DRAGON BOOKSÂ (

After twisting and turning your way up Beverly Glen, there is a true surprise in store: Dragon Books. Owner Jay Penske is an entrepreneur of many stripes, but it was his passion for old books that drove him to open a store that looks more like an enviable home library. Decorative-arts connoisseurs will enjoy first-edition History of the Metropolitan Museum of Art (1913) or Picasso Lithographe, a four-volume set of stunning Picassos from 1919 to 1947 that is listed for $ 4,000. Let the buyer beware, this type of collecting is habit-forming.Â
