Bank of Books


The Bank of Books is located on Main Street in Ventura, California. The bank opened in 1996 on the internet and they now have over 1 million books in their warehouses and bookstores. The topics of books include History, Literature, Science, Children's books and Biographies.

If the book you are looking for is not found in the warehouse that you visit, the owner will go out of their way to find the book from one of the other warehouses. Each fortnight over 6000 books are processed.

The books are easy to see and find, the warehouses are kept clean and placed to maintain the integrity of the books bindings, covers and pages. Not only does the bank have rare books there are also books that have been autographed by the author, first editions and books that are over 100 years old.

The two-storey Main Street store has several areas with old couches where visitors are welcome to sit and enjoy a book or take advantage of the free wireless internet. There are also old copies of National Geographic, cassette tapes, vinyl records and 8 tracks.

Visitors to the store do not need a lot of money to purchase items from the Bank of Books; they only need a couple of dollars to purchase a small piece of literary history.
