3.0 of 5 stars. I always walked by this store on my way to the UCB but never stopped in, until one day out of boredom decided to give it a gander. I doubt you will ever find exactly what you are looking for, however...

2.0 of 5 stars. Plenty of books to look through, and always some good tunes playing in store, but....Records are overpriced. What a buzzkill.

2.0 of 5 stars. Found an old racist book outside once for a buck. I always get the 'tude when in here. I like Harmony though. Go figure.

4.0 of 5 stars. Worth a visit if you're in the Hollywood/Los Feliz area, Counterpoint is primarily a book store but they have an ample selection of vinyl, priced around $5-$15, plus CD's. Small but specialized bins...

4.0 of 5 stars. This place smells... like old books... well, they have tons of those. I normally go to this place for their record selection. I guess I'm a nerd for still being that one person to have a victrola......

Yelp.com Review - by W K.

5.0 of 5 stars. I rate Counterpoint as a 5-star BOOKstore. The record selection is nothing compared with Amoeba, which is 5 minutes away. So don't even bother with that (although I have one or two 80s new wave...

Yelp.com Review - by Tayler J.

5.0 of 5 stars. A quiet, comforting bookstore with a moderately healthy selection and a separate shop for art books and first editions. I guess it doesn't hurt that I work there.

Yelp.com Review - by Douglas M.

2.0 of 5 stars. I have to counterbalance the reviews on Counterpoint by focusing in on the record selection here... It sucks. Everything gets looked up on ebay before it hits the floor and I have pretty much never...

Yelp.com Review - by Will E.

5.0 of 5 stars. In my humble opinion, this is the best used bookstore in LA...but, unfortunately, that is not saying much. For its status as a "cultural capital," Los Angeles is dearly lacking in the simple cultural...

4.0 of 5 stars. Counterpoint makes living in Beachwood Canyon even better. I enjoy their themed window display of albums which commemorate holidays or serve as memorial tributes. More than that, it's a good little...

I found it!

There's an out-of-print book that I read in college about 10 years ago, and loved, but I'd lost my copy. I'd looked for it every time I'd been in a used book store since then, with no luck. But I found it at...
