Book Soup

Lest you think that Los Angeles is devoid of culture enter Book Soup, a heady, vibrant space that looks more like an expansive personal library than a retail book store. Floor to ceiling shelves house books on every topic imaginable, but stress art, photography and film titles to accommodate the creative clientele. The store also makes it a point to carry international, university and small press titles.
