UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO ACQUIRE, WEST HOLLYWOOD'S LANDMARK INDEPENDENT BOOKSELLER TO THE STARS!!!
Book Soup is an independent bookstore located at 8818 Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood, California, the largest general interest independent bookstore in Hollywood, and possibly one of the most famous remaining independent bookstores in the nation. Book Soup known for its tall, teetering stacks and mazes of shelves crammed with titles that continuously attract entertainment and design-related as well as tourist industry customer base. Popular with many in the entertainment and allied industry professionals, the store hosts a number of almost daily events featuring personal appearances by well-known and celebrity authors. Book Soup has also been featured as a location in a number of films and television episodes. The store carries mostly books plus a very nice mix of non-book products as well--greeting cards, calendars, maps, Filofax, Moleskin products, blank journals, CD's and DVDs, etc. The adjacent outdoor newsstand, News Mews, also features extensive and eclectic selection of national and international magazines, newspapers and other periodicals sold under a separate lease. Due to its comprehensive selection of reading matter, News Mews has a devoted customer base that draws from all over the Los Angeles area.
The business is healthy and viable because of a number of factors not least of which is Book Soup's loyal, well-trained, dedicated and ever-helpful staff, and its vital author event program, which is one of the best in the country. These events keep the store in the public eye, garner publicity, and help elevate the store's profile within Los Angeles as well as the greater bookselling/publishing community. Book Soup has both a national and an international reputation and is considered to be one the premier independent bookstores in the country.
