It's only been two years since LOST BOOKS opened their flourishing location right in the heart of the Montrose Shopping Park . Drawing locals and visitors from far and wide, it has become a book lovers destination. And no wonder. It's an offshoot of their famous Los Angeles emporium Last Bookstore. There is nothing else like it.

There is so much creativity inside that it literally spills out onto the sidewalk. The ever changing display beckons you to pause and open the door.

Entering is breathtaking. You walk through a tunnel of live plants and into a swirling path of thousands of curated used books.
