My latest Hollywood trip

Winkfan:
I've been meaning to give some of you the details on how I spent my 41st birthday last week, but with one thing and another, I never got around to doing so--until now.

As I did last year on my 40th birthday, I spent the day in Hollywood. I spent a couple of hours visiting UCLA, I didn't check out their media library, though. The building that housed them was undergoing reconstruction. I also went to a shop on Hollywood Boulevard called Backlot Books and Posters. They have a ton of old photos of hundreds of celebs, including many game show pics. I bought about 28 of the game show photos; 12 of them were from the old Pantomime Quiz show. (and they were ALL of host Mike Stokey to boot!) I also got an old Radio & TV Mirror issure from 1955 which had an article on Bud Collyer.

Needless to say, I had a great time!

Cordially,
Tammy Warner--the Annette Cash of the Big Board!'

Tammy -

What a great way to spend a birthday! I'm heading to LA this weekend (big pilgramage - I'm Canadian and flying out of Buffalo) to see TPIR.  Wondering where on Hollywood Boulevard this shop would be - would love to visit it!

Thanks in advance,

Ryan V.

 A little bit of Google work reveals that it's on the corner of Hollywood and Vine, so I imagine you shouldn't have too much trouble finding it. :)

If you ever do go there, good luck. I bought many of the 'good' pics. But who knows? Maybe they'll come up with some since my last visit. There's another collectors' bookstore a few block up Hollywood Boulevard; maybe they'll have some stuff there.

I'd also highly recommend a store -- whose name I can't recall right now, naturally -- in the old downtown of Burbank.  (One of you California types could help out here.)  Still, the downtown Burbank strip is only a few blocks long, it won't be hard to find.  It's an all-entertainment used book store with tons of books, magazines and photographs.  A must-see stop when I make my annual pilgrimages to the Holy Land of TV production.
