North Figueroa Bookshop

NORTH FIGUEROA BOOKSHOP is a general interest bookstore in the heart of the historic Highland Park neighborhood of Northeast Los Angeles, a joint venture of Rare Bird and Unnamed Press, two Los Angeles–based independent book publishers, with the collaborative support of founding publisher sponsors, Grove Atlantic and MCD Books. The store directly serves the neighborhoods of Highland Park, Glassell Park, and Eagle Rock, and is a beautiful, custom-design literary space that seeks to connect the independent publishing community with readers, booksellers, authors, and book lovers. The store's shelves hold a rotating selection of titles from our publishing partners, as well as a curated general interest selection with a focus on California history and literature, literature in translation, books in Spanish, and independent press publications. As publishers, Rare Bird and Unnamed have been collaborating on projects for the last few years. The first of which, Shadows of Love, Shadows of Loneliness, a landmark two-volume retrospective of William T. Vollmann's photography, art, and printing, is scheduled for release in 2023.
