If you don't know who bought Book Soup in WeHo, you do now: Vroman's. Pasadena's very own oldest indie bookstore, over 150 years old.
They offer educators a wee discount on materials used in classrooms. Their book signing series is outstanding. And the staff... Absurdly brilliant. From the knowledgeable Fountain pen Heads who know their inks and bobs down pat, to the informative staff - I mean, I don't know when I last had a conversation that was worthy of a college level course on 13th century middle East philosophy and the humanities. On HIS lunch break. Who does that???? Unless they genuinely love where they work, n'est-ce-pas? Hail to the Holy Grale that is Vroman's. Order a cup of Joe from Jones Coffee Roasters while there. And if you need to find a gift, look no further. Their pet-related miscellany, their stationery, and their mugs! Too perfectly curated. L'Chaim!
