Jessica KatzFebruary 20, 2014About 2 years ago, it seemed like the store had a huge change of staff. Not Good! I won't be giving them my business. I do stop by the Hasting Ranch location on occasion. Much better environment!!!

"Competes with Iliad as best used bookstore in Los Angeles area. Large selection with high turnover rate. Messy but clean and organized. Great prices and quite a few collectables."
Andru Aesthetik - 8.3
"Highly curated small selection of very quality prints, with welcoming atmosphere. Lovely location as well which apparently housed Einstein's office when the building was annexed by Cal Tech."
