    cool alley
    Jo S.

    While we were strolling around downtown Santa Ana recently, we stumbled onto Libro Mobile, a tiny, cute bookstore that just opened in the area (it was a book truck before, kind of). Now it finally has its own space off 4th St. with Spurgeon (it's a cute back alley with street art to look at as well), near the Yost Theater. The people working here were very nice, cool, fun to chat with. There isn't an indie bookstore in downtown Santa Ana, so Libro Mobile is a nice addition to the area. They sell mostly gently used books, a bit expensive (half of the regular price). The selection is OK, it could be better organized, but since the business just opened in a regular space, there's time. My husband found a cool film book and I bought it for him (it was his b-day weekend trip!), like I mentioned, $10 (bit steep), but good condition. In the era of bookstores disappearing, it's great to see a new one opening, especially an indie one. So if you live in the area or you visit, check it out. You might find something cool, especially if you're a bookworm like myself. Way to go, Libro mobile!

    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.

    The last couple times I've come in the selection has not been what I'd would call 'extensive' for…read morechildren's books/ novels. Customer service has been nonexistence, no smile, no "welcome," no "how ya doing?" Nothing like that. But my biggest complaint is when I show up during business hours, they are not there. Like today- it's a Tuesday after Memorial weekend. The handwritten note taped to door says they'll return after the 25th. It's 1130 on Tuesday the 26th in the morning. Their hours are posted Tuesday from 10 AM to 6 PM. I've been waiting out front for 30 minutes and nobody is here and this is not a first.

    How in the world did I let this used bookstore slip under the radar? It's been here for 20 years?…read more What? I feel so ignorant! We do not have many independent bookstores around anymore so to find this literally sparked joy! Glad husband and I had a chance to wander through this wonderland of books. There are a lot to dig, for sure. We spent a good hour there, most of it conversing with the owner, Thomas. He is really nice and knows his books for sure! It was super cool getting to know him in such a short period of time. Anyway, I guarantee that you will walk out with a book in hand! I found a couple books...this should keep me busy for a little bit, lol. Husband, of course found a few too, for his library. Every time I mention "let's go the bookstore", husband would always frown because we have so many books! I would respond, "would you rather me shop for another handbag?" LOL. Yea...I didn't think so. Reading is fundamental. Keep on reading and exploring and discovering new stories and adventures in a book near you. Come and support this local bookstore and keep it alive. We need them as much as they need us. Happy reading!
