I’ve become a frequent visitor of this bookstore. I drive over an hour to visit Sideshow Books because I always find amazing gems. Whenever I recommend or visit this store with friends I left them know, “don’t worry about looking for a book, the book will find you.”

This place is Plato's concept of the used bookstore. It's floor to twelve foot ceiling bookshelves, crammed with books. It's piles of books on the floor. It has aisles so narrow that I couldn't pass, the better to fit more books. It's a place that will be complete when every cubic millimeter is filled with books. If you're looking for biographies of Hollywood actors or musicians, this place will be your dream. It also has a huge collection of books that were turned into movies. I strongly suspect they had been owned by people who worked on those movies. It matches the reading habits of Hollywood. There are bookcases filled with fiction books that would make great movies. But the selection of non-fiction (other than left-leaning politics) is small. It's worth a visit.

This place was spectacular. I love the vibe it's a great location to visit to check out books you didn't know existed. Amazon has nothing on this spot

My new favorite book store! And Tony is one of the coolest owners ever. So nice! Chats with everyone and helps you find what interests you. Also offered me expresso when I walked in. So many books to choose from so take your time! Street parking is fairly easy too especially on the weekends.
