Editorial Review for Book Soup – by Lowell Goodman
In Short
From art and literature to travel, this unpretentious indie store is an inviting spot for the general-interest reader. Owner Glenn Goldman is choosy about his employees, even including essay questions on the job applications, so the staff's more than qualified to make recommendations. Given its Sunset Strip location, it's no surprise that certain subjects, such as entertainment and gay studies, are particularly strong.

They get some great authors in there for book signings. Eclectic selection of material, worth a look.

I got off work early one day, so I decided to check out this little bookshop across the street, and I fell in love with the place. Other chain bookstores I have been to that have a rather sterile and commercial feel, but BookSoup still maintains a cozy, neighborhood book-store environment. When I walk into the store, I feel like I've just been engulfed in a sea of books as shelves of books are towering over me. Perusing through the shelves, I see that there are many recommendations and comments by the staff, which I think are pretty helpful.
