There is great shopping but also places to sit (do you remember sitting while visiting?) and a moment in their peaceful Chapel can easily last 2 hours. Talk to the Sisters, they are just lovely!”

“Small World Books (( & Franny the ? ))Small World Books is one of the biggest littlest book stores out there comparable to Grey Matter Books on Yale's Campus in New Haven, CT. Except SWB is tucked in strategically next to The Side Walk Cafe....so if your not keeping an eye out you could clearly walk past it .Books, manuscripts and literature inside range from Self-Help to Women's Rights, to Sex, Religion, Esoteric,History, modern and Historic, plus so much more,. It's a dog friendly store. It's the place I met Ralphy the Dog, what a cutie , thanks Katie... And the Resident Cat Franny. Definitely worth a stop in while on the Venice Boardwalk.”

“Strolled in here looking for nothing in general but walked out with three great books to add to my queue. Love this little nook style book store with an abundance of recommendations around any genre. One can wander about the store and find little sitting corners to nestle down with a book on. This place is open till midnight and has a laid back feeling about it. Plus, it is delightful to be surrounded by the smell of books and by the people who love them.”

“One of the most veteran and special literary organizations, venues, and bookstores around. The staff and board are constantly growing and expanding what they include and bring in for their programming. Their small bookstore is humble, but carries titles that are often out of print and supportive of our great local talent!”

“This is my favorite store in LA. Besides the good deals you can find on movies and video games, this BookOff location carries a large, Japanese language section for manga, art books, and anime-related books. Kinokuniya stores around town may carry new items of this type, but this BookOff is the only place in the country that I've seen a USED Japanese manga section, especially at this size and so well priced. I've been able to collect the original Dragon Ball run for just a few dollars a volume, as well as stumble on art books I never would have been exposed to in the US. Honestly if you can't afford a trip to Japan, come here instead!”

“Love this little store. Sure, you have to pay full price & I haven't seen anything on sale here yet, but it's at the airport so it is what it is. I just like that they sell all kinds of books from all kinds of people and all kinds of cultures. It's not your standard airport storewith a book area where all you see are bestsellers and gossip rags. They have a lot of topics to choose from. If you enjoy books and reading, definitely go check it out.”
