Lost Books

Books. Plants. Vinyl. Absolutely heaven for me!! What a beautiful space. Energy here was sooooooo positive. Music plays in the background. Several nooks and crannies to sit for a few, read and take in the ambience of the space. Selections were reasonable and the prices were as well. The birds space was a great touch. I was so busy buying up books I forgot to take a picture. Would recommend this space and I'll definitely keep coming back.

This is a beautiful bookstore. The ambiance is so welcoming and peaceful. You can come and read a book here. There are different chairs and sofas where you can sit. I love that is all surrounding by plants. The place is very clean and stylish. This is a must see!!

I love this place! First of all it's aesthetically pleasing and set up in a really awesome way kind of like a maze of books. Second it's right by my house so that's convenient. And third the prices are amazing. Today I scored a vintage Carl Jung book a vintage Egyptian mystery school book, a book on religious psychoanalysis by David Fromm, And then a new book about synchronicities by Carl Jung. I got all that for $25 like what?! I wish they had more occult books vintage occult would be amazing maybe one day they will. Anyways love this place Good place to go on a date too or like you know as part of your date I don't think it would be great to spend your whole day there That would be weird but like it's a really chill place highly recommend!

Beautiful plant filled bookstore! When you first enter, you get to walk through a lush plant tunnel. The shelves curve around the store in a bit of a maze, which I enjoyed though can make it difficult if someone's trying to get around you or go the opposite direction since the space between shelves is rather narrow. They also have a birdcage with a variety of small birds near their sci fi/fantasy section. Though not as big a selection as some other places, it's still a fun place to browse, and I'd highly recommend a visit.

Beautiful store build of words and atmosphere. I greatly admire the heart behind this business venture and I highly esteem those who have executed such a pristine place. This building has held many a business throughout the last 3 decades and this book shop is by far my favourite of all. A very good use of space.

The atmosphere is great. It's very peaceful and it's easy to find books. I love all the plants and they even have a giant bird cage embedded. I like the random chairs so you can sit and briefly read a book description.

Loved the atmosphere of the bookstore. Felt a soothing and relaxing mood from the plants, but at same time felt an adventurous sensation as I walk through the maze of book shelves. All the books were unique and each book felt as if they had history. Amazing place to find new books even for those who don't enjoy reading. Definitely recommend this place for everyone!

wide selection of used and new books, plants for sale, and records in the back. the maze-like setup lends itself to hours of exploring, and they have cozy chairs to take a rest if you get tired. they have a lot of art books and film creation, literary criticism, witchcraft, LA history, paranormal romance, LQBTQ+, manga, etc. they don’t have many children’s book, but that’s good it doesn’t overlap since it’s closely located to the once upon a time bookshop.

there’s a new bird cage installation, and the bird noises can be calming or no, depending on your preferences.

there’s a $1 book section out front, and the plants out there also prices on them.

they have restrooms in the back, but you can’t use them until you checkout and show a receipt, which rushes the shopping a little bit, unfortunately.

Amazing little bookstore. They have tables and chairs for patrons to rest to do whatever, read, drink coffee, meet with friends. It is a lovely bookstore

The vibe reminds me of Avilla Beach, 30 or so years ago. Loved all the plants, the aviary, the mix of old and used books, the serious good vibes you get from your fellow customers....everyone just happy to be in this groovy, sweet and nostalgia-inducing book shop.

Me and my husband often go to this store and find comfort from nostalgic vintage books and vinyls. Even their plants collection is great, we could find very eclectic and beautiful one whenever we go there. Just hope their vinyl supplies get refreshed more often. All in all, I’m just grateful that they are there in Montrose..

Just wonderful. It is the element of nature that makes this bookstore unique. There isn’t as much inventory as there are in The Last Bookstore, but still a treat for book lovers.

We came in on a Monday around 1pm and there are very few people. There is public parking around the corner. Save some time to explore the area, the whole strip is worth visiting.

Love this place. The plants, the misty spray, the plethora of books, records, movies, for all ages. And you can donate books, they will even buy some books. Nice workers and the birds inside are a nice touch. No longer can go in thru the back so park nearer the front or know you'll have to walk down the alley and back to get in.

Wow the place is absolutely spectacular in a very nice small town in Montrose. The bookstore is filled with greenery and open space. Such beautiful aesthetic and great selection of books! Looking to come back soon!

Beautiful place!! So many plants and all the books make it such a cool place. It's smaller than expected but i found good books at a great price. Highly recommend this place, i will most definitely be back.

First time visiting. It was a little too busy for me on a Sunday afternoon, but I would definitely return again. The bookshop is set up like a maze so it's a fun little shopping experience. Used book prices are very reasonable.

Such a cool bookstore and some really great vinyl too! Nice, friendly staff. Great selection of books. Beautifully decorated.

This is such a delightful little used bookstore. It has a couple styles of small plants at the front that you can buy for about $20, but large plants everywhere, birds and a fish tank as well.

Their store’s bookshelves wind around in semi circles, which makes you feel a little more like a wanderer instead of the normal rows.

They also know the value of focusing on books. Instead of all the spines facing out, they face book covers out every few books. This helps draw people attention to a book and, in my opinion, makes it easier to end up buying it. Prices seem to range from $3 and up to standard pricing for new books.

I will definitely stop in here regularly.

A truly amazing bookstore with a huge selection of old and long forgotten books. The atmosphere in this store is immaculate, with the songbirds singing and tweeting peacefully as you browse around

Lost Books is such a unique adorable bookstore, that has a variety of new and used books. The entrance has a tunnel of plants to walk through, and the books are displayed in a circular maze shape which makes the store even more fun to explore!
