Larry Edmunds Bookstore


Location: 1555 Vine St #527s



A mecca for film aficionados, the Larry Edmunds Bookshop has long educated lovers of entertainment through its large selection of books, scripts, posters, and photos along with events that feature the most talented authors of Hollywood history. Probably the first true film book store, Larry Edmunds has survived the ups and downs of book publishing for more than 75 years while serving the needs of cineastes

In the early years, the store focused mainly on literature, particularly obscure and edgy works requested by studio executives, writers, and directors. Todd McCarthy, in his March 27, 1982, Daily Variety column, stated that the Larry Edmunds Bookshop sold rare editions to writers such as William Faulkner. That often meant bringing books like the European version of Ulysses in brown paper bags to clients dining (and drinking) at the Musso and Frank Grill, which was something like the Hollywood version of the Algonquin Round Table.
