Stop by the retail shop and speak with the staff to find beautiful gift ideas and new arrivals. The owner, Dan Whitmore, has a passion for rare books and constantly travels the country to find first edition rare manuscripts signed by the author and collectors editions of literature, philosophy, science, and history books. If you're an antique book collector and are traveling through Old Pasadena, Whitmore is not one to miss. The used bookstore's inventory is always changing and treasure hunters can discover some great finds as they search through the aisles of literary classics, collectibles, historic and vintage children's book, and vinyl records.
The Battery Books and Music is located on Los Robles Avenue, between Old Pasadena and the Playhouse District, making it a great location for bookworms in either area to get to. Shoppers will find stationery supplies, best sellers, and a variety of literary genres and gifts on the first floor, while the second floor houses children's books and enrichment activity kits, cards and more gifts, as well as an area where host guest authors go for signings and panels. The first floor includes its own cafe and is soon to get its own wine bar. Beloved by Pasadena locals, Vroman's is the oldest and largest independent bookstore in Southern California. Vroman's Bookstore is a massive, two-story, book lovers haven. You may just see your own book on the shelves one day! Many bookshops also have author-signed, first edition copies of undiscovered and underrated novels, comics and memoirs.
You'll find everything from leather-bound literary classics, to Gutenberg and Einstein originals. Get lost in the shelves of Pasadena's independent bookstores.
