Because of the entertainment industry, the Los Angeles branch of this venerable play publisher has a special flavor. This is where actors come to find audition material; you'll see them huddled in the aisles reading lines. When you step inside, you'll immediately feel like you're part of the industry. Producers, writers, directors, and students in search of reference material add to the mix. The overflowing stacks offer an extensive range of publications about movies and musical scores, in addition to theater. This includes published screenplays and specialty books on the making of popular movies, as well as every guide imaginable on writing, producing, and conquering Hollywood.
