vintage books

During my quick trip to LA to shoot a wedding and visit my sister, we stopped by two used bookstores, equally amazing in their own way.  The first was Alias Books East in Atwater Village.  They have a carefully curated selection of used books, and I hit the jackpot there.  The second bookstore was The Iliad Bookshop in Hollywood.  There I was able to find a pretty sweet edition of The Lord of the Rings (although I'm missing The Fellowship of the Ring still) and also Elizabeth Barrett Browning's Sonnets from the Portuguese. I don't know why, but I absolutely love used bookstores and never leave empty handed...
