A couple of weeks ago there was an interesting article on the somewhat obscure leading man Lyle Talbot
in the New Yorker Magazine (Oct. 1, 2012).
Pickwick Book Store is mentioned in the article as one of Mr. Talbot's favorite hangouts in Hollywood.
I was able to find a few photos on an old cd of mine.
