Bookstores have become so rare in LA outside of Barnes & Noble. I love this place, it has such personality and great service. I hope it never leaves Sunset Bouelvard. I wish they had a cafe too, I would go weekly if so!

I was there for a book signing by Athena Vas. I always like cozy book stores, and love to see this store keep running. There are a few parking spaces behind the store, and its very walkable,
