Angel City Books & Records is a Bookstore and Vinyl Record Store dedicated to the promotion of literature, music & art. Our goal is to create an environment that encourages a classical education. We are more than a bookstore, we are a philosophy. We believe that selling literature is not like selling hardware and that the current trend of superstore is an inappropriate method for the handling of literature precisely because there is no distinction between the great and the mundane.
Thank you for your business & happy reading!!!
