BATON ROUGE - The owner of Cottonwood Books, a locally-owned bookstore that closed in 2022, has died.
Danny Plaisance was 68 when he died Tuesday morning after a hard-fought battle with Parkinson's disease. Plaisance owned and ran Cottonwood Books since its opening in 1986.
The store was an oasis for the Baton Rouge community, serving as a hub for vintage book collectors and avid readers alike before it closed in 2022.
