One of our greatest writers, William Faulkner, one day went out dove hunting with director Howard Hawks and an actor he had never met, Clark Gable (a movie star not known for high intelligence). Faulkner and Hawks were having a long discussion about literature and writers while the actor just stayed silent. Finally, Gable asked the other two who they thought were the greatest living authors. Each of them named some names and Faulkner also named himself. Gable was surprised and said, "Oh, are you a writer, Mr. Faulkner?" "Yes, I am, " replied Faulkner, " and tell me, Mr. Gable, what do you do?"
Wow! Amazing shop! Now I have to learn how to read ---
From the moment I walked through the door, I found magic on the shelves of Mystery Pier Books ---
I could spend days here! ---
Mystery Pier Books is like the most wonderful museum, except you get to buy the exhibits.
A must for every L.A. visit ---
More a museum and place of treasure than a shop. A dream.
I could spend a lifetime here!
I've been to bookshops all over the world, and Mystery Pier is by far the best ---
Home from home. ---
