“This place is a hidden gem, it offers all the first editions. We were greeted by someone who was very friendly and took the initiative to explain about the store to us. Didn’t buy anything except for their tote bag”
“Is a unique and iconic adult store known for its diverse selection of books, toys, and LGBTQ+ items, it’s a fun and welcoming spot in the city. The staff is friendly, and the store offers a quirky, no-judgment vibe...”
“Excellent business excellent service i've been going to Internook for many years. I always find what I need books for kids, crossword puzzles, and souvenirs. Alena is always can suggest and help with good choice”
“It’s easy to forget what it takes to keep a small, independent store alive — especially in a place like West Hollywood and especially when that store serves such a deeply personal and emotional purpose. My 12 Step Store has stood as a resource, a refuge, and a place of celebration for those of us in recovery. RJ, the founder, has put his heart and soul into this vision for over two decades, and it shows in the store’s global reach and local presence.
Are there areas for growth? Of course. Every small business has growing pains — especially one run largely by a single individual trying to balance online operations, in-store customer service, and inventory in a niche space. But that doesn’t erase the impact this store has had on thousands of lives, including my own. To be able to walk in and buy a meaningful gift for someone’s sobriety birthday — and to feel connected to a larger community of recovery — is something truly rare.
We need more places like this, not fewer. And we need to remember that the people behind them are human, too. I’m grateful this store exists and proud to support it.”

“Beautiful book collection - and the handwritten recommendations were excellent. Love the way they organized it too so that you stumbled upon all sorts of titles you might never see at other big box types.”
