I found a unique art bookstore in Echo Park

Des Pair bookstore in Victor Heights was a pleasant surprise. Although I didn't receive a warm welcome upon my arrival, and when asked about the store, the customer service gal didn't provide much information, I still enjoyed my visit. The owner curates most art and film books, so most of the inventory revolved around those topics. They also had a rotating selection of new arrivals from East Coast authors, as the owners of the bookstore lived in New York when they started up the shop. Their first store is in New York, so keep an eye out for it if you travel East this summer.
