Is The Last Bookstore worth it in a day?

Worth itIn a day

Even on a tight schedule, The Last Bookstore earns the hours.

Allow 30-60 minutes.

California's largest used-and-new bookstore turned into a genuinely photogenic labyrinth — vaulted bank ceilings, a tunnel of books, and arches sculpted from spines. It's free and charming for an hour, though it's now a known Instagram stop, so expect people queuing for the same photos in the upstairs labyrinth.
