Pop-Hop Books & Print

I was walking along York just a-​minding my own business when this shelf of $ 1 books starts staring me down. Next thing I know, I’m surrounded by favorite zines, local art, and used books lovingly selected from alternate dimensions. I bought the latest Slingshot Organizer, too much sci-​fi, and everyone’s Christmas presents 11 months in advance.

I’d give them a zero if I could. I went here today to buy the book for the book club. But, the man working the counter was extremely rude to me. I’ll never shop here again.

Great place that is supporting the indie art movement in LA. If you got time check out the zine section.

I like this place. It is very pleasing. It is small, but charming. It has an interesting array of books (and zines, too!). However, it is random and you may not find anything that you like. But I still recommend stopping and looking around for a few minutes.

My wife and I love little local bookstores, and Pop-​Hop didn’t disappoint. Decent selection, and love the little children’s nook area for the little ones to enjoy (I have a toddler). Doesn’t hurt that it is on the cool stretch on york in Highland Park. Looks like they are building a children’s park across the street as well on york and 50^th.

This place has an amazing collection of unique books. Including some great vintage pieces.
I personally love their children’s section! Some really lovely finds for a great price!
I collect I Spy books because they are genius and beautiful and I happened upon one here! It was in great condition! I snatched it up right away. The owner even said he’d keep his eye out for more! So awesome.
They also had a Where’s Waldo book that I grabbed as well.
Along with books they have a lot of lovely locally made things. Journal covers, cards, pins, bags etc. A lot of the stuff the owner screen prints right in store.
A fun place with something for everyone. I highly suggest checking it out if you’re in the area!

place is no good. $ 8 for a used paperback that costs new $ 12. Cashier is rude and kicked me out 2 minutes after closing time. Aisles are too narrow and you always feel like you are in someone’s way. Most used book stores are much better than this pretentious place.

I love seeing book stores open up close to me! I came here over the summer with my son and we sat in the small reading nook for kids. There were great books, toys to play with and plenty of things for me too. We had a great time and I love coming here. Wonderful open space!

Pop-​Hop Books and Print is a charming little rabbit hole. At first glance from the street one might think it’s a hipster tchotchke shop, which it is, but it’s more than that. They have many shelves of (mostly) artsy, classic, interesting books. Some of the books stray into art objet territory, which is cool. There is also a selection of hand made screen-​printed shirts and bags. And lots of small hipster knickknacks.
This shop is in a prime location, right next to the row of bike racks at the corner of York and Av 50. Worth popping in if you’re getting a cup of coffee at de Leche next door or investigating the new comic shop across the street.
So, selection of cool stuff: great. Prices: fine. Customer service… ok. The cashier did not interact with me at all except when I paid for my tchotchke. It’s a tiny place. I was the only one in there, and it felt a little like I was disturbing her peace and quiet when I went to check out. Pop-​Hop is a fairly new shop, I would have loved to learn a bit more about it while shopping!

I am a huge believer in this amazing little bookstore. The fact that I can walk to it is pretty dangerous – I don’t think I’ve ever left with fewer than ten books. Granted, books are like crack for me – I’m an unabashed bibliophile – but I challenge you to spend some time perusing and not begin to accumulate an impressive stack of your own. The selection here is really, really great. The owner does an excellent job of curating a collection made up of pure awesome; we’ve gotten everything from James Beard Award-​winning cookbooks to art books to poetry collections to vintage children’s books and everything in between. Paperbacks are very reasonably priced at about $ 8 on average, so you can definitely go wild. Pop-​Hop also does double-​duty as a screenprinting shop, so you can buy a cute tote to lug all of your new treasures home. I almost hate to spread the word about this place, because I am greedy like that, but I want Pop-​Hop to be a permanent fixture on York. Grab some lunch at the similarly-​excellent Highland Café next door first, and you’re looking at a seriously relaxing afternoon.

Hip bookstore right next door to Café De Leche. Being a soon to be dad I gravitated to their collection of kids books. Curious George goes to the dr, Peter Rabbit and corduroy. That scores major points in my book. Get it? Pun intended.
