From the bottoms of our hearts to the tops of our souls, thank you for your purchases, your visits, your support, your eyeballs, your shares, your kindness, and your enthusiasm. We are here to bring you delight and we thank you for your eager embrace. Thank you, too, for supporting the newly re-invigorated movement to “shop small” for all that you buy and to thereby support the communities that you love. Now more than ever, this thoughtfulness has meant the world to all of us small business owners. Thank you. (image from Our True Intent Is All For Your Delight: The John Hinde Butlin's Photographs)
It’s Independent Bookstore Day and we want to salute our colleagues and customers. You inspire us in this zany, anachronistic, less-than-lucrative business -- one made even more tumultuous in 2020. Your faith in value of printed matter is beautiful and your commitment to supporting spaces devoted to keeping ideas, art, community, and beauty alive through these miraculous objects is heroic. Thanks for being our allies and fighting the good fight along with us. Today, tomorrow and every day, we hope you will celebrate LA’s rich book culture by buying from our esteemed colleagues who prove true the #gothambookmart adage that “wise men fish here.” Here’s to you: @aliasbookseast, @artbookhwla, @bblitarts, @booksoup, @chevaliersbooks, @counterpointrecordsandbooks, @dieselbookstore, @esowonbooks, @familybooks, @hennesseyingalls, @iliadbookshop, @lalibreria, @larryedmunds1938, @lastbookstorela, @librosschmibros, @malikbooks, @nowservingla, @reparations.club, @skylightbooks, @storiesbooksandcafe, @theundergroundbookstore, @vromansbookstore, the FORTHCOMING @thesalteaters @villagewellcc and so many more. Look around - books are everywhere!
Dear Friends,
We are closed for in-store shopping. But we are here - working behind closed doors - ready to help you!
Pick-up, delivery, and shipping are all available and welcomed! We are here if you need something though we are required to limit visitation for the safety of our staff and to comply with local ordinances.
You can order from amongst the listings on this site (our recent Books of the Days are here), give us a ring or send us a message and we will be happy to satisfy your bibliographic cravings. You can also buy a gift certificate!
Our website has only a few thousand listings and is by no means representative of the entirety of our stock - so let us know what you're looking for and we will check our shelves: 310-458-1499 / books@arcanabooks.com.
PLEASE BE SAFE & WELL!

Your pals at Arcana.
