Fascinating what people say on their deathbeds. The following are true quotes, actually documented by witnesses:
Oscar Wilde: "Either that wallpaper goes, or I do."
Lord Byron: "Now I shall go to sleep. Good night."
Eugene O'Neill: "Born in a hotel room -- and God damn it -- died in a hotel room."
Emily Dickinson: "The fog is rising."
Edgar Allen Poe: "Lord, help my poor soul."
Franz Kafka: "Kill me, or else you are a murderer!"
Dylan Thomas: "I just had eighteen straight scotches. I think that's the record…"
and our own personal favorite:
Walt Whitman: "Hold me up, I want to shit".
I love it here!
I've been to bookshops all over the world, and Mystery Pier is by far the best ---
I LOVE the shop!
A delight!
With much gratitude ---
I've died and gone to heaven.Here's to a long, long friendship ---
This bookshop possesses great artistry. Harvey & Louis are raconteurs, bon vivants & bookmen of the highest element.
Mystery Pier has single-handedly turned me into a collector of First Editions -- If I'm lying I'm flying!!! This bookshop possesses great artistry. Harvey & Louis are raconteurs, bon vivant & bookmen of the highest element ---
From the moment I walked through the door, I found magic on the shelves of Mystery Pier Books ---
This shop is so incredible they ought to charge admission ---
I could spend a lifetime here!
More a museum and place of treasure than a shop. A dream.
A must for every L.A. visit ---
I could spend days here! ---
Mystery Pier Books is like the most wonderful museum, except you get to buy the exhibits.
Home from home. ---
Wow! Amazing shop! Now I have to learn how to read ---
