Great magazine Shop/newspaper stand. A wide variety of magazines. They even carry Italian Vogue, which made my gf a very happy woman.

I usually get my magazines from a few different newsstands in LA. I like some harder to get/overseas mags. that usually aren't sold in bookstores. After reading the good reviews, I gave this place a try. It's ok, but many B&N stores have a better/larger selection, let alone newsstands. If you need a magazine, and aren't close to B&N, then this will do.

I walked into Rags today and I was pretty amazed at the selection of magazines in the store. There is definitely something for everyone here- metaphysics, art, adult,political commentary- you name it, its there or can get there.
Aside from the awesome selection of mags, there is a nice cooler stocked with sodas, juice and water. They carry cigs, cigars, and some nice treats. I also saw some guy come up and buy a single cig. Hey, not sure if its a regular thing, but it helps when you left your pack at home.
The best part is probably Jim, one of the owners. He's a pretty friendly guy, so if you're not sure what you're interested in reading, I'm sure he can give you a recommendation.
All in all, a pretty cool place right in DTSA. I'm glad there is someone providing our minds with current and intelligent reading. -
Review from Christina S.

Why this place hasn't more reviews amazes me. This store is the BEST independent mom and pops type ran shop where you can find only the best and hard to find magazines. It's near the Crosby and a short walk from Mil Jugos, Memphis, Lolas (Lola Gaspar) and Gypsy Den. Basically it's in Downtown Santa Ana. You should pop in and meet Jim. Jim, the happy go lucky guy who nearly three years ago came into downtown bearing the gift that brought such eclectic reading material/literature to Santa Ana. Better yet to OC.
Everything from poetry, metaphysical, "alternative lifestyle", crafts, hippie shit, porn, news papers from major cities, architecture, graphic design, typical stuff that you will find at Borders, environmental magazines. You name it Rags has it!
Great things like::: Giant Robot, Dwell, Flaunt, Bitch, Atomic Ranch, Haute Living... etc etc! Yes, I love this place. Thanks Jim!!1 Previous Review: Show all »

An International News Stand right in the heart of Downtown!!! Jim has tried to add every art magazine that the locals have asked for. Magazines, local papers, NY Times, USA Today, international papers, free weeklies and monthlies. Gourmet chocolates and other snacks. The bev coolers haven't been installed yet but I hear of plans to stock specialty sodas, juices, and other beverages. I hit Rags at least once a week for something to read or something to snack on. Way to go Jim--thanks for adding to the Downtown experience.
Edit 7/24/07: Jim has added beverage coolers and more magazines and more snacks. -

I have been here a couple of times and I have to say this place is a hidden GEM! The owner is great to talk to and they have a wide selection of magazines to choose from. We are definitely lucky to have it in our neighborhood.

Definitely the sort of place that anyone with a sense of culture can appreciate. I can get my punk rock zine mainline-fix, my socio/political commentary urges can be placated, and my toddler son can get free crackers and peanut butter from the owner. This place is ABSOLUTELY worthy of your patronage. These are the sort of institutions that help keep DTSA alive and well and make it worth a drive from Old Towne Orange to visit. Help keep this fine establishment's doors open by picking up the most recent issue of the Economist, Razorcake, Socialist Workers Quarterly, Tigerbeat, or whatever you fancy. Rags rules!

For downtown Santa Ana it is great to see a fine selection of smut and art zines in this sliver of a retail space. Finally i have a place near my loft to buy smokes.

Thank god there is finally a fantastic news stand in Orange County!! Any mag you could want--art and adventure; politics and personality; graphic design and graphic porn (if that's your thing); cigarettes and chocolate--what have you. I love it! And it is right in the middle of Downtown! Thank you Rags for opening a quality stand for quality people.
