    Love this place. Great selection, fun events and awesome staff. They carry a lot of books on social issues and have great staff picks, translated literature and a mix of every genre. I have a membership but I only rec it if you shop often, as it is regularly 10% off. You can order online or over the phone and they can get you pretty much any book.

    It can get confusing at first because there are two separate stores that are not connected to each other. I come here for the unique travel stories/guides and hard to acquire magazines (in chain bookstores). It also has a huge selection of graphic novels. A simple picture of the tree in the bookstore shows everyone in the LA area that you are at Skylight Books. A star is docked because I prefer another local bookstore with good seating area. However, Skylight still gets the job done to fill your bookshelf with interesting finds.

    What a find. We were in the area walking around and happened upon this place. They are very specific in the types of books and I found books I have never seen before. They have lots of options and it's a great place to find some cool books. The staff was helpful and showed me some great selections. Great find
