This sunny little shop is located right on the Venice boardwalk, with a friendly and dedicated staff whose mission is helping customers locate that hard-to-find book. Along with a wide selection of titles published by major presses, Small World carries titles published by smaller presses.

This privately funded memorial, founded in 1995, honors those who served in Korea, a 3-year conflict (1950-53) that produced almost as many casualties as Vietnam. It consists of a circular "Pool of Remembrance" in a grove of trees and a triangular "Field of Service," highlighted by lifelike statues of 19 infantrymen, who appear to be trudging across fields.

Business description (8) view all

Small World Books is located at 1407 Ocean Front Walk in Venice and has been in the business of Book Stores since 1978.

Small World Books is located in Santa Monica, CA. This business specializes in Bookstores.

Adjacent to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, the Korean War Veterans Memorial features a large mural wall with sculpted soldiers and inscribed with the words "Freedom is not Free." The memorial also features photographic images of nurses, chaplains, crew chiefs and other support personnel that took part in the Korean War.

The well-read staff at Small World Books are always eager to help shoppers find the book that suits them. Due to it being a general bookstore the selection is, well, general, with titles published by both major and small presses in most subjects.

Tucked away just off the beaten path of the Venice Beach boardwalk lies Small World Books, a charming and peaceful haven for booklovers. With its entrance that opens into a corner of the Sidewalk Café's patio area, you might almost miss it if it weren't for a demure wooden sign pointing the way.
