Looks like a huge number. I love the idea of the building being a former bank. Now it's a bank full of ideas and adventures. Thanks for a great season of Oddity Odysseys. Can't wait to see more!

    LBS is so much fun. Incidentally, here are 4 extra treats film buffs will find within walking distance of LBS: Three shooting locations for Ridley Scott's 1982 Blade Runner (Bradbury Building, Million Dollar Theatre, 2nd Street Tunnel (Between Hill & Figueroa) & LA City Hall = The Daily Planet (Adventures of Superman, TV series 1952-58). When you're through with those destinations, take the subway over to Union Station because that's where R. Scott shot Blade Runner's LAPD station. Enjoy!

    Awesome place. A place where I will definitely visit on my trip to LA. Thank you Josh for your vision and dedication to bringing back the old-fashion way of reading, ready touching the book and making it fun and magical...Do you accept book donations? where to ship? etc. I live on Oahu, Hawaii. Thank you and your Team for making this happen. CJ

    It's so funny! The only reason why I came here is because the lady talking, Katie Orphan, is actually an eyewitness in the Elisa Lam case as she was one of the very few people who saw her alive. That's why I decided to watch this video. It's even more strange to know that the bookstore is located in one of the most dangerous sections of LA called Skid Row but this bookstore looks so appealing and a safe place to visit.

    • @brandixx7453
      @brandixx7453 2 года назад

      Interesting. What brought me to this vid was their other video of the LA tunnels and I had been wondering, for a long time now, if there happened to be tunnels under or very near The Cecil Hotel, saw they made a vid about the Last Book Store and I knew it was right next to The Cecil. Saw a random comment on a totally different video of some guy claiming he and a friend had gotten "lost" in the tunnels and popped up somewhere unaware of where they were and where they came out was none other than The Last Book Store. .. It all comes together now.
