I love how the local authors are highlighted! The place has great big windows which are great except some of the books looked faded because of that which I don't mind but some people might.

I first came across Twenty Stories after going to Aleppo Sweets right next door on Ives Street. I…read morecame back to Twenty Stories on Thursday, July 25th. When I walked in, Alexa was packing books and told me she was getting their teal vintage bookmobile (love the color) ready for Newport Folk Fest. I informed her I only wanted to take a look at the cards and Shorthand notebooks. She said as long as I didn't mind the mess, I can take a look. The store is spacious. By the front (cash register) is the card wall and the notebooks section (LEUCHTTURM1917 notebooks, Moleskine notebooks, and Shorthand notebooks.) I was so excited to see that Twenty Stories carried Shorthand products when I had first popped into the store. I have a few items from Shorthand and their quality is superb. Shorthand is a stationary company in Los Angeles specializing in creating tools for productivity and creativity - notebooks and office supplies that strike a balance between being functional and aesthetically pleasing. I purchased a lavender reporter (a compact notebook). The cover is letterpressed with Title and Date lines. At checkout, I was given a free Twenty Stories bookmark. Also don't forget to check-in on Yelp to get the offer - 10% off your purchase. I didn't use it this time, but will definitely use it next time. I learned that every month, the two owners, Alexa Trembly and Emory Harkins, hand-select twenty titles to feature in their store. They sift through hundreds of titles to find the most inspiring, innovative, and thought-provoking books out there, and at the center of the curation is a diverse list of authors, themes, and publishers. They also bring their bookmobile to different events. If you are in the area, you should check out Twenty Stories if you are a bookworm or a stationary aficionado.

Wanted me to go thru a process of signing an agreement that they had refunded me said amount, ect. THEN! When the 2 packs arrive, they are the wrong color. Dave, I guess the owner, was a huge prick and told me pretty much to get lost and it was out of his control, even though after my claim, they have sense made changes to the listing to make it say its NOT THE COLOR IN THE PICTURE LISTED ON THE WEBSITE! So, all in all, I paid 300+ to have to turn around and $58.20 to ship them back for a refund. Absolutely AVOID this company. ZERO CUSTOMER SUPPORT.

I found books I'm familiar with (Autobiography of Malcom X), and books I've never heard of but am happy to have now. There are also vintage and antique books (individual and in sets), and some collectibles. The genres are well-marked throughout, and there are more downstairs. Speaking of stairs, they were wide and sturdy, and even my bad knees didn't complain. The pricing is very fair for new & old books. Highly recommend a regular stop at Paper Nautilus!
