Book Soup

Really cute book shop! It's been around for a long time and has a really eclectic selection! The staff is really nice, and it's good to see a book store full of people who like books .

Book Soup is an iconic part of the Sunset Strip landscape. Its towering, floor-to-ceiling bookshelves and a selection that is especially strong on art and film books attracts an industry clientele. Read more

Book Soup's magazine stand is so massive that it has to be kept outdoors. The impressive variety includes more publications in French than many stands have in total — & 14 different editions of Vogue! Read more

See? This place is proof that people in Southern California indeed *can* read! In all seriousness, cool bookstore with interesting staff recommendations. Think LA’s answer to Powell’s or the Strand.

This book store is extraordinary. I should've been working there, instead of... Yeah, whatever. The books are awesome. That's what matters.

Lots of great books , but don't ask the cashier where you can recharge your kindle; she may curse you out and summon Cthulu to harvest your soul and stuff.

CA (Shop) One of LA's best bookstores and just a brisk walk from The Standard, Hollywood! Check out their calendar for author events - they always throw the most interesting book signings!

Small bookstore with a great selection of music books and photography/art books . which I love.

One of the best bookstores left around, and intimate . Great place to attend a reading or author appearance.
