Low key a great book store. Differnt than your standard Barnes and Noble. Haha so very different. In such a good way. Small but tasteful. The front desk plays some low key dope music. Lots of art magazine and books. You can definitely lose a few hours here and come out inspired. The have a great kids area with awsome books.
A great selection of books. I stop in practically every time I walk by. There is a great selection of new and used childrens books. Staff is friendly, but gives you plenty of space to leisurely browse. Parking can be difficult in the Los Angeles; especially during the Sunday farmers market.
A great used book store! I brought some of my old books here and turned them in for store credit. I wasnt able to use all the credit that day, so they easily saved it in my account so I can use it at a later date. Very convenient!
I come here about once a week. Aaron is always great about ordering books I want and get them on a timely manner. He loves what he is doing, there are a good amount of new books there, lot of old books, great customer service.
This is an amazing store! My husband and I had no idea what it was going in. We just saw a book store and wanted to see more and were pleasantly surprised to discover such an incredible place.
There are a small cadre of bookstores left in Los Angeles. A smaller group of them specialize in art; in this rarified group, ARTBOOK is one of the best. I find fascinating and beautiful publications here for me and to aid my teaching. ARTBOOK is especially strong in the contemporary arts.
If I can give them zero stars I would!!!I stopped by this bookstore after the Guillermo Kuitca solo exhibition, which by the way was great exhibition. I heard the art book store at Hauser & Wirth had great collection so I went to check it out. Im a huge fan of Lucian Freud so when I found the his book on top of the shelf, I immediately asked the worker if I can take a look at it. While I was looking through the book, another worker came and LITERALLY TOOK the book I was reading out of my hands and asked if I was going to purchase it. I had my eye on this book collection for a while because it was pricey (~$400) I knew I was going to purchase it but wanted to just take a quick peek before purchasing. I was livid, I mean I did go into the bookstore a little under dressed, but to have an employee discriminate me and belittle me like that was not only embarrassing, but hurtful. I had my mind set to purchase it today, but because of the horrible customer service I decided to purchase it else where. No one should be treated the way I was treated today at the bookstore and if you plan on coming here be ready to be treated poorly.
Very cool little bookstore.
Nice place for the family
Great selection of art books
