Description

A great gift for your favorite book lover! Vroman's Bookstore in Pasadena is offering a peek behind the curtain at the inner workings of this 121-year old literary legend and local institution, beloved by readers. View historical photos of the store dating back to its original location (now Jamba Juice in old town!) as well as original photographs of Native Americans and national parks taken by Adam Clark Vroman himself. (Ansel Adams referred to Mr. Vroman as one of his greatest influences). Learn how books are selected for the store's 85,000 title inventory. Meet the people who put their hearts and hard work into helping an indie bookstore thrive. Walk the backrooms; preview upcoming books; enjoy a treat at Vroman's new coffeeshop, The Next Chapter, by Jones Coffee Roasters; and have your favorite books featured on a display created just for you. Great for book clubs, scout troops or readers of all ages. For up to 12 people.
