Explore a slew of books, classic records, and art at The Last Bookstore, Southern California’s most iconic and largest independent bookstore.

Originally a 1914 bank building, the space houses several large vaults outfitted with shelves of used and new books. “Now we turn books into gold,” joked owner Josh Spencer, who initially launched his store in a downtown loft back in 2005.

If you’re looking for good, cheap reads, be sure to make a trip upstairs. You’ll find books — nearly 100,000 — listed at just one dollar.
