Welcome to Hollander Books

As of November 2019 we have relocated to Downtown Los Angeles from San Francisco. Our stock is in pretty good order now, but there are still plenty of inaccurate listings. Bear with us if we cannot easily locate the items that are listed. The effects of the move will be an issue for years to come. (As of June 2025 still the case.)

An exciting development is that our bookstore now shares space with a Jewish community building venture in Downtown Los Angeles - Der Nister. (aka Der Nister - Downtown Jewish Center). Downtown Los Angeles is a boomtown of sorts. The population has grown from 25,000 is 2003 to 89,000 as recently as 2019. There is a Chabad but otherwise downtown Jews are unserved. The goal of Der Nister is to made Judaism a more vital part of the lives of the Jews in the neighborhood (Think Ahad Ha-am, Mendele, El Lissitsky, Gertrude Stein, Abraham Joshua Heschel, Celia Dropkin, John Zorn, Tiffany Haddish, etc.). Check it out.

Our bookseller's blog.has been pretty quiet for a while but there are plenty of entries still worth a look.
