BUREAU : BOOK STORES LA
CARAVAN BOOK STORE
550 South Grand Avenue
Los Angeles CALIF 90071
Not too many Bookstores can claim to have
been in Los Angeles since 1954. Caravan
Books in Downtown Los Angeles is indeed
one of the first and unfortunately, also one
of the last of the Classic Book Stores in our
great City of Angels. Imagine all the writers
through the decades who looked through it's
windows and thought, " One day, my books
will be sold in this place. " From the great
child of L.A. John Fante, who has a corner
named after him not far from this landmark
bookstore, to Charles Bukowski who discovered
Fante' s books in the nearby Los Angeles Library
& went on to graduate from poetry and obscurity
as a mailman to Short Story writer and Novelist.
One can feel history upon entering this location.
