Reviews of Skylight Books

Kelly Chung

Cute bookstore. We stumbled in on a rainy day exploring Los Feliz. There was a book reading and had a celebrity siting!

Maria Dunton

Ordered online and had very easy experience. Communication from bookstore regarding order status was excellent and book arrived sooner than expected. Thank you for making my holiday shopping so simple. Now I just need to visit in person!

Ted Gideonse

One of the two or three best bookstores in Los Angeles, it's got an amazingly well curated collection of books, fantastic recommendations form staff, and an art book annex that is truly inspiring. Also, their membership club provides amazing discounts.

Mint Katavetin

Cozy bookstore vibes with a vibe variety of books and nice staff :)

Everlasting Love

Loved how they organized the store and how they have unusual books/categories. Also like how they had cool suggestions of books. The store has a nice atmosphere.

Memory Collector

Probably the only bookstore where I never left with empty hands. A few left place to find independent magazines around the world. Hope you survive. I will do my best.

Ross Blocher

Skylight Books is a relatively small shop, but the use of space is smart, intentional and well-designed. Each time I come in, I am delighted to find new books I’d love to read, as well as some of my top picks in each category. The staff is dedicated and helpful, and also do a great job of highlighting local authors and bringing them in for talks and signings (as seen in this recent conversation with Mallory O’Meara for her book “Girly Drinks”).

Carlo N.

Skylight Books is a bookstore along Vermont ave and Franklin ave. The store is small however they have great book selection on their shelves; they're arranged according to category. The best part is the tree at the center of the bookstore, where you can seat and 📖read. Prices are💰 fair. Staff are friendly and professional. Overall, it is a good bookstore to buy a book and/or hangout or read.

Julianne Zuccardi

My favorite bookstore to peruse.and patron. Also love their next-door comic book, zinr, and magazine store. With so many comic book places going the way of the do-do I'm glad this one is still kicking.

Jonah Morris

One of my favorite bookstores in LA. Definitely has the kitschy gift / trinket section most bookstores today have but looking past that, their selection and staff recommendations are excellent.

R K

Great selection and friendly staff. Also extremely well organized.

Wayne Edwards

A very cool bookstore in Los Feliz that I never heard of before. Not too big and not too small. Lots of character. Just right for special events like the reading I went to.

Nicco Molina

Very cozy bookstore. Friendly staff and a huge variety of books. Felt very welcoming towards LGBT peeps

Rob Devlin

MEGA AMAZING book and mags store - definitely the best one I found in LA with a massive selection of all of your favourite titles. The surrounding area in Los Feliz is jam packed with cool coffee shops/bars/restaurants/cinemas and general vibes. Barnsdall Art Park is a short stroll and the ideal place to migrate too with a huge wad of mags to sit read and enjoy the mind blowing views of the city!

John Puppo

Been buying books here for 10 years. I've been recommended more life changing objects here than I can even remember. Best bookstore in LA

Jake La Fronz

awesome bookstore with great selection, great events, and great staff!

Fatima Lemus

Placed my order online 4 days before Christmas and didn't expect it to be ready for pick up before the 25th. It was a nice surprise to have it ready fast especially because they were out of stock on a couple of books. They have a great pick up system and didn't wait very long. I love shopping small and contributing to local community!

Georgios Boudalis

Good selection of books and friendly people.

Annant Gaur

This is one of the finest bookstores in LA period. I got Angry Youth Comix by Johnny Ryan on sale.. where its OG price was 50$, they had it for 20$. This I got from Skylight Book, then they have Skylight Books Arts Annex which is what wet dreams for Comic Books/Graphic Novel lovers are made up of. I was planning on buying only one for the day however their collection was soo good that I ended up purchasing two more with a super cool Skylight Books Tote Bag. Ram is a very warm hearted and super enthusiastic as well as a polite person to help you with looking for what you want. He suggested some solid picks for me to get for my comic book collection and I did bought them. If you're looking for a place where you would be looking for what you always wanted to buy for yourself, this is that spot. Get it for yourself or your loved ones or your friends to gift em. You won't be disappointed.

Kasey Furutani

Cute store with a great selection of new releases + some books from indie publishers

Danielle Firestone

So well curated. This store alone makes me want to move to the neighborhood!

