Reading by Moonlight: books on LA history, Amazon's book store and more

The forecast tonight - clear and crisp with a beautiful full moon, which means that it's time for Reading by Moonlight, our monthly literary segment.

David Kipen of the Libros Schmibros Lending Library in Boyle Heights joins Alex Cohen to update us on the literary world.

This week, David's got two new books about LA history and one about Fred Ross, the man who taught Cesar Chavez how to organize. Oh! And Amazon's opening up a physical book store in San Diego.
