Here's are a couple of forgotten bookmarks found in a copy of Time is an Illusion by Chris Griscom, copyright 1986, signed "great love, Chris". Artwork on the actual bookmark is by Philip Kirkland. The back states:
Controversial Bookstore
Secret Teachings
Wellness - Music
Spiritual Paths

Crystals & Magic

Orders Welcome

The forgotten bookmark is a Mr.Settoni's coat ticket from The Highlander International Men's Fashions, University Towne Center.

I had to check the address on Google Maps because I live only a few blocks from University Avenue, and I found that the building that once housed the "Controversial Bookstore" is now empty. The Highlander clothing store still exists, but in La Mesa now instead of UTC/La Jolla.
ReplyDeleteThe pictures don't appear to be working right now. I'll come back and check again later.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I was totally wrong about the Controversial Bookstore being empty now--it's totally still there. ("Since 1963") Every time I've driven by it recently (I live in the neighborhood now) I've thought I should come back and comment on it here. :)
