Currently the best used bookstore (price/value/selection wise) in the LA area (and to be absolutely clear this would include Half Off Books that moved from Whittier to Fullerton and the Last Bookstore (gasp)). Certainly the best used bookstore associated with a library in Socal.Photo is of last set of finds. Total cost was $8!Kudos to the staff. Last time i was there, place was supposed to close at noon. I got there five after. they stayed open well past 12:30 for the love of running a Bookstore. Someone came in after me and asked when do you close today. Someone said we were supposed to close at noon but we will close when we are ready to leave.

The best show in town. One of the best bookstores in the world! People start to hate when something gets to much praise, and usually deservedly so as the quality usually drops, but this place holds true all these years later.
