I went to Hennessey & Ingalls again yesterday. Located on Wilshire in Santa Monica, it claims to be "the largest bookstore dealing in the Visual Arts in North America".
Its nondescript, warehouse-like decor belies the magnificent loot: books on art, architecture, design, photography, fashion, media, travel, and more, line up table after table, shelve after shelve.It's total crack for the eye and mind. Whenever I step in there, I spend hours, lose my shirt, and go home poor but laden with treasures. Love it!

LOVE that place. it's good to see that it hasn't gotten swallowed by chain.
You're absolutely right. The vibe is so different from the usual B&N or Borders. I love watching the people at Hennessey, they have such a "gourmand" look on their face!
