It sold a selection of music and books, from classic literature to pulp.[3][4] The store was described by local press as "one of Topanga’s unfortunately best-kept secrets".[4]

The store was run by rock musician Justin Chancellor of the band Tool, and his wife Shelee Dykman,[5] who coined the phrase "lobal orning" which meant "to decorate the mind", in the sense of ornamenting the lobes of the brain.[5] The store closed March 1, 2008.
