The 'Crazy, Beautiful, Idiosyncratic' Bookstores of L.A.

Shelf Awareness

The Last Bookstore, L.A.
"Los Angeles has glorious beaches, stunning cityscapes and more than its share of highly photogenic human beings. And though it may not be known for its bookstores, they too are out of this world," Jacket Copy observed in showcasing some of the city's "crazy, beautiful, idiosyncratic bookstores."

Noting that "some are extraordinary and unusual" while others "are humble or handsome," Jacket Copy wrote that what "these diverse shops share is a pride of ownership. They're all independents, run by people who believe in print books, no matter what any futurists may say.
