Once Read Books

Came here today for the first time- such a lovely, cozy bookstore with soooo many books! The books are organized by genre and names which is super helpful to find a specific author/book.nnI fell in love with a book that was a bit out of my price range, and one of the gentlemen at the counter was kind enough to give me a generous discount.nnMy husband and I had a wonderful experience and will definitely be back when I need a new read.nHighly recommend checking out this store! 💗🙏💗

There’s a large selection of second-hand books here! It’s small and quiet, but they were asking me if I needed help more than once. Definitely would go if you have more time just to explore, as there are a lot of different categories. The books are organized well, and they have lots of boxes of books they will be going through to add to their collection. Would especially recommend if you’re into older books and other print goods, as I found old maps and an old magazine from the early 1900s.

Not the most friendly proprietor. No hardbound books by choice of owner.nStore is quite small and congested. But it must have something going for it because it's been there for several years. Area is called Viking Way and has been a grp of small businesses since the 1940's at intersection of Carson St. And Bellflower Blvd. Several interesting places there.

It was hard to find. Park close and walk. The door is right on the corner.nThe selection is vast, and the prices make the trip worth your while.

This bookstore is in the tradition of LA and OC bookstores: high wooden shelves loaded with books of all ages, boxes of books waiting on the floor to be shelved, and interesting, unexpected finds to be made! The kids section is a good size, as is the novels section. The second Saturday of the month is street-stall day with lots of craft tables and a chill, relaxing vibe. The surrounding neighborhood is the same. There is plenty of parking.
