How was the collection important in the growth of Cook Books by Janet Jarvits, Bookseller?
When Janet bought the collection, she had limited resources and only the beginnings of cook book knowledge. Buying the collection (and selling it) enabled Janet to learn about cook books in-depth through analyzing a collection built by an expert in West Coast food. With the knowledge and financial boost given by the purchase of the collection, she was able to open her store devoted exclusively to cook books in Burbank, California. The store is presently located in Pasadena, California.
