Stuart Ng Books
The first thing you notice at Stuart Ng Books is the wall filled with autographs and sketches from L.A.'s top animators. The South Bay rare book shop is immensely popular within the animation and comic book industries for Ng's impeccable selection of imported graphic novels, out-of-print art books and independently published artist sketchbooks. Open to the public only on Saturday afternoons and by appointment throughout the week, Stuart Ng Books isn't cheap, but it is reasonable. French and Belgian comics, which come in hardcover, glossy editions with exquisitely colored oversized panels, run about $30. The best deals are the artist sketchbooks, which start at $5. These often self-published, zine-styled releases offer a unique insight into the minds of animators and comic book artists. Ng stocks titles from Glen Murakami (Teen Titans), Eric Powell (The Goon) and many others. Check the store's Web site often, as it will list any upcoming promotional items. 22910 Crenshaw Blvd., Torrance. (310) 539-4648, stuartngbooks.com.

I absolutely LOVE this store. Fantastic books I'd never run into anywhere else, friendly and welcoming atmosphere, completely reasonable prices. I'd recommend Stuart Ng's to anyone who loves animation, illustration, art, or just really cool bookshops.
We traveled all the way from Dublin, Ireland to visit Stuart Ng books showroom and it was totally worth it. Great selection of books and sketchbooks, super friendly and informed staff, and a great website to buy from to boot. A must for any art and comics fan.
Wow! I'm so stoked! This bookstore is great! It is one of LA and the South Bay's best kept secrets. Everywhere you turn you find fabulous books and amazing artists. This place is GREAT! Thanks LA Weekly for giving this great store it's due!
