Circa 1979 the iconic DG Wills Books opened on La Jolla Boulevard in a tiny, cramped back door location.
They provided French pastries and gourmet coffee on a small table as a Left Bank cafe in Paris. Francoise Gilot married to Jonas Salk funded a larger venue on Pearl Street some years later.
This fascinating bookstore is still open and home to the La Jolla Historical Society.
Many famous people have traversed DG Wills including Norman Mailer, NFL stars, Diane Keaton, and more.
Book stores can bring peace and solitude to a much-hurried world.
