Occasional Local Events at the Last Bookstore in Los Angeles...

Bookstores are in obviously great company in creating an intellectual even spiritual and nurturing environment for the mind!

May there always be bookstores!  There is something special about holding real books.  I treasure the art books that I have with color plates.    When I was young a teacher asked how many books we had at home. I answered hundreds. Both of my parents loved to read.   I'm way beyond that number now. 

 Good morning Endre. Let's hope that that is not the last bookstore in existence. There have been a lot of bookstores in this area that have closed due to online competition.

I love the name of this bookstore.  I am a literacy advocate and volunteer as Discussion Leader for the Missouri Humanities Council's Read From The Start.  I would be at the store often if I was in the area.

Good morning Endre. We used to stop in at bookstores all the time, but not so much these days, but you go for a different reason. Hope you keep finding those special books.

Make it a great weekend!

Maybe you'll find the perfect book that was made into a movie and you'll write a post about it for my contest..........with or without video.

I love love love the name of this book store, Endre!   And I would love your weather today.   It is 0 degrees with a lot of wind.  

Endre, it may well be one of the last Bookstores as well. Independent at least.  I fondly remember the little book store that used to be in Downtown Waterbury,  Mercy Boyd's.  It looked like one of those book stores you might find in England, and it just had a special smell

Endre, I like reading a book and want to hold it in my hand...not an iPad.  The name of this bookstore is one that people will remember.

I am into books and collecting to Endre. It is sort of sad that there are few book stores left. The small guy has been run out of town by Amazon.  I just got a 100 year old book on the history of elegant apartment buildings in Chicago. I waited 10 years on a waiting list of many rare book sellers to find this and it is really cool. Many buildings in the book are not even still surviving.

Hi Endre - That's a great name for a bookstore but it's so sad that these are disappearing. We used to have a great one in Denver - the Tattered Cover - but it's just an empty shell of its former self.

Endre sounds like the Last Bookstore in Los Angeles, CA is as much of an event as it is a bookstore.

Endre,

 You would love London they have so many antique bookstores I would and I hear lots of 1st Editions I would not know what to look for. We did stop by Waterstones and pick up a few books!

This is a great post for book lovers (and music!) in the Los Angeles, CA area.  I can see why you love the Last Bookstore.  I like to read too - we didn't talk about that when we spoke.  ;)  Always learning. . . :)

I love to read, too, Endre. Lately things in life have made it so I haven't been able to pick up a good book. I miss that. 

Sounds like my kind of place Endre, I enjoy spending time in these kinds of places, though as of late, I have been taking the easy way out and just stopping by Amazon.
