Just recently I was watching the movie 84 Charing Cross and it made me think of the book store.<BR/><BR/>That sure is a prize McKuen book you have.

I don't know why it closed, as we had a thriving business while I was there.<BR/>I also have a book with Rod McKuen's tennis-shoe face plate.

Best wishes, James Herriot".Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14222737348105648127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3714511752800130277.post-63478263616521748102008-05-13T13:15:00.000-04:002008-05-13T13:15:00.000-04:00I forgot one of the most wonderful bookstores in T...I forgot one of the most wonderful bookstores in Toluca Lake, "Geographia". A wonderful map and travel store. If you love maps as I do this is the place to go in the SFV. Even in this day of Google Earth there is nothing like holding a map in your hands.Carey A, Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03575907804180246542noreply@blogger.com
