About Us
Vroman’s Bookstore is Southern California’s oldest and largest independent bookstore. We have been independently owned since 1894. Serving the Southern California literary community and the Pasadena area specifically, we host over 300 events a year and support local charities with our Vroman’s Gives Back program. At our three locations, we have an extensive selection of books, magazines, gifts, stationery and fine writing instruments.
In 2008, we received the highest honor a bookstore can be given when we were named Publishers Weekly’s Bookseller of the Year.

Hi, my name is Josh Vroman, and I have been searching for well over a year now and gathering little bits of information about where my family came from. Ironicly << probably not spelled right, the founder for your bookstore is from La Salle, IL. My extended family, great-grandparents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins are from Rock Island, IL which is only 1 hour and 32 mins away. Im thinking that there may be a connection. Sorry I chose this method to get into touch with you, but I figure the more public it is, hopefully the better the response!! You folks have a wonderful day!
Josh
