Lido Village Books

TK

I came back to take away 4 stars. What happened is abominable, it's as if the owner doesn't even care. But they do care about their agenda. Once, this was quaint, as Lido was once quaint. Now, it's all biased books that point in one direction only - a Leftist view of life. Lido is now about social media and looking pretty while you eat your sprouts. What I found was a small selection of books written mostly by those who believe we are not all equal, those who want to hold down and suppress by means of telling us we've been suppressed. Which is a lie. As we now see, it was all a lie. The choices in subjects did not divert, everything was calculated, everything was sad. There were no graphic novels as there used to be, no authors for an easy beach read or cookbooks for the mom who loves to cook but needs it to be fast because her kids want to play in the sand. It was sad. The clerk was mildly paying attention and was likely writing her dissertation on the woes of females & minorities in her high end sneakers and denim jacket. This was once a wonderful store and sadly, it died.

A cute bookstore with small selections of each genre. The lady at the front desk was really sweet and provided a lot of information.

All of the staff here are extremely friendly and helpful, the location is perfect since it's right next to the beach, and the store has a very diverse and interesting selection. Best independent bookshop I've been to! 11/10 recommend!

I’m always in search for local bookshops in Orange County, and this dainty bookshop, located in lovely Lido Marina Village, is now one my favorite places to find new reads. Definitely coming back and recommending it to friends.
