Editorial Review for Valencia Street Books – by Andrea Arria-Devoe
In Short
An upright piano and brown leather chairs up front welcome bookworms to leisurely browse the stacks. The idiosyncratic selection of new and used books includes classic titles as well as under-the-radar picks like "The Secrets of the Gay Marine Porn Stars" and Super Heroes and Philosophy." Customers can also peruse the extensive psychology section and pick up local indie magazines such as "Other" and "Morbid Curiosity."
Editorial content is independent of paid advertisers. Any expenses are paid for by Citysearch.
