The Last Bookstore

In May 2012 KROQ said, “If you’re looking for a vintage record or rare book that you can’t find anywhere else, or if you’re interested in discovering a cool spot to hang out at during the week, The Last Bookstore may be just the place for you.” The Last Bookstore is California’s largest used and new book and record store. I’ve always had a love for books and reading, so I added this well-known bookstore to my LA Bucket List before I had even moved here. Downstairs is a ginormous bookstore (pictured above) and the upstairs area includes lofts full of local artists’ studios and galleries. I loved wandering around, exchanging friendly smiles with all of the artists, and briefly checking out the expansive collection of old and new books. The decor is vintage, eclectic and beautiful in a unique way, and it’s truly a book lovers paradise. If you decide you want to pay it a visit, don’t forget to look for the infamous tunnel of books! Check out this vintage, one-of-a-kind bookstore at 453 S Spring St, Los Angeles, CA 90013.
