Eso Won Books was named one of "five great places to buy last-minute gifts in Los Angeles" by LAist, which wrote: "Tucked in a cozy storefront on Degnan Boulevard in Leimert Park, this landmark bookstore is one of the most prominent African American-oriented indie booksellers in the nation. They have a fantastic L.A. history section, and also specialize, as they put it, 'in titles by and about the world in which black people exist.' " LAist advised readers to "vote with your dollars this holiday season and support black-owned small businesses, while also browsing one of the best book selections in L.A.!"
