"Vroman's Bookstore, Pasadena. It's hard to find a bookstore these days- let alone a good one. Vroman's is a good one. Before you even walk through the door, you are faced with magazine wall stretching out and wrapping around walls to your left and right. Newspapers, independent magazines and the standards- its all here. Inside, two floors of books are waiting for you. People stand, perusing pages in every aisle. On every shelf is a thoughtful suggestion from a Vroman's staffer. There is even a Pasadena section if you are interested in learning more about the area."
