From A Self-Guided Tour of Saroyan’s San Francisco by Dori Myer "Newbegin’s, opening in 1906, was all class. It sold Grabhorn Press books as well as signed first editions of contemporary authors Ambrose Bierce and HL Mencken, both of whom influenced Saroyan (and Saroyan went on to work with the Grabhorn Press frequently). This would have been a place Saroyan frequented, even though it also attracted socialites" Today, the former site of Newbegin's is occupied by a building that includes Tiffany & Co.
