Pages: A Bookstore

LA's indie lit scene is alive and sunsoaked in Manhattan Beach, thanks to this charmer of a full-service book shop. Pop by for one of the store's frequent author events and signings in between browsing its smorgasbord of both mainstream and locally published fiction, nonfiction and children's titles. The boutique's smiley-faced and well-read staffers are happy to help you find, order or gift wrap your volume of choice. Even if your "to read" list is long enough already, the shop's turquoise walls and full, vibrant shelves are enough to invite you in for a quick spin.
