The Battery Books & Music

Very cute book store with a WIDE variety. The owner could tell you about any and everything book you could ever want or dream of. From Shakespeare to religion to comics to fantasy to biographies to comics, records, CDs and so much more. Stop in to find something new you never knew you wanted.

Love this place. Caution though, I will run to to get a book that I know Battery has a copy of it when I find the book as I go to complete the purchase the rest of the world starts to slip away and I'll recognize someone that I saw in passing and talking happened then some bearded fellow comes along and acts like he works there there will be women in dresses laying down someone will say I always feel like this is the best therapist sessions I've had then the bearded guy speaks saying he has to feed his cats , the sun has set and I still havent made my purchase. Good stuff. Go in empty leave full

A really cool experience. They have books, records, comics, VHS, and other hidden treasures. If digging through a semi-organized mess to uncover gems is your idea of a good time, this store creates that experience for you!

I love this store!! Richard is awesome. Great book readings and great music performers! One of Pasadena's finest. I say this because everytime I am here I gain something and increase my knowledge with either a new book or meeting a great person. Definitely check it out. Great atmosphere and positive energy.

I love this bookstore. It's a beautiful bookstore. I am grateful for its mere existence.

Well-curated used books from different categories; better diversity than a lot of smaller used bookstores I've used.

Outstanding selection! Staff member was so helpful and engaging.
