Skylight is one of the last, best neighborhood bookstores in L.A. I've been to readings here and have spent plenty of time browsing the books, cards and magazines. Great selection of glossies, both mainstream and independent, and tons of industry-related books. The fiction and poetry selections are also solid, and the staff are helpful and willing to special order a title if you ask. I stop here first when there's a book I want to buy.
Pros: Neighborhood vibe, Service/selection, Events
Cons: Limited parking
