I bought it used on Amazon, and just recieved it yesterday. It is a must have book if you are into architecture, specifically of Restaurants of yesterday. There is a two page article about Biff's- Los Angeles locations. It even says all of the Biff's locations were built on corner Union Oil lots. Good luck with saving this piece of mid century history. It should be preserved, as there are no Biff's buildings left that I know of. Keeping one of each, isnt much to ask for in today's age. Keep us posted!
