The former Form Zero bookstore has reopened on the Miracle Mile as Art Haus Books. They are in one of those Wilshire Boulevard buildings with a past. It was designed by Stiles O. Clements, architect for the aqua-green tower above the Wiltern Theater and dozens of other Wilshire buildings, as an Arthur Murray dance studio. It also had been the home studios of KMET, the famous but long departed "Mighty Met" that was at 94.7 FM. Art Haus is at 5828 Wilshire and specializes in architecture, design and the arts.
