When Pynchon's "Gravity's Rainbow" was first published, the New York Times reviewer said it was "bonecrushingly dense, compulsively elaborate, silly, obscene, funny, tragic, pastoral, historical, philosophical, poetic, grindingly dull, inspired, horrific, cold, bloated, beached, and blasted."
If that sounds good to you, we've got a gorgeous First Edition: $3,500.
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 ---
I've died and gone to heaven.Here's to a long, long friendship ---
Wow! Amazing shop! Now I have to learn how to read ---
I could spend a lifetime here!
A delight!
From the moment I walked through the door, I found magic on the shelves of Mystery Pier Books ---
More a museum and place of treasure than a shop. A dream.
With much gratitude ---
I love it here!
I LOVE the shop!
I could spend days here! ---
Mystery Pier Books is like the most wonderful museum, except you get to buy the exhibits.
I've been to bookshops all over the world, and Mystery Pier is by far the best ---
This shop is so incredible they ought to charge admission ---
A must for every L.A. visit ---
Home from home. ---
