Acres of Books turns 70

The downtown Long Beach institution with an inventory of one million books celebrates seven decades in business, the last 45 years at 240 Long Beach Boulevard. In a Press-Telegram feature story that ran Sunday, Ray Bradbury says: "If you go in there for 10 minutes, you'll come out eight hours later....It's my favorite bookstore because it's so huge, so incredibly full of all the kinds of books you could possibly want."
