Small World Books Venice, CA

Venice Beach - Why wouldn’t you visit? Buy a book and read at the beach!

A hidden entrance is off to the side of a beach-facing restaurant. They seem to allow cats, either that or they have really bad security.- lol - All locals know they have a store cat.

Vroman’s Bookstore Pasadena, CA

Southern California’s Oldest and Largest Independent Bookstore.

You want it, they got you covered + then some at their huge store in Pasadena. 2nd floor houses children’s lit. selections. Worth a visit to spend a day as they have a cafe as well.

I am a supporter of all bookstores and have enjoyed taking students on field trips to various bookstores.

This page is dedicated to independent booksellers and their uniqueness. With cafes in house or connected to these locations, the stores listed are tailor-made for longer visits, field trips, or to visit with a book club or lit. circle. Show them support if you are in their area!
