Best Bookstores In Los Angeles Near Me

Gary From LA: Love this store!!!!

Ori Sakal: Love this store. I hope that one will stay.Beautiful

Amin Kamrani: Easily the greatest bookstore and eventually a cafe in Los Angeles. It also has a patio where great events happen.

David Hulben: Fantastic little bookshop. Has a small cafe that also serves beer. Friendly staff have no problems helping you order any type of book you're looking for. The cafe is pretty good they have good sandwiches and nice pastries. They also put on little exhibitions of poetry reading and other types of art.

Mika Kelley: my favorite coffee shop/bookstore

Marina Valentina: Stories is the best ever. I love it so much and now they sell the most delicious lox bagels for $7.50!!!- if only I lived close by still.

howard fleming: love Stories, wish it was twice the size

Kevin Burnette: My favorite cafe in LA, great bookstore with a robust art book collection, and some other rare finds

Lore Spangler: Still not using real dishes and utensils. Lots of trash. Sad.

Thair Peterson: Overall, I think that Skylight has long had an excellent collection of curated books and in-store author appearances. However, I was a bit surprised to find they only carried one book dealing with anti-Semitism, the Holocaust or similar topics. I bought what I believe was the last such volume they had, and expressed hope they would find something else to replace it. If they had other such books or were backordered, presumably the clerk would have told me. Instead, I was expected to name the title myself. I'm not sure that's the standard they use for other topics in the store. The reason that customers go to Skylight is to find something they have NOT heard about. If anyone reading this can suggest some worthwhile titles on these topics that they could carry, I hope they can contact Skylight.

Mahin J: Excellent selection of books

Lily Weiner: Everyone loves a cozy bookstore like skylight BUT if ur a member of their signed book clubs and u go to pick up your book at the annex they’re gonna be really grumpy at you every timeBut nice topical book picks and a good poetry section. ALSO almost took off a star bc they don’t advertise their good events enough and we always miss them but still happy it’s our neighborhood bookstore

JP Shelton: Awesome book store with loads of architecture books and special LA finds

Joy Finch: Such a great bookstore, both a good variety and many specialty books.

Said Gabriel: Great place

Kathryn Mays: There are a bunch of things I find fascinating, but seeing as I live so close to Los Angeles and I live in the heart of Southern California, architecture is a huge thing to me! And I just happen to stumble across Hennessy + Ingalls when I got lost on my way to a metro station.Best mistake I could have made.The bookstore itself seems to be devoted almost entirely to art and architecture. The job in at the front desk was kind enough to show me where the tattoo section is. It's small, but it's substantial and has quality books that are a little bit more difficult to find.My absolute favorite section was devoted to architecture and the environment, or architecture and environmental sustainability. Their prices are pretty damn good too! You have your fair share of books that are easily $70, $50, but most of The ones I was interested in seem to be in the $20 to $25 range.And for those of us who are suckers for deals, such as myself because I am cheap and poor, they have a $2 section. Initially I was going to ask the gentleman if it was a typo, and then I made the effort to actually look at the sign in front of me which said "$2 books." I wish I was a little bit more observant.Ended up picking up five books for less than $10. If I had bigger paychecks, this place would be getting a massive chunk of it.If you're a sucker for architecture, history, art, coffee table books, book stores, that sort of thing, this is the place for you.For those of you interested in a super nerdy date, I highly encourage you to start at " The last bookstore" off 5th and Broadway, and then drive or meander over to Hennessy + Ingalls.

O D: Best art/design book store. I bought from their online store for the first time and it was a great experience. The way the books arrived packaged so safely and carefully was amazing. I have never received books packaged so well. I hope they improve the website to be more mobile friendly, and better search/display options. Actual photos of the used books would good too.

Angel A. Acevedo: Gem. Great selection of new and used books

Cedron Mcknight: Gave them a copy of My book 📖

Alvin H.: Great selections of architecture n design books!

Ashley Villar: This is NOT a Barnes and Noble, instead a creative little book shop nestled in a breezy corner of the Arts District 💙 We only stopped in Hennessey + Ingalls for short period of time because it wasn’t until we got there that we realized it was a shop dedicated only to books about architecture, arts, photography, magazines, fashion and more, a lot more. While we didn’t find the book we were looking for, discovering this shop was an even better find. Hennessey + Ingalls is a GEM in the Arts District. They have a beautiful and modern location with easy parking on most days. They categorize everything very well and have wide selections to choose from. I was very happy to see that there were a lot of well-known books and also a lot that were more niche and unheard of for the most part. While wandering around the store, I also saw some selections of cards, notebooks, tote bags and other stationary items for sale. My favorite part was actually the small children’s section. The books there feel handpicked and filled with books about history, niche topics and just some general feel-good books. I think that there’s something for everyone here and well-worth visiting time and time again!Notes- Street Parking- Affordable prices- Easy to find- Niche selections of books

Andrew Wenum: ! Such a gem to find the coolest books on design and architecture. I always leave with something inspiring... The staff rocks too! Chat them up and ask for recommendations!

tolga demirsar: This is a wondrous place that feels like a neighborhood museum. The owner, Tony, is extremely friendly. Stop by, enjoy a cup of complimentary espresso, and be sure to purchase some books!

Jeff Bridges: Great place to get lost! Tony is great and knowledgeable!

