A large independent bookseller occupying the ground floor of a former bank building on Spring Street, dealing in both new and used books alongside vinyl. The upper level holds the labyrinth of art spaces and the book arch that account for most of the photographs taken here. The Downtown store is the original; the company has since opened locations elsewhere in Los Angeles and beyond, so check which branch you are heading to.
