Local Hero Books

This book store is part of the shopping center known as the arcade in Ojai. There is nothing wrong per se with this establishment. There is just nothing that is great. First of all, it is tiny. When I walked in, I almost bumped into the counter where the two clerks were sitting and they didn’t even bother to greet my boyfriend and I. The selection of books is unique, but if you were looking for something particular, there is a good chance you wouldn’t find it here and would be better off going to the used book store. The only «gifts» i saw here were books. And I do agree that books make great gifts, I am just not sure that everyone agrees and am confused by the name. I didn’t make to back to the wine tasting room, since I was feeling a bit claustrophobic, but there is a wine bar down the street that offers flights including wine from the local wineries, and the room looks to be much more spacious.
