![]() ![]() I remember finding a copy of Rabelais’ “Gargantua and Pantagruel” that my more erudite cousin had been looking for, and being surprised by a spectral bookseller who perked up suddenly when I bought a P.G. (I found plenty of treasures at my library’s “Buck a Bag” sales.) And used bookstores are still where you’ll often find me.ĭo you have any favorite local stores from the past or present? There used to be a cluster around Vroman’s Colorado Boulevard location in Pasadena, and I’ll always remember the one with the pungent kitty litter smell that existed where the pizza place is now (it smells great these days, don’t worry). ![]() Used bookstores, that’s what I’m talking about.Īlong with library fundraisers, thrift shops, yard sales, and other second-hand options, that’s where I did the bulk of my book shopping growing up. ![]()
