I've always grown up around libraries and book stores but as I've grown older, I like to enjoy the ambiance as well. Hennessey and Ingalls fits the bill perfectly, with neat row upon row of inspiration. Prices are reasonable, which also helps keep me coming back, not just to window shop. Also located in a great area, the Arts District, which just begs you to find a cafe table and read your new book.

Essential bookstore for anyone who’s a student or interested in architecture or planning.

Not flawless, but notable. Yes, some of the out-of-print or rare titles seem expensive, but the quality and sheer depth of the stock balance that out. They are also more than large enough to wander for quite a while, to find unexpected treasures but not so big that it becomes intolerable.

Chill place to flip through art books and listen to jazz. Helpful and friendly people work here, but they’ll mostly leave you to your own leisure browsing. Cool store with a lot of gems on design.

This is NOT a Barnes and Noble, instead a creative little book shop nestled in a breezy corner of the Arts District 💙 We only stopped in Hennessey + Ingalls for short period of time because it wasn’t until we got there that we realized it was a shop dedicated only to books about architecture, arts, photography, magazines, fashion and more, a lot more. While we didn’t find the book we were looking for, discovering this shop was an even better find. Hennessey + Ingalls is a GEM in the Arts District. They have a beautiful and modern location with easy parking on most days. They categorize everything very well and have wide selections to choose from. I was very happy to see that there were a lot of well-known books and also a lot that were more niche and unheard of for the most part. While wandering around the store, I also saw some selections of cards, notebooks, tote bags and other stationary items for sale. My favorite part was actually the small children’s section. The books there feel handpicked and filled with books about history, niche topics and just some general feel-good books. I think that there’s something for everyone here and well-worth visiting time and time again! Notes - Street Parking - Affordable prices - Easy to find - Niche selections of books
