Contrary to the stereotypes of Los Angeles residents, Angelenos love their books. Here’s a 1976 photo from the LA Public Library book sale as the crowds at the annual Los Angeles Times Festival of Books are equally hungry for the published written word. There is so much great history at the Festival of Books - on stage and in the booths. Take a look at the program for a complete listing of panels and performances. As the Festival of Books can offer an overwhelming amount of great choices, perhaps highlights compiled LAObserved, KCET, and LA Review of Books can help.
