This space has had a real positive impact on me. I attended an event hosted here, and was able to connect with a nonprofit and found a volunteer opportunity that I most likely wouldn't have discovered otherwise. The store fosters connections and supports the community through various activities. I definitely want to check out one of the rock shows in the future.

I love how they organize their records here. Or maybe I just really love the selection. It's sort…read moreof the perfect amount. Not so much that you are going to be overwhelmed, but unique enough that you find things you never anticipated. I really love the alternative indie stuff they had, i love that they also carried sound tracks from movies. Just a really great selection and they had a bit of everything. I left with an album from Big Frieeda, the queen diva you besta beliva. I didn't know I needed that, but hell yes. I also love that they have their own merch and sets of t-shirts that they make. Some of the shirts are also LGBT represented, which is always a plus in my book! Service was good, the guy rang us up quickly and was polite. Value of records are no different from other places, so neither good or bad. They also have another shop next door that has alternative stuff and a museum in the back. So if you are going out of the way like we were, there is still more to see! I would like to try and go back to this one at some point!

Walking into CD Trader felt like stepping into a time capsule--in the best way possible. I'm from…read morethat generation where CDs and records weren't just things, they were experiences. And this place? It gets it. There's something about flipping through dusty records that just hits different. It's like walking into a thrift store and catching that mid-century smell--you either understand it or you don't. I do. I live in band tees 90% of the time, and this spot is basically my natural habitat. I've built up little collections over the years--certain genres, classics I refuse to let go of--and being here made me actually consider bringing some pieces back in. But also... you never know when the internet might betray you, and suddenly that random DVD becomes essential again. The vibe here is unmatched, super nostalgic without trying too hard. And the service? Genuinely great. Friendly, helpful, and not pushy at all. Also--fell completely in love with a Madonna T-shirt that I absolutely need in my life. Definitely coming back. Easy five stars.

This is probably the largest selection of vinyl and CDs in the SFV, for sure worth checking out if you are the type that collects your own media... there's always a deal or two lurking if you look hard enough. Parking can be tight, there's a lot in the back and some street parking available, but it's a bit of a walk to the store if the spots in front are all taken. I notice a few people commenting on their experiences with the staff here, and it really depends on who you get. There's at least one employee who appears to think that this place would be great if it wasn't for all the pesky customers :-) however the vast majority of my interactions with the staff here have been very positive.

Also, it gets super hot in the summer so be sure to bring water and maybe an umbrella because shade is scarce. There is an absolutely fantastic selection of vintage clothes and purses, as well as homewares and toys. This market is a little on the smaller side when you compare it to something like the Rose Bowl Flea, but it's got the same vibe. There was still plenty of stalls to browse!

There are many ordinary things like thrifty shops. But, for someone is not American, some objects are the most interesting for the American life. I didn't ask price there. The selection is really curious. Ext time with some money, maybe I get lucky to find something. The parking lot is free, $5 the entrance, a two food truck, and alive music.

I have found some great pleated skirts for $5! A wool camel jacket for $8.99. Seriously quality merchandise in all sizes. This is a self help place. There is no service to speak of and there are no dressing rooms. So what you buy you keep. But is well worth the investment.

Here was probably eight bucks. You really get a lot of value for what you spend. Everything is clear the employees and people who volunteer there are super friendly and helpful and don't harass you or follow you around like other thrift stores tend to do. They have a really big selection of kids items as well upstairs and men's and women's clothing I keep finding myself going back every time I have extra money lol really humble workers as well. me and my mom love it here. Check it out if you're ever in the San Fernando Valley area.

This store is exactly what I mean. I loved the open book in Northridge when it was on Tampa and still when it moved inside the mall. Was excited when this location opened. I am a sucker for old books and this place has ample with a really cool ambiance to it. Kinda like a nerdy library. I say that because they also have comics, collectibles and even have a section for banned books. As if you're buying something taboo. Staff is always friendly, place is organized so you know where to look, they always have some type of deal going on. So great value no matter what you buy. So if you're in the hunt for something to read, just skip Amazon for a change and support your local bookstore. Let's keep brick and mortar stores alive!

All books, to my knowledge and memory, were sorted alphabetically by author last name. Prices were shockingly reasonable! It became too easy to rack up the total price; six books for fifty dollars! Perhaps it is an issue alone to compare, but one would not be able to get as many books of this quality at similar prices in bookstores like Barnes & Noble. I am unsure if the total price was altered by the "buy one, get one half off" sale that was active the day I purchased from The Open Book. I approached two staff members to see if they had a specific book available; the book was not in stock, but both staff members were very easy to approach, friendly, and genuinely helpful! I would recommend anyone to bear with the parking and traffic to check this shop out!
