Shopping
The best bookstore in Los Angeles!! Floor to ceiling of every book you can imagine! Great prices and nice, helpful staff. There are comfy reading areas, water to drink, cats that sleep on stacks of books, and, best of all, you can walk there from our place! We've spent hours in this amazing place and it's a must see for any literature connoisseur.
