Bart's Books, Outdoor bookstore in Ojai, United States.

Bart's Books houses more than 130,000 books arranged in indoor rooms and outdoor shelves throughout a spacious California property.

Richard Bartindale established this bookstore in 1964, drawing inspiration from the open-air bouquinistes along the Seine River in Paris.

The bookstore maintains a collection of rare volumes, out-of-print editions, and contemporary publications that attract readers from different backgrounds.

Visitors can purchase books during off-hours by depositing money into designated coin boxes placed near the street-facing outdoor shelves.

A 300-year-old oak tree stood within the bookstore premises until its natural fall, marking a notable chapter in the location's history.
