12 bizarre finds from The Last Bookstore's giant weekend warehouse sale

Categories: Studies in Crap

The biggest event in Los Angeles this last weekend, of course, was The Last Bookstore's enormous warehouse sale on West 15th, a two-day orgy of some 70,000 used and donated books, and all of the dry fingers, dust-irritated sinuses, and entire boxes of Dan Brown and The Lovely Bones that you would expect.

But as you can see in this week's Studies in Crap post over on our Style Council blog, there were heaps of strange greatness, as well. Where else might you find a jewel like God is in the Bedroom Too?

Representative Quote:
"For those of you who are married, if sex is not exactly a Disneyland experience, you may find yourself asking God the same question: 'Are we there yet?'"
Your Crap Archivist also dug up Henny Youngman's dirtiest jokes, a guide to improving your sex life though handwriting, a Los Angeles dietician's 1926 jeremiad against "genital deformities," and much, much more for you to shake your head at over at this week's Studies in Crap!

This place is a cool place and space. But nothing is cool about how this store is using/abusing its non profit to supply and fund this store. If people start asking and researching how they get all their books. They would realize that their non profit Booksforpeople.org is the source of all their books. They leverage their non profit to collect books from libraries and people donating their free books not realizing that they are going to a for profit store. The best or most valuable books are sold online on multiple amazon accounts like "happy customers" that has over 17,000 listings and a warehouse that has 100,000 books! Plus the 10,000 sq ft. book store! While the booksforpeople.org gets hardly any listings and the cheap books.  This is so wrong on many levels. Yeah, great store but because the fraudulently leverage a non profit for personal gain. Not cool! Don't support this store! They should be shut down for being dishonest for so long!!
