    What a fun place if you love Anime, Books, CD's, Manga and Japanese Action Figures (I think that is what it's called), this is my first time here...most of the merch are "pre-loved" but they do have some new items too. Service here was awesome. You can return used books here they will pay you depending on the value of (sorry I forgot what it's called) but it's from .05 to $10. It's near Target and parking is free. Oh! They have albums here too!!

    My bf and I LOVE book off so we were stoked to finally have one in the valley and not have to struggle with finding and paying for parking at the Little Tokyo one. Perfect location and tons of free parking spots! We came by the day after their grand opening and it was busy but nothing crazy. The workers greeted us while helping other customers. There are fans everywhere just blowing hot air so it was kind of not a great time in there if it's crowded. Maybe the AC isn't installed yet or stopped working? Idk. Tons of figures and collectibles, plushies, Funkos, books, DVD's, pokemon cards. There really is something for everyone in here. I mainly browsed through the plush and figures but the prices were all over the place. Some more close to retail and whatever you find one eBay, others are just way over priced and didn't make any sense. It was still really cool to see everything even though we walked out empty handed. Will definitely be visiting more often to see what new stuff pop up! IG: @ammysalamii

    This spot just opened yesterday and I love that the West Valley has another place to buy secondhand books and media. In honor of Earth Month, I encourage everyone to shop used instead of buying brand new things. Secondhand bookstores like this offer a way to explore your sustainability journey at any budget. The store is well organized and I was pleasantly surprised by how many Anime-related things (think: figurines, collectibles, plushies, etc.) they have here. Many are brand new or in their original packaging. There's a wide selection of DVDs, CDs, and Blu Ray for sale here. There's also a decent clearance section of books in the back. The best part is they do buybacks here where you'll be able to get cash for any books, media, and collectibles that are still in good condition but you're looking to re-home. Plenty of parking as it shares a shopping enter with Target on Ventura and Desoto.

    Came here for their grand opening at 10am. Was there about 9:36am and was around 20th in line. The cute mascot was entertaining us as we waited. At 10am they let us in and I was inundated with so much eye candy. Video games. Anime figures. Books. CDs. Vinyls. Funko pops. Comics. Plushies. This isn't just an anime shop, there is something for everyone. You could spend a long time just sifting through the immense inventory. I didn't stay too long as I had movie reservations but in the time I was inside, I was able to check out every aisle and spent about $26 on one graphic novel, three comics and a Funko pop figure. Come check it out. It's a fun shop and a welcome addition to the area

    Like a lot of people, I saw Bookoff popping up on social media. Being a bookworm, I'm always down to visit another bookstore and grow my collection (physical books/media forever!). Located off of Ventura Blvd & De Soto Ave in Woodland Hills, Bookoff is a chain with other locations, but this is the only one in the Valley. It has a shared parking lot with other businesses so you'll find a spot no problem. You have to keep in mind that they just opened the store last week, so there's going to be some learning pains as time goes on. Honestly, I thought there would be more books. The selection currently available is a bit chaotic to say the least. I like that they have clearance sections that are marked for one or two dollars in the back. The aisles in the middle of the store are regularly priced, with all books separated by genre/authors. However, the way they decided to organize everything makes my eyes twitch! Genres will stop/start in the middle of a shelf, so one minute you're in the mystery/thrillers then the next book is the start of the erotic section. Go through the cookbooks and all of a sudden you're inundated with religious books. I get that maybe they don't have enough books to have completely separate sections for genres, but I think I'd rather have the empty spaces. It'd also be easier to replenish everything if they made room for more - as it stands, I honestly don't know how they would display any new inventory since everything is crammed together. A lot of store space is dedicated to figurines, anime collectibles, graphic novels, and comic books. They also have movies and TV shows on DVD/Blu-ray/4K, a large CD collection, some vinyl and even cassette tapes. If you're a gamer, they also have older systems and games for sale. There's two lines at the front counter - one for checkout and one for sellers. You can try to sell whatever you don't want (full list is displayed in store and online) for cash. With a lot of their selection being on the cheaper side, I can't imagine you'd get a high offer for most everything but what do I know. Overall I can't say that I'd go out of my way to return, but if you're in the area it might be worth checking out once. They have a lot of inexpensive things, but you'll have to dig around to find anything worthwhile. Since the store just opened, it gets a bit packed and the aisles aren't the widest so expect to be shoulder-to-shoulder in some parts.

