The Last Bookstore

It's a wonderful place to pass time in DTLA. Love the LA Writer's section, where they always have a great selection of Bukowski, Chandler, and Didion titles in stock.

Such a cool bookstore . Shitons of books for whatever you are looking for. Good choice of vinyls too. All in a nicely and strangely decorated mood, it's a must seen.

This place is absolutely brilliant. Huge catalogue, fair prices . You can even read their books in the store sitting on one of their many couches . If you like books you'll love this place.

You have to check your bags in the front. Well worth visiting for the art , book sculptures and of course the selection of books , CDs and vinyl .

If comics are your thing: They're Housed in the "Secret Clubhouse" section on the first floor - they have a great selection of indie stuff (we even found some Zac Gorman signed books )!

Absolute perfection. My favorite place in the world. It’s got books , art , photography . If you’re an artistic person even in the slightest, this is as good as it gets.

This is a great bookstore where you can find multiple editions of your favorite books ! So you can pick if you want a new or used book . They also have cool events so check their calendar!

Well first it's an old bank so architecturally the interior/exterior is pretty well maintained. Favorite features were the horror section upstairs in the second floor fault & lower level safe.

The variety of topics is impressive. It is beautifully designed. Books have become part of the overall design. On the second floor, you can also find artists ' products and more books .

I'm obsessed!! Super cool place to come read books and get lost in the labyrinth . Beware the stuffiness. Come during the week when it's less crowded .

The main floor is massive and meticulously organized by section, and the magnificent upstairs labyrinth and book tunnel is an otherworldly, mad spectacle. Read more

OMG AMAZING. The way they use books to create environments is phenomenal Upstairs galleries worth checking out also.

Take time to check out all the corners of this well designed space! Photo ops everywhere & first edition (signed) hiding right in front of your eyes...

A plethora of books and art galleries as well as aesthetically pleasing upstairs featuring local artists . You can buy the art and shop in the boutiques as well as buy used and new books . Must-see!

The spectacular second floor of this warehouse-esque bookstore pays homage to the vintage book with rainbow color-coordinated bookshelves, gravity-defying literary archways, and secret reading nooks.

Housed in an old bank building, this bookstore is filled with new and used finds. Make sure to visit the upstairs 'labyrinth ' - a walkable maze created entirely from books .

Walking through this bookstore is an experience in itself. Tunnels made of used books and a second floor dedicated to art makes this unlike any bookstore you've ever visited...

Great to go during the week. Too busy on the weekends. Sometimes you don't get phone service. The used books are pretty cheap for their condition. If buying new, look somewhere else before buying.

Amazing bookstore in the heart of DTLA. Love the design, and the extensive Sci-Fi/Fantasy section. Used book prices are reasonable.

Take your time exploring the second floor, do not rush your experience at this bookstore . Really good deals for foreign language book , and the staff is really nice.

Pop in for a reading or performance at downtown's The Last Bookstore. Or wander the stacks to find some prose or music (the store also sells vinyl records ) worth enjoying together.

It’s probably the prettiest bookstore I’ve ever been in. I spent two hours inside and had to be dragged out by my friend. Good used book finds

Super cool place to plop in a comfy chair with a book on an afternoon. The art gallery/shops upstairs is a must to check out.

Always love stopping by to get some old WWII hardcover books . Great place to browse books or just hang out.

amazing galleries and vendors up top, secret collections and special editions in the vaults. buy, sell, peruse! support your local bookstore . :)

very cool space! great selection of books & neat little shops in the upstairs area .

Awesome random book library upstairs and artists in residency. Also every time you walk in someone yells "Welcome To The Last Bookstore!" I think they are compelled.

upstairs haven of sci fi and vintage. lots of little local vendors and artists on display. great place to suss out a date

Open until 10 PM monday - Thursday, 11 PM on Friday and Saturday and 5 PM on SUnday. And opens at 10 AM seven days a week. Best priced bookstore in LA and one of the largest vintage/used bookstores

Fun place to check out. So many options, interesting space and fun galleries at top.

Huge bookstore . You could spend hours here. The graphic novel section is well curated with fan favorites and independent books .

Be sure to check out the new mini galleries/studios on the second floor, mix of multi-media artists with unique art for purchase!

They make tunnels and other shapes out of books . But it is hard to find a particular book you are looking for. Nevertheless, shop here to bring Amazon down a notch.

Lots of random seats and book-art displays. Has the ambiance of a real bookstore without all the technology.

Great restaurant . We had a great lunch here in the recent past. We enjoyed our meals and the service was excellent.

This is one of the most beautiful bookstores I've ever been to. It has a big selection of books including a section for LA authors.

Seriously amazing book store . Check out the second floor for $1 books . If you're a big manga person, there's also a section for $1 manga that is AWESOME.

A must for every book lover. Includes secret hideouts behind walls and a labyrinth upstairs. Prepare to lose yourself.

A magical bookstore filled with new and used books . You will loose yourself around bookshelves and nice decor.

Lots of vinyl !! lots and lots of vinyl too.... $1 for days, as well as newer stuff for what you're used to paying. Also, you think its awesome downstairs you got no idea....

Great selection of books . Love the gallery floor with artisan shops!

the books are cheap and the store is amazing! must go for all book lovers

So fun to explore! The second floor has fun sections like the horror dungeon ????

Go upstairs!!! There's a part of the store up there where each book is one dollar. This place is really fun to explore.

A must see for book lovers traveling through LA. Don't miss the art & bargain books upstairs.

Cheap used books ! Only $5-6 ..some nice art upstairs and thru the Labyrinth !

This place is a piece of art in itself. The books go on and on, but worth it to take a look.

The best book store I’ve ever seen. You can buy, read, sell or simply explore the huge selection

Great cool local place to visit. Not too sure if you actually buy a book here. Lighting is quite dim
