Yelp.com Review - by Anthony N.

3.0 of 5 stars. I used to love Brentano's (my favorite bookstore chain) in Century City because (though not as big as other chain stores) it had a very good selection and often promoted lesser known works. When that...

4.0 of 5 stars. I'm usually a small boutique book store person and would not be inclined to review a chain unless something remarkable had been found. Behold, the Art and Graphic Arts section of this store is...

3.0 of 5 stars. I don't have anything too exciting to report, but the woman who helped me at the register was really nice and helpful. The person who directed me to the completely wrong section was not so nice. Umm,...

Yelp.com Review - by Nick I.

3.0 of 5 stars. This location is perfect in terms of how easy it is to get to on the Promenade, however, the staff are a different story. There is the one dude, whose name I won't mention, who is pretty laid back. He...

2.0 of 5 stars. The staff here is just awful. Of the three employees I've come into contact with, two were really rude. Those people should be in a cubicle somewhere doing data entry, not in customer service.However,...

Yelp.com Review - by David G.

4.0 of 5 stars. Don't you just love the smell of books? It doesn't even matter if it's a trendy chain store attached to a fellow trendy coffee shop or if it's a hole in the wall joint that stocks rare art books and...
