BOOKSELLER TO THE GREAT AND INFAMOUS

Book Soup is located on the world-famous Sunset Strip in West Hollywood, California. Founded by Glenn Goldman as "Bookseller to the Great and Infamous," the store has been serving readers, writers, artists, rock 'n' rollers, and celebrities since 1975.

Guarded over by two golden dogs, Book Soup has 60,000+ titles, specializing in art, film, photography, music, and literary fiction. We have a deep commitment to university, international, and small presses, and maintain an array of exclusive autographed books. Customers are delighted by the rare gems they discover on our shelves.

Known for our floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, high-profile author readings, limited-edition books, vinyl records, and celebrity clientele, Book Soup is an essential stop on any tour of Los Angeles. Our booksellers are here every day to recommend your next book, pick out a gift, or just talk lit with you.