Jon Maas: At first when you whiz by you think it's like a mirage in the desert; what is a bookstore doing in this miserable stretch of La Cienega. And so I ignored it for months. I finally went there and found the mirage is actually paradise. The ideal used bookstore for everyone, with a vast supply of rare and wonderful books in every subject, and an owner who will do everything to help you find what you are looking for, or don't even know you want. How can we clone him and it?

Ally Zucker: Sideshow Books is a book-lovers dream. Tony, the owner, is a sweet, intelligent, and helpful. Could easily spend days lost in the stacks!

Diana Clarke: Wow, what a hidden gem in LA. Forget about the Last Bookstore downtown, Sideshow is the real best used bookstore in town. Cozy, intimate, great selection considering the small scale but what you give up in breadth you gain in character. Plus the owner is delightful and offers you espresso and a cookie as you enter. Love this place.

Kereen Saleh: Great used book store.

Dmitry Portnoy: Chevalier’s has everything I look for from an independent bookstore: friendly and knowledgeable staff; a warm, inviting space to browse; an expansive yet curated selection that has almost everything I know I’m looking for as well as serendipitous finds I didn’t know I was looking for; and the best research and ordering process the one or two times something wasn’t available.

David Sullivan: , and extremely helpful and friendly staff. Will be coming back regularly.

Jeffery Page: Love this bookstore and the staff is super friendly and helpful.

Sherrill Smith: Love this bookstore. Enjoy giving gift certificates from Chevalier's.Located in charming Larchmont Village. Staff lovely, knowledgeable and helpful.

James Berkowitz: True indie local bookstore serving the community and providing exemplary customer service with an excellent selection to peruse and take in. Welcoming atmosphere and staff that goes above and beyond to fulfill one’s book quest.I stopped by the store approximately 1-2 weeks before the September 3, 2023 release date of “Time Without Keys” Ida Vitale distributed by New Directions. A pleasurable exchange and book conversation with Quinn and Emma who placed the order and upon my walk today stopped in to pleasantly find out it was there in a punctual manner. Their team work and friendly demeanor exceptional. I call him The Mighty Quinn as a reference to the song and the fact we both prefer the Manfred Mann cover! Good to have some lighthearted humor in the mix.If you look at the photos closely there is one with the bag. Pay attention to the store stamp. Quinn stamps each bag one by one!!! This is how much heart and love goes into the endeavor. Support this store and share with others who love books and writer events.

Cedron Mcknight: Dropped off a copy of My book 📖

David Walsh: Classic shop. Been here forever. Great staff.

Carina Jahn: 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!

ona foster: I've never stepped foot inside this store, but they are wonderful! I ordered a gift certificate for my brother's birthday that got lost in the mail and they were so kind, quick and professional - replaced it and sent it by email on the day of his birthday. Impressive customer service!

Hubert Casellas: The classic look and the knowledge about every film is here enormous and very welcomed!We bought an original Star Wars poster and my son has it on bis bedroom now.Everytime I see it,I remember the day we bought it!

Lynette Bridenthal: This bookstore is the only reason to go to Hollywood Blvd.

Njål Lambrechts: Fantastic place for film buffs! Poster heaven, and maye some of the most service minded peopli in LA.

Adam Widera: If you wish to see the real Hollywood you have to visit this place. Movie scripts of your fav movies, books by actors and for actors. For the fans signed photographs.

I can not wait to return.My grandson is studying to be a director and I was able to find him a script copy of his favorite movie. To my daughter who just lost everything to the "mosquito fire" I was able to find her books for a new start on her collection of actresses.

Will W: Everything Hollywood Original movie posters, Hollywood movie scripts, vintage books and magazines this place is amazing.

CC Fischer: Goodbye BookSoup! May the last of your lackluster and dazed employees frequently hear the ghostly voice of Glen Goldman in their ear saying " Baah...You're all stealing from me".

王培欣: The clerk is friendly

Frankie Mark Murphy: Always a great experience here. The catalog of books they have beats out their competition by a long shot. Friendly and helpful staff always thinking ahead for the customer and providing cool events and atmosphere.

Jeff Lindstrom: Friendly staff. Medium-sized bookstore with high shelves. The science fiction section is not very large, but still a good selection.

Binhao Wang: Great vibe. Many interesting books.

Erin Spiva: I was in a panic because I needed a book for an event at the last-minute after UPS failed to deliver on time. The staff at Book Soup went above and beyond fulfilling my request to order a gift-wrapped book at the last minute and talked me through the best way to get it delivered. And all of this was over the phone, as I was halfway across the country. They were patient, kind, and so accommodating.

Baked Chicken: Excellent place. Fawn Hall hid a number of previously unreleased Iran/Contra documents inside one of the books in the stock room. Worth a visit and a search.

Jay Marsden: This little Library is a warm friendly environment, with a knowledgeable Liberian and a dedicated staff. I would choose thin place over any other library in Los Angeles. Due to ongoing renovations, this branch has special hrs. Every day, except Sunday 1:30 PM - 5:30PM Photos will be coming soon.

Mytao Westside: Low key a great book store. Differnt than your standard Barnes and Noble. Haha so very different. In such a good way. Small but tasteful. The front desk plays some low key dope music.

Frank MacGyver: Very cool little bookstore.

Noah Langford: This is a wonderful outdoor and indoor free art gallery

Steven Speciale: There are a small cadre of bookstores left in Los Angeles. A smaller group of them specialize in art; in this rarified group, ARTBOOK is one of the best. I find fascinating and beautiful publications here for me and to aid my teaching. ARTBOOK is especially strong in the contemporary arts.
