When I first started getting familiar with Pasadena, friends told me that this was a great place to find books that were rare, varied, and really cool. They were right about all three. Vroman's isn't big on discounts or sales, but they are big on stocking great titles and plenty of underexposed writers. I've never seen such a large poetry section in a bookstore. Go there sometime with no expectations in your mind and leave with a great book under your arm
Pros: Good selection, Large newsstand, Helpful staff
Cons: Not many discounts
