Did You Know?

We're a specialized bookstore, which means we don't carry a lot of titles you might find in other stores.

But don't fret, you can still support us whether you're a lover of fiction or cookbooks or just about anything else!

Check out our new Bookshop Winter Catalog for more generalized recommendations for everyone on your list.

The Gamble House Bookstore is a drop-off site for Pasadena For All, a local grassroots mutual aid and advocacy organization who come together every Saturday to distribute items to our unhoused neighbors.

Items currently in high demand:

Sleeping bags, tents, new and unused socks & underwear, beanies, scarves, gloves, closed-toe shoes, masks, tarps, flashlights, batteries, blankets, hygiene items, first aid kits and hats.

Please refrain from donating stained or torn clothing. Please launder items prior to donation.
