Book signing event for Mikki Daughtry's new book, "Time After Time" was entirely successful. Excellent venue.

Wonderful book store. I purchased a signed copy of the book, Max Miller's Tasting History. I thought it wasn't signed because I was stressing over a new baby we were about to have and totally missed it. The support was very prompt in helping me figure out my mistake and very kind. Next time I'm in the area, I would love to stop by in person. Thanks again!

I go here every year for my client's book release and signing. It's a smaller book store packed with books and helpful staff. It's nice to be able to still go to a bookstore as opposed to ordering online.

Their youth selection is excellent and the staff always takes the time to give my daughter (directly) and us suggestions based on what she has recently liked. Thank you!

I love me a good bookshop! Diesel is tucked away in the Brentwood Country Mart, which is worth exploring in and of itself. Due to COVID you can't wander around the store, but the staff was useful in helping me find the book I was looking for. I recommend checking online before visiting to make sure the item you're looking for is in stock. Cool vibe and can't wait to check it out more post-COVID.

This is one of my favorite book stores in LA. I come here any time I need a pick-me-up. They have an amazing selection of books and the people who work there are so kind and welcoming. Last time I went they had the exact book I was looking for on display right when I walked in, it felt serendipitous!

Amazing book shop, I go there everytime I come to los angeles. The staff is amazing and so helpful. I couldn't found an article I got there months ago, as my best friend wanted the same, on their shelves, and the lovely girl who was working there went above and beyond to found it for me. 😊✨️ I also always feel so welcomed when in this book store. And they are always so good for books recommendations and they have amazing postcards and little gifts you can get for you or for friends. Highly recommend.
