As indie bookstores in L.A have shuttered retail operations, Hollywood Boulevard's LarryEdmundsBookshop is reaching out to the public for help
"Two years ago, the production team for a new Quentin Tarantino film about old Hollywood approached me and asked if they could rebuild the 1969 version of the Larry Edmunds Bookshop in its previous location, a few doors west. I agreed and watched with many others as an entire block of our beloved boulevard stepped back in time. Every night I would go out and see what new details the talented team had added that day," related Mantor.
Despite being featured in the Oscar-nominated film, Mantor explained that the store is struggling and added that the grant he's applied for would take time to acquire if approved and "will only be supplemental." Aware that "the fate of a cinema bookstore on Hollywood Boulevard doesn't seem like a big deal in the grand scheme of things," Mantor asserted that "Hollywood is a state of mind as much as it is a place."
