The Last Bookstore Downtown

The Last Bookstore's Downtown location belongs in a record guide because the ground-floor music department is a real part of the business, not merely a few LPs placed among books. New and used records and CDs sit within the former-bank space at Spring and 5th, alongside the shop's broader book and film operation. That setting makes it useful when several kinds of physical collecting belong in the day. The buying arrangements need care: the current dedicated selling page requires appointments, even though a more general vinyl page can sound as if any drop-in sale is welcome. Browse freely according to the shop's current visiting information, but arrange a collection assessment separately. Little Tokyo's record shops can form another Downtown-area leg afterward.

New and used vinyl and CDs, books and film formats at the Downtown location. The record department is on the ground floor.

Buying is currently by appointment. Email collection details and photos through the official selling instructions; eligible records, CDs, films and books may be bought for cash or trade, with identification required.

453 South Spring Street at 5th Street in Downtown Los Angeles. The official site identifies Pershing Square Metro as a nearby approach, with meters and paid lots in the area.

Separate a shopping visit from a selling appointment. For more records afterward, plan another leg to Going Underground and Salt Box in Little Tokyo.
