Awesome, quiet little bookstore with an amazing selection of new and used books at great prices. Definitely the place to come if you're trying to educate yourself and your little ones (they have books for children as well) especially in this current political climate.
I love Page, come here every month for the Long Beach Anarchist Book Club on the first Wednesday of the month and I stop by for the book and usually pick up another fiction or poetry book while I'm at it. They have a pretty varied selection that I cludes comics, queer books, film, philosophy and other sim things. The owner Chris is great and friendly and is always excited to learn about new books and order stuff for you.
Owner is amazing and knows his stuff. Great used collection and curated new selection. Store’s in a great area. Went last year and we bonded over Myriam Gurba fandom.
Lovely, small bookstore I was able to visit during my day trip to Long Beach! I loved the used book section and all the postcards and old magazines!
A small bookstore that focuses on leftist/anti-capitalist/anti-racist non-fiction, with a shelf or two of relevant fiction/classics. The owner was absolutely a delight to speak with and gave my friend and I solid recommendations for the type of books we wanted to read. Would definitely visit again if I'm in the area!
