Conveniently Located in Your Favorite Westside Country Mart

Brentwood

Dear Reader,

We are thankful for the support that has been shown to the store in myriad ways. Thankful, too, for still being able to allow people into the store. We've been careful about the numbers of people in the store and are doing appointments to make things run smoother.

Please give us a call before coming in and we can schedule a 15 minute appointment for you. This minimizes lines, saves you time, and gives you unharried time in the store. Of course, DIESEL booksellers will be at the ready with able recommendations for best gifts and finding just the right books. We are very good at that!

As with many businesses this season, we anticipate shortages on books and distribution delays. This is why November is the new December, and it's best to get your shopping done early. We are open 10-6 M-F, and 10-5 Saturday and Sunday. We are ready, happy to wrap, and working to make the most of these difficult times!

Thanks for your support and encouragement. We look forward to sharing the wide world of books with you, your family, and friends this season. It is important to stay in touch with each other. And books, and bookstores, are two time-honored ways to do just that.

Gratefully,
Alison, John & all DIESELFolk

For Booksellers in L.A., a Partial Reopening Brings Hope and Anxiety

By Dorany Pineda via Los Angeles Times

EXCERPT:

On a recent Saturday afternoon, Hillary McMahon pulled up into a parking spot in Pasadena, where a sign attached to a traffic cone read: “Reserved for Vroman’s Curbside Pickup. Space 1.” She dialed the phone number listed below the sign and let the store know she was ready for her book.
