Dutton’s in Brentwood: Saved!

This news is actually a week old, and for many, might not even have become news.  Dutton’s Brentwood is a bookstore on San Vincente Boulevard in Los Angeles, and has become something of a landmark.  The first time I met Janet Fitch was at Dutton’s, at what I think I recall was her first reading, for Paint It Black.

Recently, plans to demolish it were put into effect.  But after a rather major campaign to save the store, those plans were scrapped (link to The Elegant Variation).

Just thought it was nice news to report, especially for Dutton’s and especially for writers near Los Angeles.  So hoorah!