John Carter

Great for people who love to read. It's a cool place even if you're not super into reading too. Love the decorations and the vibe. They have a lot of small artisan shops inside to explore as well. You can purchase many different items ranging from paintings to metal art

Lauren Ferns

I recently moved to the Midwest and needed to buy my friends in LA a wedding gift. I always try to avoid Amazon, so I searched for an LA independent book store that I could order online from. Skylight’s website was easy to work with. Even better was that I was personally emailed by a real person who thanked me for the order, and offered to gift wrap the books as a complimentary service. That alone is worth paying full price for books plus shipping. I’m happy knowing my money went to a place that fosters community and human connection.

Janet Kim

This is a fantastic independent bookstore with a great selection of everything from magazines to children's books to coffee table books. The store hosts many events and is a wonderful place to browse and buy gifts. I've been shopping here for over a decade, and it is definitely one of the best stores in the area.

Travis Erwin

Small but well stocked indie bookstore.

Maeda Humbert

Excellent book shop. So hard to find these days. Wonderful service " with a smile". Amazing children's book selection. We grew up shopping at Maple Street Books in New Orleans. This is huge by comparison but the wonderful eclectic vibe is alive and well.

Jola Cora

Absolutely love this place, I found books here I didn't know existed and that are very relevant to my work in progress. Very grateful.

Dave G

Great local bookstore used to be semi regular at their events pre pandemic. Needed some books as xmas presents ordered on-line and picked up 2 days later. Support local businesses. 12/21 There is road work happening nearby. Be prepared for an extra 10-15 minutes to park and get to the store

Won Kim

Good neighborhood bookstore. Love the sections on culture and social issues, and the karge selection of indie graphic novels. My only issue is that I wish the selection of Buddhist books was a bit wider, and included books representing the South Asian traditions (East Asian and Tibetan traditions were well represented).

Colin Fields

Just first impressions, but seemed like a bookstore for reading enthusiasts rather than a place to post on instagram. Had a great discussion with one of the workers there who was all too happy to spend 30 minutes with me to give his best/favorite recommendations for the genre fiction I was looking for. I will definitely be coming back here

Maria Southard

Take a look inside! A lovely place to find reading material and to pass the time. Clean and aesthetically pleasingly arranged excellently arranged myriad of books, including for children. Reading accessories, calendars and knickknacks. Lovely large tree in the middle adding to the restful, yet intellectual vibes.

Scott Little

Agnes helped pull some book ideas/recommendations for a gift for my mom, and she blew me away with terrific suggestions. Her love of books and depth of knowledge of authors is incredible. Skylight is lucky to have her! Love this bookstore!

Naomi Klaus

Favorite bookstore in LA. Awesome collection of the most up to date political science, theory, art, culture and fiction books. I could get lost in this place for hours. Super cool, friendly, eccentric staff.

Mark Masek

Tremendous local bookstore. Great, intellingent, informed employees who made great suggestions, plus an assortment of books you won't find anywhere else.

Brooke Powell

Awesome resource, great selection! Note: there are two different skylight books very close to each other...one is small and mostly magazines and art books. The other one has more stuff. Hope I come back and spend a bunch of money here soon.

Lily Lei

Awesome local bookstore in Los Feliz!! They have a good selection of books. The staff is super kind and helpful. They also do. a really good job of limiting capacity during covid.

California 73

I was here for a Q & A with a writer that covers zombie apocalypse and outbreak narratives; it was a quaint bookstore that gave the event an intimate cozy charm. The book store clerks were friendly and the neighborhood was safe with lots of little restaurants and shops to keep you busy on a weekend!

Rahul Mitra

Great service at a fair price. Exactly the kind of brick-and-mortar book store that should be supported. You can buy from Amazon (and I do that as well) but when a store is as well run as this they provide you with wonderful new discoveries and great recommendations

Kyle Hunsberger

Great little bookstore on Vermont. Staff was very friendly and had a small but unique selection of books. Will definitely come back again particularly next time I'm in it's very walkable neighborhood.

Scott Noon Creley

One of the best book stores in California. This place and the associated art book store have an amazing selection. The poetry section is extensive and features a huge range of work, which is a rarity in many bookstores.

Amelia Welles

Great bookstore with staff recommendations, both shelves of recommendations as well as cards around the store.

Michael Lehrman

One of my favorite spots in the neighborhood. Good selection across many genres. They hold author events often, and the staff is friendly. Sometimes I’ll spot a friendly cat that seems to live there as well.

