You can never have too many books!! They had plenty of genres to choose from and I found me a rom-com book I ended up grabbing to take home. Prices are really good in this location, even on the newer books they had too. They also had an area to shop of employees favorites, blind date with a book and even little gift sets for that book lover in your life. Also the girls here are all really friendly and helpful. Glad I could come in today and grab a book to support a local business! **if you spend $10 or more get a stamp card for their reward perks. *located across from H&M in the mall. read more

A book lover's dream! The Open Book is a great third space in the Valley with plenty of books, vinyl records, collectibles, and events. Staff has always been friendly and helpful in my visits and with so many options to choose from, there's definitely something for everyone. I believe there are both new and used books in stock and prices range but there are affordable options for books in great condition. I have not attended any of the events yet, but it's nice to see a space for community and connection and I look forward to going to one soon! read more

Truly love this bookstore. I have found a couple of books of my favorite Hollywood star...Katharine Hepburn as well as movie scripts etc. , vintage pieces and more. Hopefully they will open up locations nationwide read more

What a great bookstore I don't know if all the items they have here are used but I did see a few that looked new. They have a great collection and some very antique books that are a collectors dream. The staff was very friendly and helpful. This is a great spot inside the mall and I love how organized the shop is. They have great books and all were very reasonably priced. Would recommend coming here on your next book search read more

Amazing Open Book location upstairs at the Northridge Fashion Center. Incredible collection of all kinds of items, including books, vinyl, toys, games, CDs, DVDs, VHS and other collectibles. This store also has lots of seating inside and out to enjoy a few moments to reflect and relax while enjoying some classic and contemporary items. It's definitely worth walking around and taking your time to discover hidden gems. The staff are super friendly and the prices are great. Check them out! read more

Newly opened bookstore at the Northridge Fashion Mall. They do sell used and new books. They don't buy though except for Canyon Country and Simi Valley locations. I love reading so I got intrigued when I saw the sign and decided to check it out. I didn't buy any book but I purchased some lovely fancy jewelries. They have an array of great selections of book titles either for kids, teens or adults. They have an area for knick knacks and display case for vintage watches, jewelry and the like. Book prices are usually lower than most of the other stores. Employees greets you and offers to help out with your inquiries and advice for a good deal or a good book title. Come check it out whenever you're in the area... read more

First time at The Open Book store inside Northridge Fashion Mall on Tampa Ave. Such a neat and spacious book store. It has a modern library feel. The Open Book has several sections. The Kids section in the back is pretty well designed with a table for reading books. They made sure to make it kid friendly with numerous selection of books ranging in ages from toddler years to teeny bopper years. The other section to the right of the Kids section is more of a relaxing area where you can sit and play chess. It's also inviting to book collectors and readers. Definitely has a library feel to it. Great pricing of gently used books. Majority of the books look like they are in good condition. They are priced at 50% off the original price of the book. I found and bought 2 books that I'm excited to read. Will let friends and family know about The Open Book Store where you can find plenty of great books to read in good condition. read more

I was walking through the Northridge mall and found this amazing book store at the way end, across from H&M. I was surprised with the options, just about any Genre of book they have it, and they have an amazing kid section of books. As the weather chills and I'm spending more time at home I was looking for a new read, I found several. There is even a couch in the back that I could start my new book. Just a bonus, I was happy to see that the prices were below the price on the books. I was helped quickly and was given a stamp card for a discount in the future, they were very helpful when they checked me out. read more

Absolutely love their new location. It's so spacious and they're able to display more books as well as the unique trinkets and antiques they have. Everything is clearly labeled and categorized nicely, making browsing easy and fun. They have cool things such as a display of "Blind Date with a Book" and a big Kids book section. They have couches and chairs around were people can hangout and it makes it all the more welcoming. Of course they continue to have great prices. Will definitely be back for more good reads once I tackle my to-be-read pile lol read more

This location is at the old Disney Store upstairs. I'm so grateful for The Open Book because they really have been a hub for the community. At their previous location, they held all kinds of events such as Open Mic Nights, Book Clubs, and Art Marts. I know it's only a matter of time before this new location starts to host similar events. We need more places like this in the Valley where people can hangout and meet new friends that doesn't involve going to a club or bar. As far as their selection, while there are many previously loved books, you can also find many new items (some in their original plastic packaging!) There is a pretty good selection of vintage books in you're a collector. Make sure to take a look at the Staff Picks to get to know some of the staff if you don't get a chance to have a conversation with them read more

Apparently open book closed the location across from Costco and took over the vacated Disney store location inside the Northridge mall. Was news to me until I was at the mall and saw it this past weekend. In the end, I love a good ol brick and mortar bookstore that also has fun collectibles. I hope people provide patronage so it can succeed and keep the live stores alive! read more

A very fun place to look around. Antique books, modern books, children's books, costume jewelry, antiques, collectibles and all manner of curiosities. The pleasant smell of vintage paper will give your senses a break from the usual odor of modern retail. read more

I came to finally check out this new bookstore that took over the Disney store in the Northridge Fashion Center on the second floor. I thought this as just another book store but was totally wrong. They sell jewelry here as well and have like a showroom toward the back of the store. They don't allow drinks or food inside so be aware of that. They also have a kids area toward the back as well if they want to read a book there. They also don't do refunds or exchanged here so I don't think that's a good business strategy. I didn't really look at their books collection here but I might when I come back again. read more

they had wide range of categories for all ages and they have wonderful service. They were very inviting and budget friendly. Highly recommended 5 out of 5 stars. read more

I still like this bookstore, but ever since they moved into the Northridge mall, they aren't as inexpensive as they used to be which is disappointing. I imagine the extra we're paying is probably going to more expensive rent! read more

Weird vibes at the register today, one of the employees took a dollar someone had just tipped and waved it around sarcastically, talking about splitting it four ways. The tipper was still in the shop read more

We are brand new to the area and we wandered upon this book store. One of my friends was confused to if this was a library and a random employee interrupted us and rudely corrected my friend that this was book store. It unnecessarily embarrassing and rude to my friend and we left. Not only was it rude but nosey. read more

I loved spending time here! Val was super helpful and happily answered questions I had. The prices are great and I love the selection of antique collectible things they have. A great experience overall read more
