“Great selection of books, graphic novels, stickers and all kinds of other items. Super friendly staff and beautiful store. Independent bookstore offering much more for those interested in BIPOC artists. So glad to have stopped in while visiting from Dallas.”
“That’s fine, but just to let you know, I don’t like being accused for something I didn’t do, I don’t report stuff to my bank, because God doesn’t appreciate that.
But, you also have very good customer service.”

210 E Main St, Alhambra“Nucleus is an art gallery that caters to more modern artists in the genre of pop culture, anime, and local flavor artists.
A nice, clean esthetic that provides a wonderful space to display the art. There are two stories. Enough room to display many different artists, which switch out on a regular basis.
There are also meet and greets as well as signings. Depending on the artists, the crowds show up to meet people they admire.
Great place to peruse and buy art.”
“My husband and I have been going to this church since 2012. We lived close by in Glendora, and moved out near Jurupa Valley in 2013. We still make the drive all the way to Azusa for church...that's how much we love the teachings there and our church family who is always there for us when we need it. We love the coziness (we're not really into mega churches), so for us, it's perfect.”
“First, I'd like to preface this by saying I have never left an online review for anything. I'm just not that kind of person but the extraordinary service I received has been so far beyond the norm, I felt compelled to comment.
It started when I received a book I hadn't ordered. I felt sure a mistake had been made by a second-hand bookseller from whom I had ordered a different title. Fearing my book had been sent to the true buyer of this book, I contacted the Huntington Store (after hours, I'm quite certain) to inquire how we should resolve this error. I awoke the next morning to find an email from Lynsey Hand with the answer to the mystery. The book had been a surprise gift from my brother in Japan. (Yes, he is that great of a brother!)
I wrote to thank him and to recommend he take every opportunity to patronize this bookseller because I was so impressed with the packaging of my book against damage in transit. He recommended I write a review.
Over the years I have had numerous books, many collectibles, damaged due to inadequate packaging.
This book arrived wrapped in bubblewrap, cardboard, and packing paper in a sturdy cardboard box.
I have learned since 1.) it was packed by a lady named Emily (Outstanding job, Emily) and 2.) The Huntington store is not a second-hand bookseller but is, in fact, a beautiful museum with incredible botanical gardens.(My brother forwarded a Huntington newsletter.)
I can do without another visit to Los Angeles, but the next opportunity I have to visit Southern California, I plan on making the Huntington my destination spot and look forward to spending a liesurely day at this beautiful museum and its grounds and, perhaps, shake the hands of these two women who made such an impression as to prompt an old curmudgeon to write an online review.
Thank you, ladies!”
“My husband and I have been going to this toy store for a bit over five years now. The owners have given us so many great suggestions for our niece and nephew. We love how much effort they put into decorating their store and knowing what’s popular for every age. They have been wonderful people to get to know through the years. And now that we’re expecting a kid, we cannot wait to get even more things from them! Also, their book selection is getting better and better — I love that they have a wide selection of bilingual books!”
“Jacqueline was so kind and helpful to all the guests! So many wonderful statues, gifts, Holy Water....Great and Peaceful vibe! I got some complimentary gifts with my purchase. If you are Catholic and live in La Habra/Whittier, this is the spot! Keep the faith”
“I initially found a rare book on AbeBooks, and Book Alley was the seller. I decided to call and ask for photos of the book before I spent a few hundred on one book. The gentleman took my email, and I received an email back within the hour with photos attached. I bought it online, and I received the book only a few days later perfectly wrapped. Very satisfied with my purchase.”
“Great little gem loaded with all kinds of gifts, books, and other Christian products. Both in English and Spanish. I searched all over for a particular "Footprints " poem, and they had it there. Caring and friendly staff. Highly recommend you go there.”
“I can always find what I'm looking for & even things I didn't know I needed. The energy in here is always amazing...warm, welcoming & positive. Just all around great vibes! The staff is super knowledgeable & helpful. I came in once unsure of the exact stone I needed but was able to tell the gentleman helping me what energy I wanted & he helped me decide on a great Obisdian stone. I've also got my very first tarot deck from here.”
“Trading with a trusted account manager is what can make your dreams come through. For me Taisha Carson has the best trading strategies to win. I never believed on any post recommending online trading until I gave a try and the outcome was great for me. Making $10,500 out of $1000 was a whole lot of profit for me.”
“This is the place to go for all things homeschooling! They have an insane amount of books, curriculum, games puzzles and more! They also offer classes and fieldtrips. My daughter attends the science class taught by Mr. Marty and she loves it! I even learn a thing or two when I tune into the class. Both Carolyn and Marty can answer any questions you have regarding homeschooling and curriculum, they even know which charter schools are better than others. Highly highly recommend this place to all parents”

“How lucky are we to live in CA which has some of the best schools in the world. Cal Tech is one of the best of the best! Did you know that Einstein taught here and you can still see the house that he lived in?? I was here for a tour and loved every minute. How I wish I had this appreciation for education when I was in college. ;-)”
