Bookseller Doc of the Day: Welcome to the Last Bookstore

The Last Bookstore in Los Angeles "is far from being a secret. It's on every out-of-towner's itinerary, and you'd be hard pressed to go one month without seeing the store on someone's Instagram," LAist noted in showcasing Welcome to the Last Bookstore, a 12-minute documentary directed by Chad Howitt that chronicles the challenging path that led owner Josh Spencer--after he suffered life-altering injuries in an accident--to a place  where he "would come to nurture a passion in book-selling, which ultimately led to the Last Bookstore."

Earlier this year, the film toured the festival circuit, including the Newport Beach Film Festival to the AFI Docs fest. "The Last Bookstore struck me as such a paradox," Howitt said. "It was like seeing a magic trick. I just couldn't understand how it was possible. So I wanted to find out more about it."
