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.

i saw saul williams here for the first time--brillant! its nice to see a bookstore like this among, all the borders and barnes. great selection of taschen books too (nice, inexpensive coffee books). you can get lost in here. check out their local events from time to time..they bring in some good people.
Pros: events, good selection, fun to browse
Cons: hard to reach books, tight space

Incredible selection, super friendly and extremely knowledgeable staff. Not to mention the many, many in-store appearances by famous authors and celebrities. It's a bit pricey, but if that's the cost for the selection and service they provide - so be it. Highly highly .
Pros: Selection, Service, Selection
Cons: Street parking only

Great selection and atmosphere. Aisles invite browsing, and broad range of books that are off the beaten path. Staff is friendly and somewhat helpful. Biography, movie and art sections are extensive. Parking off Sunset difficult.
Pros: Atmosphere, Selection
Cons: Parking

This is a great bookstore, with eclectic titles and a helpful, knowledgeable staff. While obviously lacking the comprehensive selection of Borders and Barnes & Noble's, they nonetheless manage to stock a large quantity of interesting items. Not your typical Sunset business.
