Background
The Heritage Book Shop was an antiquarian bookshop located in Los Angeles, founded and owned by brothers Ben and Louis Weinstein.
The shop started initially as B & J Merchandisers in early 1963 on Compton Boulevard in Compton, California, selling books,
clothes, tools, and other items. The bookshop moved to various rented locations early on, but by November of 1988 the brothers
moved the bookshop to a former mortuary on Melrose Avenue in West Hollywood.
