5.0 of 5 stars. My favorite bookstore in LA. Incredible selection, and a great patio area to relax in. Avoid the iced coffee at their coffee shop, but aside from that, this is a perfect bookstore.

5.0 of 5 stars. Well, it's official. They're going out of business on April 30, 2008. :-( This and Midnight Special were my favorite bookstores when I lived in LA. Now there are two fewer reasons to move back.

Love it!

I love Dutton's Bookstore because it looks like a bookstore. It is not corporate or stylized looking. It is quaint. There are books in stacks on the floor and it may sound haphazard but it isn't. Everything is...
