A Local Bookstore Struggles To Stay Alive

Max Wheeler, part owner of Equator Books, recently made the case for saving the troubled Venice bookstore on The Huffington Post. Equator carries a unique inventory- rare and out-of-print literature, with a focus on art, architecture, design, and poetry. They also have specialty categories that include Prostitution & Call Girls, Black Studies, Circus Freaks & Bullfighting, and Drugs & Crime. There’s not another bookseller in town- any town- quite like it. From Wheeler:

Our store has a direct and dynamic relationship with our community and the people in it, something that cannot be replicated by the impersonal corporate behemoth.
