Looking for Something Else?

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!

Purchases made at our Gamble House Bookshop site also support our museum.

Shop from our "Staff Picks" lists or use the search bar at the top of the page to find your latest read.

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.
