On Sunday, I had an East Side Day
with my friend Alex (or an ESD as we call it). Although living in Silver
Lake makes every day an ESD for me, Alex is a West Sider, and driving east
of La Brea takes a special occasion. Not that I blame him- in the time it takes to cross Los
Angeles in heavy traffic, you could drive across several New
England states.
Anyway, we made plans to check out
The Last Book Store on Spring Street in downtown LA. I had never been there before, but I’ve only heard great things. And let me confirm what everyone has already said- this store is simply magical! It’s like no other book
store I’ve ever been to- especially the second floor, appropriately named “The
Labyrinth”. The Labyrinth is full of
nooks and crannies to explore, and has a spacious dollar book section,
organized by color. It's like a rainbow of books!
The Last Book Store is in the old Crocker Bank Building. Its interiors are adorned with beautiful high ceilings and ornately detailed crown molding. Best of all, the original vault room is still there and houses the crime, law, horror, and "other weirdness" books. I highly recommend you check out this magnificent store!