Nadia Aganova

Best little bookstore around. Great selection of books, awesome location and vibe. And a cute, welcoming cat!

Richard Checkman

Skylight Books is one of the greatest bookstores ever... and as the greater L.A. area loses some other all time favorite bookstores that reality makes Skylight Books even more valuable. Even though I'm a native Angeleno who's lived here for 56 years I'm incredible passionate about everything L.A. Things such as it's history, cultures, entertainment industry, myths, legends, etc are things about that I'll never tire learning about. Skylight Books has always had a great selection about L.A./ So Cal and they stock both newer and older books. The store itself is pleasantly setup and a fun journey to browse through. It's one of those places that has books of such variety that even when you arent looking for anything particular you'll find something that you didnt realize you need to read tonight. Please come out and support this wonderful business. It's a true gem not only of Silver Lake but of Los Angeles.

James Vaiana

Great shop. Helpful and friendly staff, wide variety of books in stock. Highly recommend.

David Schmidt

This is the only place I'd risk going over the allotted time on my parking meter ticket and getting a fine. I even factor in the potential parking fine into my budget while at the store. True story. A bookstore's used book section tells you everything you need to know about the character of the city. And you'll never find anything close to the selection here.

Holly Slocum

A fun, quirky bookstore! We heard Wallace Shawn read from his book, “Night Thoughts”. There was a full crowd and Mr Shawn was hilarious and thoughtful at the same time. Naturally, we purchased several books (his and others) from their varied selection. Fun neighborhood to walk in and close by restaurants looked great. We’ll be back!

Phil Scoville

This is a gem of a bookstore. Was nice to visit it during my visit to Hollywood.

Bijun Liang

i particularly like the art book side of this bookstore. has a good collection of material for photography, graphic design, architecture, etc. there are some smaller zines by local artists. very fun to browse through all around

Gregory Denton

Great variety, lots of LA-centric titles and a good poetry section. Cute gifts and the arts annex next door is a destination for comics, zines and art books.

Natalie Estrada

I like it because it's a small book store, but in the downside, they're very limited. Their books are much more expensive than Barnes and Noble. If you like little book stores then this is it, but it's a little bit more expensive.

Michael Allen

This place was super friendly, clean and well organized. Went there for a book signing, and it was very pleasant.

Lorena Salazar Zermeño

I have been visiting this bookstore since I was in undergrad. It is nice to know that some things don't change, and withstand the test of time. The staff is friendly, and helpful. My favorite place in LA for bound paper books.

Michael Andreen

My vote for best bookshop in LA. Of course I found the new book my British wife wanted about football. It in no way caters to the balkanisation of reading by limiting itself to a particular attitude or community. That said, it is a community hub for Los Feliz and greater Los Angeles, but it does so by somehow representing the range of what's being written and thought, in a rather confined space. Graphic novel and fine art annex next door also merits this high mark.

Mina Delgado

Very small..tight..not good for scooter or wheelchair. My last visit was 6 mos ago..may be changes. Book selection is specialty books mostly urban, hipster, LGBT friendly, astrology and culinary and travel fare. Journal and letter writing materials. Comparable prices..slightly higher. In and out in 30.

Laura Hauther

The best bookstore in L.A., hands down. The bookstore staff are readers and writers, they really know their stuff. The also have a "Friends with Benefits" club for discounts on current books and recently added a First Editions Book club. If you live in LA and love books, Skylight is the place for you.

Christopher Rountree

I’m a member at Skylight. One of my favorite places in LA. Before birthdays and holidays I’m always here. The level of guilt I’ve got about missing all (almost all at least) of their incredible series of readings and book openings. Their poetry and local poet section is wonderful. And at XMAS they wrap my presents for me — and I’m terrible at wrapping, so, wow, yeah that’s helpful. Also did I mention obscure books on cacti.

Jordan Angulo

Great local book shop, their art annex is also good to check out. Lots of stuff to browse and staff picks seem to be very on top of current events and culture. Attend an author talk or event here when you can

Daniel Garcia

Because periodicals, magazines, information curated for you and your passions via print is rare and needs distribution. Here we are all equal, whatever drives you, makes you special, they will connect you with others who wrote about it, shot photos of it and will keep you from feeling alone at night. When you are alone at night.

Erica Camisa Morale

This is a great bookstore with a great selection of books in any category! You can also sit and read books on-site) They also host cultural events, such as public readings, so they certainly are an important energy in the area!

