Vroman's found a special book I've been hunting high and low for + ordered it on-the-spot...it was in my hands within days. All of the employees are genuinely friendly, too. Vroman's is also great for marathon browsing; when my parents come to town, they like to check out the travel section, the cutesy ""lifestyle"" stuff (soaps and stationary and all that) and coffee at the adjoining cafe. One of Pasadena's best, bar-none.
Pros: selection, nice worker bees
