I lived in LA for a few decades, and one of the few things that kept me sane as a software engineer living in a land of space cadets and celebrity worshiping airheads was the grand plethora of technical bookshops and electronics supply stores that were, once, liberally littered across the landscape from Burbank to Culver City to East LA.

I haven't been back to LA in decades, but I sure hope that OpAmp Bookstore is still alive and kicking, and has had its share of bookshop cats since I last scratched that scruffy itch. LA has so many wonderful secret locations hidden in obscure streets, behind strange storefronts .. it was one of those cities where the old maxim "don't judge the food by the entrance" was also true of bookshops ...

Opamp is gone, Burbank Electronics is gone, Norton Sales is still there but a fraction of what it once was, All Electronics is still going, Apex (best of the best) still going, and Luky's hardware is still open.
