My favorite place to shop for books in

My favorite place to shop for books in Southern California. I love to get lost in the tiny aisles, and the owner couldn't be more helpful. Check out the "secret" back room for some true literary gems.

This bookstore has tomes stacked to its wood rafters -- if you're looking for something scholarly, offbeat, or esoteric, this place is for you. Over the years this charmingly musty La Jolla treasure has hosted readings by such powerhouses as Norman Mailer, Gore Vidal, Allen Ginsberg, and Maureen Dowd. Open Monday to Saturday 10am to 7pm, Sunday 11am to 6pm.
