William Kiesel presents an encore of his Magic of Books talk in the PRS Library, using rare volumes from the collection to explain bookbinding, printing, and papermaking. Attendees also get a look at how the library's holdings support preservation and research.
A quietly mystical Los Feliz compound that feels like you accidentally wandered onto the set of a 1930s occult noir. There’s a library packed with esoteric texts, a courtyard that begs for whispered conversations, and a steady calendar of lectures that swing from genuinely mind-expanding to delightfully unhinged. Come for a talk on alchemy or Jung, stay because the energy is strange in a soothing way. It’s cerebral, eerie, and deeply LA in the most charming sense.
