Lee Kaplan and host Paris Chong discuss the realities of running a long-term business, with Lee candidly describing the transition from the thrill of the hunt for rare books to the daily "grind" of operations. The conversation shifts to the history of Arcana Books’ home within the iconic Helms Bakery complex, which Lee reveals was built for the 1932 Los Angeles Olympics. They explore the building's previous life as a high-end mattress showroom and share a mutual understanding of how challenging it can be for business owners to find the time and energy to engage with the art and culture scene outside of their own daily work environments.