Richard Ward

It's kind of a bookworm's dream. It reminded me of a slightly messy, very cramped library. That's how it smells - like a library. There are old books, new books, and everything in between and you can get it all for much cheaper than Skylight Books. I had a $30 gift card, which at Skylight Books would be two paperbacks, but here I had a hard time coming up with enough stuff to cover it! I've always loved used book stores, but this was kind of ridiculous. Everything I wanted was $3 - $6, so even with the $5.50 to take the subway down to Union Square and back up to Columbia, the prices were still considerably cheaper than Skylight Books or even my beloved Book Culture. I love this store, but I just wish it wasn't so crowded all the time!

Paul L. Munoz

Every time I visit the place, I mostly get a cold reception unlike having one at a Dwell in Design event a few years ago in the LA Convention Center. Anyway, the annex has some great coffee-table books & graphic novels & the main store carrying a few mainstream & some radical & underground materials, but the business pales in comparison to the recognized quality-brand establishments such as Barnes & Noble as well as Taschen, Assouline & Amazon Books (recently set up in Century City).

Jamie Lai

Truly one of the best organized book readings I've been to. They have a lovely tree in the middle of the store that is magical. Lovely staff.

Tom Shahriari

Meh. Decent book store. Very popular with locals, my daughter included, but I wasn't all that impressed. Cramped, but not quaint. Not very well laid out. Mediocre selection. High prices. Pathetic seating. Still any place you can browse books gets at least 3 stara

Fábio M. Barreto

Skylight offers the perfect experience when it comes to local bookshops. Staff is always knowledgable, offers are interesting even with a price higher than Amazon (after all, physical shops will always have that handicap). I particularly love the Staff Picks and have followed their advice several times. Never regret. The Art/Geek annex is equally great. Skylight is a great fit for Los Feliz's population of entertainment people. There are many Author Events on the main space and you can find offers for the Indie Bookshop Day once a year, but queue up early if you want to make sure you get what you want. Kids section is bigger than the Sci-Fi, for example, so you can find enough great books for the little ones. If you are visiting, make sure to stop by! Anyway, great space.

Ben Bergstein

This is one of my favorite independent bookstores on the planet. No book I acquired here have I regretted reading.

Peter McDonald

One of the last great neighborhood book stores in this metropolis. Well organised, lots of intelligent staff, great kids section, you might have to explain to the young 'uns what a "book" is? Special author readings and signings! Check the web-site. Don't miss the arts and zines annex, a couple of doors down.

Karina

Great selection of books and the person who helped me find an author knew right away where her books were located. Really helpful, knowledgeable and friendly worker.

Zack Toth

Mostly enjoyable experience, coming to this shop, there are a couple store fronts within a few feet from each other, The staff there were helpful in finding me a book I was looking for, quickly. Will surely return, prices are retail and mostly expensive, however, I haven't shopped at both store fronts, yet.

Shagane Barsegian Launey

Worth visiting, driving and hanging out at as a couple or family. Enjoyed the variety of books and atmosphere. Wish there was just more space in the kids section so you can read with kids and kids had sit down space to look through books.

tori holder

Awesome bookstore and local culture supporter. Be sure to check out their arts annex next door and go to some of their readings and events. Great selection of small press, independently published, zines, and local books too!

Joshua Williams

In a time that independent neighborhood book stores seem to be going extinct, Skylight Books is a breath of fresh air, or rather, a breath of that earthy/woody-scented air exclusive to book shops. Skylight touts an extensive variety of titles between its two sides (the main store and the art annex nextdoor), but if you still can't find what you're looking for, they have your back. In my experience, they have ordered any book that I haven't been able to find and simply give me a call when the order comes in. They also have an excellent selection of good-quality stationery, journals, cards, and of course those tchotchkes one can only find in a bookstore (ie. feminist tote bags, origami houseplants, etc.). Skylight also offers community events, talks, and book discussions which really give it that neighborhood community feel. I can't give Skylight enough props, so give them yours too please!

Cai W (he/they)

Came here for Lisa Hanawalt's book signing ! Such a cool little store, with an awesome skylight to live up to its name! Bought some other graphic novels there, they have a nice selection.

Ramgopal Sastry

Awesome collection of the most up to date political science, theory, art, culture and fiction books. I could get lost in this place for hours. Super cool, friendly, eccentric staff.

