What customers say

Really nice local.bookstore and record label. Many albums from the 60s and 70s from popular names in rock, including some rare originals. Book collection is also very interesting and well curated.

I evaluate this store based on it’s collection of vinyls. I have started to like these bookstore/recordstore combos. When my significant other loves books (and can’t understand my fondness of vinyls) we both can enjoy stores like this is. They had vinyls upstairs and downstairs.

★★★★☆ — Ari, 2019-01

Came originally for the vinyl and was more than pleasantly surprised. Though they cater more 60-80’s with a lot from the usual suspects, I was happy to find some really amazing gems both classic and modern. Their used records are nicely curated seemingly to only feature high quality used.

★★★★☆ — Neil, 2020-01

I've been coming here for about 16 years, it's like a secret jewel, on the casp between Venice & Santa Monica - tons of treasures, great selection of books, both fiction & non fiction. Delicious collection of vinyl records and CDs, and gorgeous abstract artwork, by the owner, who is a local artist: Rocco Ingala.
