his legendary élan, is a man who enjoys his low profile. He

Africa); and his business origins (Wall Street). |

collector of books, vintage apparel and textiles, and a self-described urban
archeologist. A former designer, manufacturer and importer of overpriced
tchotchkes, Bustillos also serves on the board of the

organization dedicated to furthering the interests of independent booksellers online. |

a former partner in Intentional Company of Los Angeles and like our CEO,
