Some of the best brands in the world have their origin in the United States, and for those looking for quality, the nation is a shopper's paradise. While some cities and states specialize in style and fashion and a culture of glamour, there are other cities where the prevailing culture is centered on intellect and knowledge. This is the case in Pasadena, a vibrant city in California, with museums and galleries that nurture a culture based on learning, specializing in arts and science. For locals and visitors alike, a place buzzing with this culture is Vroman's Bookstore, both the largest and oldest of its kind in the entire Southern California region. Originally founded in 1894 by Adam Clark Vroman, the bookstore has been extremely successful throughout its life.

There are events on site almost daily, including book signings by esteemed authors and themed parties that will transport visitors straight into their favorite books. Some of the most popular figures in America, from presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton, to popular authors Salman Rushdie and Irving Stone have had book signings on site. There are occasions especially for children and budding writers hosted at Vroman's that will be well enjoyed by those who have the benefit of attending. The independently owned bookstore also often has intriguing art on display that will spice up the experience. Visitors staying in Pasadena must make it a point to drop in at Vroman's Bookstore.
