"Of course, there was another serendipity provided by most of these stores--the owner, manager, and/or salesman who was a true bibliophile and who knew books like Tom Brady knows defenses. These people could tell you which edition, which translation, which interpretation you wanted, and whatever you wished to know about whatever you were seeking. One of the few remaining such stores is Dutton's on San Vicente where Doug Dutton is such an authority and is eager to help whomever and to talk books and music."--Paul Cummins in his paean to Los Angeles-area indie bookstores for the Santa Monica Mirror.
