Dan has the most amazing collection of Sci-Fi and fantasy books and memorabilia I have ever seen, and that comes from a total Sci-Fi nerd. Great business hours, too! If you're looking for a current or obscure genre book, chances are he has it in stock. Some famous writers also frequent this amazing shop as well. When I'm here, I almost always stumble across a rare book I haven't read! The selection is simply second to none. Dan is also a fan of the genre and can discuss any book or author! I always make a point to stop in when I'm in the OC! 10/10 would recommend.

The owner Dan was an informative nice guy, I go to the coin shop next door every week and I decided to check it out. I purchased misc. Collectibles for me and for xmas some gifts for family. I think it's worth the trip to see for yourself. I honestly don't know why anyone wouldn't give this store a 5 star or at the least a 4 star based on you can't please everyone 100 percent of the time.

What's better than losing and finding yourself in a cozy bookstore on a rainy gloomy day.I had a great experience here and I love the concept of having a bar (with happy hour), a cafe and a actual restaurant connected to the bookstore. You can read your books at the bar as well.I was surprised by how many people visiting this place. It can be a little overwhelming but still the vibe is great.

Lots of good old stuff in this place (Books, Magazines, Comics, etc) It's a hidden gem. Business owner is retired and you can tell he's not in it for the money but for the love of old stuff. Very reasonable prices.

Been here a few times - but recently the proprietor took our experience from awesome to epic... This collectibles/bookshop has a lot of great books, magazines, small collectibles - we have found things here we never knew we were looking for - but our last visit the owner went out of his way to make sure we knew about a book show in Glendale that was epic for the other half. Long time fan of Peter Beagle and the Pini's of Elfquest fame - we saw them and more at the show the very next day....talk about taking service to the highest levels! Thanks again!

Okay store. Okay experience. The owner has impressive selection of military/world war books. Most of the books are however overpriced for used books. Asked if they have any section for a dollar or something, the person working there said: "No we are not 99 cents store."Quite unnecessary really. You sell used books. This is not exactly Harrod's.

Nice specialized bookstore in North OC focused on military history, scifi, and fantasy. Owner has encyclopedic knowledge of genre writers and screenwriters, having met a lot of them. Right next to Anne's Book Carnival, visit both!

I found a few random books that were super cheap so I couldn't resist. I also found out that the buy used books/dvd's so I went recently with a box of things I was going to donate and while they didn't seem to accept most of my stuff (not sure what their algorithm is) and they don't pay much per item, they did take a few and I was able to leave the rest for them to donate for me. I'll definitely be back with my next box of books and dvds to donate!

Pretty much all collectibles. He said he only really buys from regular customers. If you were willing to pay, they had WWll books and other history. Also a shelf full of sci fi books.

I love the place they have many different greeting cards postcards and books. They also buy second hand books, my onky concern they accept very few of them i bought a luggage full of books and they only took two books. They are all in good quality i even present a book that i bought for 100 dollars but they rejected it. They told me to send them to goodwill :(.. So i gave the rest to library :)

I like Dog Eared because for some odd reason they stock an amazing selection of used memoirs. I also love the food section tucked into the back, I just wish they devoted the whole store to used stuff.

Amazing selection, incredibly friendly and knowledgeable staff, hairless cat, a comfy couch, and tons of events. The only way this place could be better is if they give me the books for free, but I wouldn't take them because I prefer to help pay their rent so they can stick around. I wrote the first draft of my first fiction novel on the couch in the back and the staff members would bring me coffee, tea, grapes and the cat.

If you have even the slightest interest in the fantasy/sci-fi/horror genre, GO TO BORDERLANDS. This place is, by far, the best bookstore I've ever been to. It's a geek's heaven set in The Mission that has stolen my heart. Came here to get my Wheel of Time copy signed by Brandon Sanderson and Harriet. I will definitely be coming back here to delve into other great novels.

This bookstore's selection is almost entirely focused on military history and science fiction. I didn't spend much time perusing through military history, admittedly, but I loved the science fiction collection.
