    Albums and DVD section

    I've driven by this and today I finally went inside. I love that they have a huge selection of CD's, movies, used and new records all at decent prices. I walked in looking for a specific movie soundtrack from the 80's and although I didn't find it I did find a couple of albums that I haven't seen at other stores. I scored on a record I've been looking for and left so happy to have finally found it here.

    Hello a Prince, I love you.

    It's Prince season! In honor of Prince's 65th birthday on June 7th, we popped into Canterbury records to add to the home vault of his purple highness's collection. They have cd's, vinyls, and vhs! Old school! I found a few treasures to take home with me.

    This store was probably a real vinyl record carrier back in the day but now has become a housing for Compact disks and DVDs.So I suggest they lose the record store label and convert into Canterbury Music instead,it suits them better in my opinion. My first impression was where the heck is the precious wax?Oh I see,a small two sided shelf with a limited amount of vinyl and six box sets,really man.I was really expecting to see some Decca and RCA labels lying around but no dice here.I will say this,the collection of silent films on DVD is a pretty cool rarity and to be fair they do have cassettes and 8 tracks on a back wall.In the end of it all I can say it is a decent music and movie shop for the locals. The customer service is a hit or miss and I got the miss.Its not cool when a worker follows you around like if you were O-Dog in Menace to Society making you feel uncomfortable,not cool lady.Peace out.

    The employees at this store are so amazing, sweet & kind! Taylor CDs brought me into this store & I'm glad they did because this is the nicest staff at a record store i have ever encountered!! If you need CDs or vinyls please go to them they could not have been kinder!!

    Signed evermore! Taylor freaking Swift!!!

    The staff here are the NICEST people! I've been to alot of record stores in SoCal searching for signed folklores & evermores so I've experienced many many rude employees at other record stores but the staff here is the reason I drive from Orange County just to go to a record store!! Cannot recommend them enough!!!!

    CAAAAN YOOOOU DIIIIIIG IT? Poo-Bah can!…read more Poo-Bah Record Shop is a time machine disguised as a music store, and let me tell you--it's the place for anyone who appreciates good tunes and even better customer service. My recent visit felt like stepping into a live Spotify mixtape, and here's why. I went in on a mission: find some records as a Christmas gift for a high schooler who's super smart, learning to play piano by ear, and whose taste in music is a mystery to me. No pressure, right? I grabbed a couple of records with piano-heavy tracks and headed home. But something told me, "Maybe give these a spin before handing them off." Glad I did--one of the albums had lyrics I wasn't exactly keen on giving to a kid. Determined to support a small business (because, let's face it, every dollar counts more there), I went back to see about an exchange. Walking in, I braced myself for an awkward return situation. I explained my dilemma at the counter, saying I didn't want a refund but was open to suggestions. And that's when the magic happened. The guy at the register immediately hopped off and started digging through records to find something more suitable. Then, the owner joined in--tag-teaming the search like Billy Taylor and Quincy Jones putting together a jazz masterpiece. They didn't just recommend records; they curated options with the care of someone arranging the perfect piano solo. At one point, I half-expected Ray Charles to pop out from behind the counter, saying, "Now this is how you dig Baby!" They found me some Count Basie to keep things swinging, threw in some Modern Jazz Quartet for that cool, intellectual vibe, and made me rethink my entire approach to gift-giving. I walked out with four records instead of two, grinning like a kid at their first jam session. These folks didn't just help me solve a gifting problem; they brought me back to a time when crate-digging was an art form and music was the language of discovery. As a former DJ, I know the joy of unearthing hidden gems, and Poo-Bah's team shares that same passion and knowledge. If you're into music and crave a place where the love for it runs deep, Poo-Bah Record Shop is it. This place isn't just a record store; it's a soundtrack to the golden era of music and a reminder of why we love vinyl in the first place.

    I like coming here to add to my vinyl collection. You can find a lot of interesting records for…read more$2-4, and I enjoy discovering new artists for myself here. The staff is very engaged and polite.

As one of the oldest independent bookstores in California, it has a really special charm. Inside, there's a wine bar, a coffee shop, and even a cute gift shop upstairs, which makes it easy to spend a lot of time browsing and relaxing. While I was there, I got to listen to an author present her book and answer questions, which added such a unique and memorable touch to the visit. The store was busy, and you could really feel how much people enjoyed being there. The layout is well organized, making it easy to find books by genre. Upstairs, there's a spacious children's section, which is great for families. I also loved the section featuring Orson Welles books and posters. It was a really cool and unexpected addition. Overall, Vroman's is more than just a bookstore as it's an experience. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area!

If you're looking, they even have snacks for your next read STAFF super helpful and friendly. If they don't know your book (they do), they'll ask a coworker who will know it and have all the extra details you didn't know to ask for. PRICE better than affordable: Supportive!

Given that there are a number of dealers represented it should come to no surprise how wide a variety of items can be found here.

I like that, unlike some other antique stores, while there's a lot of things for sale, you can actually navigate the store pretty easily. Big plus in my book. As far as price goes...it's very hard to say. The variety of items is so large, that I'm hard pressed to say whether what's on sale is priced reasonably or not. Definitely a place to explore for an hour.

Their videos are organized by how a cinema fan's mind works. By category, by country, by director. John Woo movies in the Hong Kong director's section. Hou Hsiao-Hsien in Taiwan. There's classic porn from the 70s, 80s and 90s. There are Criterion discs. There are John Huston movies, Godard movies, Wim Wenders and David Lynch. Dario Argento horror movies. Sci-fi. Pre Sci-fi. Post Sci-fi. Brazilian. African. Silent films... I could go on and on. If you are looking for an obscure out of print classic film that's not on streaming, there's an 80% chance that you can find it here to rent. There is street parking nearby. The problem?
