The Brand Library and Art Center in Glendale is a pretty cool place apprently, and Jim Bumgardner has a list of reasons why you should swing by and check it out:
2. The library specializes in music and art.
3. There is not a single book about accounting, insurance, or how to pay your taxes.
4. There are no novels by Tom Clancy.
5. There are books like Peepshows: A Visual History, and the Encyclopedia of Automatic Musical Instruments that cost much more on Amazon, or are shamefully out of print.
