If you love movies, and if you love reading about the movies - then you will love Larry Edmunds bookshop in Hollywood. Opened in 1938, it is a longtime Mecca for film buffs, film historians, writers, collectors, celebrities and just about anyone with an interest in film. Louise Brooks was living in Los Angeles when the store first opened. I wonder if she visited it before she left town. Chances are....
Like other small businesses closed since the emergence of the coronavirus pandemic, Larry Edmunds is having a hard time generating business. They still have plenty of books to sell (as well as film stills, memorabilia, old magazines, etc....), and they are still accepting mail order. And what's more, they have autographed copies of three of my books for sale - Louise Brooks, the Persistent Star, Beggars of Life: A Companion to the 1928 Film, and Now We're in the Air: A Companion to the Once "Lost" Film. Why not place an order for those titles of some other film title you have been wanting to read.
Larry Edmunds bookshop if filled with all kinds of great stuff - and every-time I venture to Los Angeles, I make a point of dropping by to see what's new. This large store carries both new and old film books, so you will never know what they have without asking. It is time to dig out that list you have been keeping, and it is time to catch up on your Scott Eyman books and your Karie Bible books and even your Thomas Gladysz books.
Larry Edmunds bookshop hosts lots of events, not only with film historians but also with local authors otherwise known as celebrity actors and actresses! The store helped set up my recent booksigning at the Egyptian theater, and that's how they came to have some extra autographed books. So you never know what they might have under the heading of collectibles.... Their website is located HERE. And their Facebook page is located HERE. Contact them today!
