Heritage Book Shop

Heritage Book Shop is closing ... according to this LA time story ... Ben Weinstein, the owner, mentions the 1922 first edition of James Joyce's "Ulysses", an original copy of Beethoven's opera "Fidelio;", Shakespeare's Folios, an 1860s first edition of Tolstoy's "Voina i Mir" ("War and Peace"), a 1656 printing of one of Galileo's texts in Italian, a 1543 copy of Copernicus' "On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres," .... pretty awesom. Though sad to see it go ...

Lou Weinstein brother-co-owner, already retired.

Happily, Ben is contributing 12,000 reference texts used to assess rare books to UCLA's William Andrews Clark Memorial Library.

Neat!! If you're looking for a particular Mauscript ... the goto guy is Ben who according to the story will "rent an office in the Pacific Design Center and serve as a "book broker,""

So ... all's not lost
