This cozy independent bookstore may be small, but it's filled with an amazing selection of books. I…read moreespecially loved the variety of Spanish and bilingual titles, along with books by BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and local authors that you don't always find at larger bookstores. The staff is welcoming, and you can really feel their passion for creating a space that brings the community together. I also love that they host workshops, book readings, and offer free resources like Wi-Fi and a community board. The location is in a busy shopping center, but there is parking available. If you're looking for affordable books while supporting a local small business that truly makes a difference, I highly recommend stopping by. Every purchase helps keep special places like this thriving!

This place is absolutely amazing! I drove 35 minutes to go visit what I thought would be this…read morelittle hole in the wall book stand. But I wanted to check it out because I had heard of the good it does for the community and wanted to support it... and also to browse their Spanish book collection. I was immediately taken aback at the diverse selection of both new and used books. Although it is a small store, it is packed with so many good options. I went in to browse and maybe pick up one or two newbies, but ended up leaving w 7 gems. All used books, but in good condition. With taxes, I spent only a little over $30. I was able to pick up books of stories with Mexican, Nicaraguan, Salvadoran, Puerto Rican, and Indian backgrounds. I was in literary heaven! My favorite part of the shop was a little room in the back that has shelves stocked with really old stuff. There are 2 chairs in there for patrons to sit and browse, and black and white photographs draped on the walls to accentuate the room. I had an immediate spike in endorphins! Other pros: the staff is very helpful, they have a little coffee cart from a local business pop up on weekends, and they host various community events/workshops. I love how community oriented this business is and hope that more people continue to support it!

This location is pretty big. I think in comparison to the one I've been to in Monterey Park, I…read morethink this is the better location. However there are other locations around LA/OC area. Out of the 2 locations I've been to, this has a better parking lot as well. Since the store is a lot bigger, that means a lot more selection of figures, books, manga, videos and more. In general, I do enjoy this store as it has great value. I found quite a few things that were quite cheaper here than if you go to a large retail store. If you have anything that you may want to get rid of (but works very well or in good shape) you can see if they're willing to it and give you an estimate. The staff are helpful to help you (the best of their ability) to find what you are looking for or need.

It's really disappointing to see how far they've fallen, especially when it comes to their pricing…read more I don't know what their strategy is with used games and movies, but they seriously need a reality check. In some cases, their used prices actually exceed MSRP. For example, they're charging $70 for a loose, boxless copy of Pokémon Legends: Z-A for the Nintendo Switch 2--which is full retail price for a second-hand, incomplete item. Their trade-in values are just as bad. It's not uncommon for them to offer you a tenth of what they plan to resell your item for. I get that the secondhand market relies on profit margins, and that they're banking on uninformed sellers looking for quick cash, but they're doing it at the expense of their loyal, long-time community. At this point, books are the only category where you can still find a decent deal. For anything else, you're much better off using eBay or finding a different store.

Went here on a whim on a late morning on Wednesday and got 12 good books for $40 out the door! I…read morewould say 90% of their books range from only $1-$3. It's very organized, clean and the customer service from the cashier was kind and friendly. I would say come in earlier in the day as possible because I went back again a second time later in the evening as I was in a rush the first time in the morning and a lot of books I had my eye on were gone by the time I came back again. The cashier said they get new books in stock daily though. There is an OG location at The Shops at Mission Viejo mall on the second floor next to the bowling alley. I prefer the one here in Santa Ana Main Place Mall as this location has a Christian book section whereas the one in Mission Viejo does not. Both are great bookstores nonetheless. Would definitely come back!

The only problem is you will end up taking books home because you will find so many gems here for a great price. Definitely come here, and tell your bookworm friends. Totally work it, and the owner is friendly.

I found a beautiful coffee table book, a thoughtful anthology, a delightful cookbook, a wonderful classic, two gifts for my mom, two books that were adapted into famous movies, two very different memoirs, and perhaps best of all, one book that the owner noted as "really good." I got 11 books and 1 very nice compliment on my literary taste!

Okay, this Barnes & Noble hits different. You walk in expecting the usual fluorescent lit, "we ran…read moreout of budget for interior design" bookstore vibe, and instead it's super clean, modern... and actually kind of nice? Almost fancy. A bit sus, honestly. But the book selection is deep and staff is chill and helpful without hovering over you like you're about to steal a Stephen King novel. That parking though... If you've been to The District, you already know that lot is chaos 24/7. Not their fault but be ready for a full-contact sport out there. lastly, I took my kid to the kids' section and it's actually legit, not just three shelves and a beanbag chair. Bought myself a solid 20 minutes of silence while he lost his mind over "Who Was?" books. 10/10, would trade my peace for books again.

The personal staff picks/selections are all wonderful suggestions.
