The Last Bookstore

Housed in the Spring Arts Tower in Downtown L.A. and boasting 22,000 square feet of space, this haven of books is one of the last bastions of the written word on real paper. While the name of the store might be somewhat hyperbolic, it is a sign of the takeover by digital media. With modern art, book sculptures, and a multi-level interior space supported by Doric columns, this is a bookstore that you must plan spending at least a couple of hours in.
