I've always loved Portrait of a Bookstore in the back of Aroma Cafe on Tujunga Avenue in Studio City. The fewer bookstores we have (and with the end of Borders, it's far fewer), those that remain become all the more important.

As small as it may seem, and it is small, you can always find more than a few things you want to put in your reading stack.

A question about Aroma led me to Portrait of a Bookstore, and then to the store's excellent blog, titled The Other Day at Portrait ... and filled with musings about reading itself and lots of recommendations for readers of all ages.

This fine store and blog are going right into the links listing on the right.
