour is was the best. Thoroughly knowledgeable on Persian literature and poetry (both classic and contemporary) and also had AMAZINGLY unique publications on Iranian Music.

He also has essentially every edition of dissident Iranian academic journals, dating back 40 years.

His love for Iranian history, literature and culture seeps through the walls of his store. Spending money here is a priveledge.”

“This store is wonderful and the owner, Alfred is very knowledgeable in all things military and print. I recently relocated my 93 year old father to LA to live with me. My father is a long time military and aviation book collector, rc aircraft enthusiast and fine oil paint aviation artist. Alfred offered a wealth of information on all those subjects and more as we make contacts in Los Angeles to liquidate my father's collections. Thanks Alfred, see you soon!”

“Mi esposo y yo somos Foráneos pero venimos constantemente y amamos visitarlos, es una excelente opción si esta en busca de una Iglesia donde se predique con fidelidad la palabra de Dios de manera en que la podamos entender. Sin duda es una Iglesia Bíblica. Está la Iglesia en ESPAÑOL (ahí mismo en otro auditorio) hay 2 servicios en la mañana a las 9:00 am y 11:00 ó por las tardes a las 6:00pm en el auditorio de la Iglesia en inglés, (el servicio es en Inglés pero en caso de requerir, ellos te prestan audífonos para que escuches la traducción simultanea en Español)Son muy organizados... todo esta planeado de manera excelente!”
