I'm also glad that the narrow escalators were working when I went there, I was able to have $10.00 off my purchase and best of all I got to find three Green Grass Rabbits at the Last Chance Sale for next Easter because I didn't think they would still have those out and I was glad to advantage of the sale and when I put the three Green Grass Rabbits up in my room on my bedroom table for next Easter I'll remember getting them at the Last Chance Sale.

    A small but mighty bookstore. After years of driving by this spot, what finally brought me in was…read moreseeing them on social media. I stumbled upon a post they did which was in solidarity with a group of people and seeing that our values were aligned I knew this was a local small business that I needed to be supporting from here on out. I came midweek to shop and look around, and I had a great experience. It's a smaller bookstore, but they did have a lot to choose from! I was especially happy to see that they keep up with new and trending authors/books that come out. But of course, they also had a broad selection of every type of book you could think of. Being a smaller independent bookstore they don't have mass quantity though so if you find a book you like you should grab it because they only have a copy or two of each. I found that the pricing was comparable to anywhere else but again when you shop here you're supporting local small businesses so even if it was a little pricier, it would be worth it to me. They had a cute child's/kids section in the back so it would definitely be a great place to bring your little one to look around or read a story. The vibes are welcoming, but I also appreciate when staff leave you to look around without standing over your shoulder. The gal working behind the register was super nice and checked me out with quickness, that I was in and out without issue. Nice people work here, they have a decent selection and overall it was a cute little shop that I will be back to support again soon.

    I enjoy coming to this location of The Open Book for a solo day out, and while there's isn't much…read morestaff interaction unless initiated yourself, there are fun events and book clubs that are hosted monthly :) I especially love to come when they do mini art markets with 3-4 vendors, and I've gotten some cute things while interacting with fellow artists. Also, I appreciate that they're very LGBTQ+ friendly, and I hope that I can make it to their future community mixers. Aside from that, their books are priced affordably, and I like that they recently integrated a crafting supplies section. Feel free to give this place a chance if you're looking to engage with the community or find your next read!

    I really enjoy The Open Book chain. Each store has its own flavor and personality. I don't come to…read morethis location often because it's a bit far from where I live but it's always a treat when I can visit. Currently this location and the Canyon Country one are doing buy backs. I had a small stack of books to resell and thankfully they took all of them. Years ago, you had to make an appointment to sell but now you can just come in during business hours. I really like the layout of this location. It's spacious and conducive to browsing and literally getting lost in a book. The different sections have nicely themed signs. If this location wasn't so far, I'd come here regularly for their book clubs. Maybe you can go and I can live vicariously thru you.
