J & J opened in Dec '03, but the idea began months earlier. As an American living in Madrid, Jamie says the thing she missed the most was being able to curl up in a big chair with a mocha in one hand and several books to read in her lap.

So together with her husband, Javi, they moved to Los Angeles to buy thousands (and I mean thousands!) of books from used bookstores, libraries sales, yard sales and anywhere else they could find good used books. Then they returned to Madrid to convert a Chinese restaurant into their dream Bookstore/Coffee shop.

Now it's a great success. They have tons of EVENTS, a great Menu with imported beers and American Cocktails, and many great second-hand BOOKS to choose from.
