The highlight of my trip to the Venice Boardwalk. A surprisingly deep collection of books for the space with lots of recommendations when you’re looking for something new.

Book stores are my happy places and there is no happier place for me than Small World Books in Venice Beach. From the gorgeous cat that roams the store quietly judging your reading choices to the knowledgeable staff and ridiculous amount of choice this is every literature lovers dream place! I always walk out of here with numerous books that I cannot put down! Set in such a beautiful location this is definitely a must visit place on your list of things to do in LA.

Such a marvelous collection of books, well displayed in quite a quirky way and at the end of the day the staff may even discuss the zombie apocalypse with you, but only if you catch them off guard.

Cute place, friendly, humble staff (none of that hipster snarkiness), a true neighborhood gem and Venice staple!

A very small cute store filled with lots of different books. Plus there’s a cat that strolls around which made my day and pretty nice wall art. However, it seemed like I was a little scolded for trying to take pictures of a few funny postcards I saw and wasn’t necessarily greeted when I walked in which was not a big deal I was just expecting more warmth. Will try to visit again

I came here after class, looking for possibly some used books. I didn’t realize they didn’t offer that option so I was kinda bummed out. It’s definitely a hidden gem in Venice, though. The notes or reviews left by the employees in the books is really nice and personal. I thought it was really cute, once I get done buying my college textbooks I’m going to come back here and treat myself to a book. No one really greeted me when I came in, but she was nice to me when I checked out so, I don’t know maybe she was busy I can understand. I just saw that apparently there’s a cat in the shop and I didn’t see him or her :(I love cats haha, I wish they sold used books but I still love it, you can take a break from the atmosphere at Venice boardwalk and enter a whole different world.

Great place to stop in on the boardwalk. There’s a restaurant attached but the bookstore has a separate entrance. When we came in, it was very hot inside of the book store. Didn’t feel like there was any AC.
Good selection of books, different kinds of books than you’d see in a big chain. I like how they had little reviews. There were some stools on the ground but they obviously don’t want people sitting in here and reading. Not my favorite bookstore I’ve ever been to but was fun to check it out.

I absolutely loved this place! Even though it is not a big outlet bookstore, the shop is not small and holds a wide variety of selection.
This is a great change of pace from the crowded beach outside. There are stools to sit and read for a while and they even have a beautiful bookstore cat that lays around and allows anyone to pet it. I believe the cashier mentioned it’s name was Connan/Konnan?
I greatly enjoyed finding this bookstore on my trip to Venice, I will definitely be returning.

Stopped here while strolling on the boardwalk. Great selection of books and a cat that strolls around and will climb in your lap if you take a seat. Very friendly cashier that made some thoughtful recommendations.

I have lived in Venice for the past year, and cycled past this book store almost daily, but the madness of the Boardwalk, and the tourist café that dominates the block (the slim entrance to the book store goes inside the café) didn’t give it much appeal. This evening, super keen to get hold of a copy of Colm Toibin’s new book (hardback only) I called ahead and was delighted they had copes (none of the huge corporate stores in Venice or SM had one) and even more delighted when I visited the store. An excellent selection of books from small and better known publishers, beautiful handwritten notes on a very broad selection of the books, a gorgeous children’s collection, helpful assistant and suddenly the landscape of the boardwalk is altered for me. I look forward to visiting again (by bike, parking wouldn’t be pleasant…)

I fell in love with this bookstore and I’m sad that I don’t live in LA otherwise I would be here everyday. It was my first time in Venice and I’m so happy I found this gem.
This bookstore is the kind of place you can get lost in for hours. Though it is not a very large venue it is filed to the brim with books. As I walked through the shelves I definitely felt as though the selection was curated well by someone before me. Books are well sectioned and you can find small sweet handwritten notes describing certain selections.
The most memorable part of the store was the black and white cat and a small cardboard box that read «Blind Dates» or something to that extent. The books there are priced for only a couple of dollars but are wrapped in parchment paper so each is a surprise.
Loved it. The prices are nothing special, Barnes and Noble prices but you come here for the atmosphere and curated goods.

Somewhat at the center of the Venice Beach Boardwalk, it holds a lot of character. There’s a sensational in-house cat that sashays in and out as it pleases. The books are full-priced but with a great selection, something for everybody of all ages and preferences. It’s nice here.

I WILL BE BACK!
I love this small hole in the wall bookstore! ps, spend more than $ 20 and get 10% off the café! Anyway, they have a bunch of great books and what I love most about it is that owners (I’m guessing) put a little note in some books describing either what its about, how they felt when they read it, or a short synopsis on it. It makes the staff seem more trustworthy and knowledgeable about the books knowing that they read most of the books they sell. Its a great place to pick up a book, walk to the beach and enjoy a great read!

My friends and I decided to stop by on a whim. You know, the usual, I don’t need anything new but «here, take my money» type of moments.
We found a few gold mines amongst their «quality over quantity selection» and ended up grabbing two books. As for the service, we apparently interrupted the sales person’s lunch and had to wait a a bit while she stared at us. Can you say awkward? This was a completely adorable shop but help was scarce and a bit rude.
I was going to come back and get a few books, but the last few minutes of my visit made me rather save my gas money and just go to a local bookstore to get the books I wanted.

Today, I came back for the first time since my last review. I bought Seven Pillars of Wisdom, Lost in Uttar Pradesh by Evan S. Connell, I Gave You All I Had by Zoe Valdes, The Mountain of Light by Indu Sundaresan and Flapper: Six Women of a Dangerous Generation by Judith Mackrell. (I picked up the last copy of Flapper. She said a new shipment would arrive later this week.) I’m so excited about my new books! Wish you prosperity in finding what you want.

Since I love bookstores and cafés, the fact that this one is right along the beach makes it perfect! Browse for a good book, drink some coffee and hang out! Loved the personal notes the staff wrote above certain books, giving recommendations a more personal touch. Also check out the used and bargain books section… If I lived in LA, I would definitely be a regular!

I was looking to buy a guidebook last minute for a trip and decided to go here rather than usual corporate bookmart in MDR. If not for the motorcycle, parking would have been an absolute nightmare so keep this in mind if you hope to drive on over.
Small World books is a nice little mom-pop book store nestled in between touristy tshirt shops, tattoo parlors, and medical marijuana clinics. If you are at Venice Beach and need something different to do or just get bored from walking around you can come here. It is a quiet oasis in the midst of tourist & grunge mayhem. As a bonus you can get 10% off on the not-so-special looking burger/bar joint next store with a $ 10 book purchase.

Find your way into the book store when wandering along the boardwalk. Take a break from the crazy, and get into some pages. I LOVE a good book store — and this is certainly one that makes me happy.
Good selection.