Daniel Gregson

Super cool selection! Very nice curated collection of rare and eclectic volumes. Come check it out and find your favorite bookworm a great gift book!

Sarah Hamm

I've bought a lot of books from here, every single part of 50 shades of gray, The hobbit. They also have all the classics. If you are searching for something, this is the place, they have a great selection of books.

R.A. Grimes

A very old school book store. Interesting variety of books. A lot of independent titles you won't find in a chain bookstore.

sulochna devi

It is an awesome place to explore.Lovely, small bookstore. Good selection, well organized, with staff happy to help you find what you need.

Diego Enrique Cardenas Urquiza

Great variety and affordable prices. Excellent comic book selection.Take into account that these days they are not taking cash.

Todra Payne

Wonderful, small, indie book store with author readings, great book selection, small gifts. I love the decor, as well. There's a live tree growing under a skylight!

Bill Maldonado

This place rocks. I came here today looking for a b-day gift for someone special and found the perfect book! It was between Mario Testino's photography book with half naked women in there, OR the red Stanley Kubrick archives. Guess which one I chose? Kubrick of course! This was a rare book so I had to jump at the chance. Too bad this was the last copy and they didn't have an sealed copy. But, the guy was cool and gave me a 10% discount. He also gift wrapped it for free! Cool lil gem in Los Feliz. Check them out!

Amber Stiles

Good selection of books and gifts, interesting readings, and friendly staff! I usually come here once a month to pick myself up a treat.

Julyluvvv

Very welcoming & friendly staff🤍 …

Handbag Designer

One of the last few beautiful bookstores in Los Angeles

Frederick Miller

Great classic bookstore. Good place to get signed first editions.

Juliana

This place has books ive never seen anywhere else, and I am so glad this exists. We need more book shops like this. The book shop America needs.

Austin

I like the books here. They have events too, where they bring the people who write books to talk. I go to those sometimes too. I like reading because I like the books that I buy. Some say, I like this book store. And, I agree.

vishu reddy

The team puts real effort in their descriptions of the books they've suggested. Nice selection of magazines as well, especially if you love the ones from independent print houses.

Lyman Johnson

Great independent bookstore, with lots of personality and charm

Robert Bowen

One of my favorite bookstores anywhere. Heavy on the hippy-dippy LA titles as you might expect but a good selection of quality fiction as well.

William Williams

We were at Skylight Books for Steph Cha's reading & book signing event for Follow Her Home tonight. This was our first time here although not the area. We've been up & down this street back in the day...breakfast at Fred's 62 & lounging at the Dresden Room. The Skylight is a cute independent book store that houses quirky books that you may not find elsewhere. We'll be back when the aisles are free of Steph Cha supporters. I had Steph sign my copy of Follow Her Home, met Matt B. & her Basset Hound. I felt like I already knew her thru her reviews & book (although fiction), I knew her main character in her book was part her. Congrats Steph!

Kim Huston

I love this place! Small biz bookstore with author in-stores and along a really nice strip of the East side. Lots of coffee shops and co-op stores.

Scott Pactor

Who doesn't love this great independent book store! The selection is immaculately curated and they host many events. Don't miss their selection of books about LA.

Jason Huff

The best independent bookstore in LA. Please stop by and support them. Also, books are excellent. Help keep them and Skylight going.

Elizabeth Washington

First off, it has everything you want. Plenty of browsing spots and seats, plus an army of dedicated salespeople to help you find what you seek. They've also got everything logged on an internal computer so if you can't find it manually, go digital!

Heather Bleemers

One of the best bookstores in LA. They have a wonderful children’s section as well.

Sam Orndorff

Great place to get books. Every section is stocked with premium books. You can tell they put a lot of care into their inventory.

Sarah Wilson

Great bookstore, could easily have spent hours there. Huge range of books, interesting staff reviews.

Mike

One of the best LA neighborhood independent bookstores, do you try to buy from them before Amazon!

sarvan3000

Excellent and informed selection of books covering current politics, sociology and other timely topics, and fiction, too. One of LA's best bookstores, if not the best.

Colleen Bynum

Great place to find unusual books. Nice to be in a bookstore that's not Barnes and Noble.

Sean Broadbent

Sign up for the email newsletter for staff recommended reads and special events! Great selection of classics and new books from small publishers.
