DVDs
As with our music, which tends toward jazz, blues, folk, and classical, our dvds are eclectic. We like to sell dvds that have some book or play basis, although some loyalties are basic: really well-done anime, Angelina Jolie since she was awarded her Academy Award for work here in the Valley (Girl, Interrupted), and simply flat-out essentials according to our lights.
