What we love
The world’s largest outdoor bookshop, set in the scenic Ojai Valley. Inspired by the Parisian book carts on the River Seine, Bart’s Books started with a few bookcases of books outside Richard Bartinsdale's home. Today Bart’s Books has a collection of over 130,000 titles housed in a series of open-air bookcases. Books range from the thirty-five cent specials that are for sale on the honor system, to the rare, out of print first editions that cost thousands of dollars.
"Everything, under the sun."
