NUMBER THREE: SKYLIGHT

Maybe it’s the tree in the center of the bookshop that really does it for me. Or the fun nay, funky (in a purely positive light) staff? The assortment of books and magazines that ranges from wild to classic? Things that you don’t find just anywhere and are just so artsy I haven’t heard of most?

Whatever it is, Skylight’s got it all. Situated in the adorable, quirky Los Feliz neighborhood, the appropriately named bookstore absolutely love the lighting! brings together an interesting and stimulating combination to provide one of the most ideal settings for springtime skimming.

The sunshine streaming through the high ceiling glass, the warm wooden shelves low to provide an open feeling and one of the vastest reading collections in Los Angeles. I sincerely appreciate the clear signage of this extensive almost warehouse-like locale. It’s a friendly, comfortable setting both inside and out.

That said, Skylight’s got the goods too. Care for an autographed copy or some alternative fiction? Mystery or gender studies? Like the neighborhood that surrounds it, this bookstore exudes an open, laissez faire attitude with a helpful but never pushy staff and an atmosphere and book stock fit for a lifetime of whole afternoons.

Later in the day, Skylight also frequently features author readings and book events.

Open for over ten years now, Skylight may be a young member of the Los Angeles book community, but she’s here to stay.

Skylight Books is open daily from 10 AM to 10 PM.

1818 North Vermont Ave., Los Feliz 90027, 323-660-1175
