The Only Alex Maslansky of Stories Books and Cafe, The Only Bookstore in The World, has passed. We want to raise money to support the business and staff during this difficult transition. Most of us in the ever-changing Echo Park community wouldn't even know each other without our Stories homeland. So in the spirit of that togetherness, we want to honor and protect our community as the staff attempt to manage this unmanageable situation.

Any donations that exceed the goal will go towards Alex's memorial.
