The Last Bookstore
The Last Bookstore is California's largest new and used book and record store, and one of the largest independent bookstores left anywhere. Voted "the most photographed bookstore in the world." We started small in 2005, tucked into a downtown Los Angeles loft. Founder Josh Spencer, after years of selling everything from clothes to cars online, turned his full attention to what he loved most: books and records.
Donate Books / Vinyl
If you don't need to sell, donating is the best way to keep bookstores alive. Every donation keeps our shelves full, our lights on, and our community strong. What we can’t use, we re-purpose.
Sell Books / Vinyl
We're buying quality books, vinyl, CDs, and DVDs — but right now it's by appointment only. If you've got great stuff, we want to hear about it.
IMPORTANT INFO
I We love big hauls - but we’re picky. II We buy based on condition, rarity, and how fast we think it'll find a new home. III Smoke-free books only, please. IV Bring your ID if you want cash. V First come, first served (once Buy Counter reopens). VI Cash = 20–50% of resale value. Trade = 50% more.
