Really cute book store with a great selection. I loved the hand written reviews in the books! There is even a cat here. Books seem a little over priced though.

WHAT DID I GET:  I got a fancy shmancy journal with a pretty cool skull drawing on the front.

HOW WAS THE STORE/EXPERIENCE:  The bookstore is pretty cozy and well-kept.  It has a surprisingly awesome selection.  That said, their customer service/attitude is pretty lacking.  When I went there today, the people who were working there seemed utterly bored, apathetic and bothered, and when I tried to make conversation with them, they had this look on their faces like I just sneezed at them.  I'm not asking them to treat me like the king of England, but just...can they not act like they're just too cool for everything?

HOW MUCH DID IT COST:  The journal was a little over $14.

WOULD I COME BACK/RECOMMEND THIS PLACE:  Part of me wants to recommend and come back because I love supporting local bookstores and stationary stores.  However, part of me DOESN'T want to because of their lackluster, craptacular attitude towards their customers.

An intriguing selection of books. I wasn't immediately inspired by the vibe to linger and browse. Which of course, with so much foot traffic off Venice Beach, is likely by design. If you find yourself staying in the hood and wish to stock up on a good read to burrow into - this is the place. Small World Books was an enjoyable contrast to the main fare of fun and audacity on the walk at Venice Beach. Book Soup in West Hollywood had a more sociable vibe for me, clearly encourage by Book Soup through their frequent hosting of readings by notable authors.