    Great atmosphere, cool staff, and really good book selection! Love their social media book…read morerecommendations as well - that's how they lure me into the store. I love their tote bag discount and stamp cards, and if you love books, you'll end up racking up a lot of stamp cards before being able to use them all They also host a lot of fun events like author signings, book bedazzling, and trivia nights. The store is located in the heart of The Village in Topanga and there's ample parking. If you want to read your haul immediately, you'll find a lot of seats just outside the store. The store is also pet-friendly except on days they have pet guests, and they usually post a sign outside.

    I've always been saying what the village lacks are fun places to shop so that people have a reason…read moreto go there beyond just Costco and the various food locations. This store is exactly what I mean. I loved the open book in Northridge when it was on Tampa and still when it moved inside the mall. Was excited when this location opened. I am a sucker for old books and this place has ample with a really cool ambiance to it. Kinda like a nerdy library. I say that because they also have comics, collectibles and even have a section for banned books. As if you're buying something taboo. Staff is always friendly, place is organized so you know where to look, they always have some type of deal going on. So great value no matter what you buy. So if you're in the hunt for something to read, just skip Amazon for a change and support your local bookstore. Let's keep brick and mortar stores alive!

    I discovered Sunny's Bookshop today, and what a great surprise! It's not just a bookstore; it's…read morealso a flower shop and a gift shop filled with beautiful pottery, cards, trays, and more. They apparently host events with renowned authors, and I definitely plan to attend one soon. The flower bouquets start at $65, and everything in the shop is beautifully curated and well-arranged. I also had a lovely time chatting with the owner/manager--she was incredibly nice, and we had an interesting discussion about the current situation in Iran. Pro-tip: It's adjacent to Laidrey with direct access inside, making it the perfect stop after a coffee!

    I stumbled upon Sunny's Bookshop a few months ago on a whim, hoping to support more local…read morebusinesses -- and what a find. From the moment I walked in, Sunny and her mom Miriam made me feel like I'd stepped into something out of a Hallmark movie. The shop is warm, thoughtfully curated, and radiates the kind of charm that's hard to fake. The front of the store is a cozy mix of beautifully displayed teacups, candles, face oils, and other small-business treasures -- eclectic in the best way. As you move through, you'll find not just books, but stories waiting to be discovered, each one handpicked by Sunny with clear attention and care. If she doesn't have what you're looking for, she'll gladly order it and get it to you quickly -- that kind of service is rare. It's also not your average flower shop. Their dried floral arrangements are lovely, but it's Miriam's custom designs that really shine. She has a natural talent for combining color, texture, and mood -- it's like she's creating bouquets with soul. While I haven't yet had the chance to attend one of Sunny's in-store events, I've talked with her about some of the gatherings she puts together -- and it's clear how much heart and thought goes into every single one. She works hard to bring in respected authors and local artists that her customers will connect with, and she's constantly brainstorming new ways to make the shop a meaningful space for the community. It's that kind of intention and passion that sets this place apart. Since that first visit, Sunny's has become one of my regular stops -- a place that feels like home. Every customer is greeted like a friend, and it always amazes me how many names and faces Sunny and Miriam remember. It's more than a bookshop -- it's a place built with love, care, and a true sense of community.

    The metaphysical shop next to Inn of the Seventh Ray is a really nice little stop, especially…read morebefore dinner. It's clean, thoughtfully put together, and has a beautiful selection of books, crystals, oils, candles, incense, and jewelry. Definitely a great place to browse and take your time. The only thing that threw me off a bit was that the person at the front (near the spiral staircase entrance) was having a full dinner at the register when I walked in. I completely understand needing to eat, but it made the space feel a little less open for interaction. I noticed people, including myself, kind of just looked around quietly and moved on without asking questions or making purchases. I actually had a few things I was considering buying, but I didn't feel comfortable interrupting, so I ended up leaving without them. It might help to have someone cover the front or step away briefly during breaks so the space still feels welcoming and easy to engage with. Overall, it's a beautiful shop, just a small tweak in that area could really enhance the experience.

    They were supposed to stay open until 10:30pm, they didn't. We had gone in before our dinner…read morereservation at The Inn of the 7th Ray and I was going to go back in to buy a bunch of crystals for a friend whose brother was just killed in a motorcycle accident, to help with her grief, and when we went back they had closed AN HOUR early. I am so upset!! I was counting on getting my friend crystals from there. I even said out loud as we walked out that we'd be back after dinner to buy a bunch of items. Don't expect them to be open when they say they'll be open. Bad business practice!!
