Review:

Since being established in 1964, Bart's Books has grown into America's largest independently owned and operated outdoor bookstore. The bookstore now has almost one million books for sale, including everything from rare art books worth thousands of dollars to 35-cent paperback specials that are offered for sale on the outdoor shelves via the honor system. These books can be purchased 24/7 by putting money through a slot in the door, but it's well worth visiting the store during opening hours to browse the rest of the book selection and to marvel at the lemon tree growing in the center of the building.
