The Book Den is California`s Oldest Used-Book Store

Sometime during 1902, two brothers, Ernest and Thomas Angel, opened a book store at 1257 Broadway in Oakland, California. In 1904, they moved the store four blocks down Broadway to 464 Eighth Street, and by 1905, they were out of business. Not a very auspicious beginning for what would become one of the oldest book stores in California. more
