I was raised on "The September Issue," back when it was so heavy you had to hold it with both arms, like a pre-med text book; I believe GQ has the best writers; I have a certain affinity for AD, since my old man built all of our houses up in PDX. And I have always gotten my elitist history from Vanity Fair...where else can you read about The Agnelli Family's scandals! Condé Nast isn't what it once was, sadly, but I still love to pursue the fun covers. As a former journalist, something about print, pour moi, will never be dead. I recently needed a copy of Japan Vogue for the kid's Saturn Return celebration, but none of the out-of-stock Kinokuniya bookshops had it (nor would they reply to my email inquiries *annoyed emoji*); however, the fabulous Paul had it brought over from his magical warehouse in a couple of hours. Brilliant. I'm telling you, kids, this stand and its people are LA gems!

Super cool newspaper stand with all the latest and greatest prints…read more From all the magazines (Vanity Fair, Auto Inc, The Advocate, GQ, Time, Fader, TV Insider) to the Daily Planet... Well the local LA Times and The San Fernando Valley Sun that is and even city happenings. You need it? They've most likely got it! Located outside the CVS on the South West corner of Ventura Blvd and Laurel Canyon. There's metered parking as well as shared lot parking for CVS and neighboring businesses directly off Laurel Canyon. Open daily as early 7am to as late as 7pm during the week, with extended hours on Saturdays and reduced hours on holidays like the 4th. The prices are very reasonable and as one of the last seven stands in Greater LA, Laurel Canyon News is definitely the way. Definitely support your local newspaper & magazine stands!

Every week they send out a stack of local news and I dispose it directly to the recycling bin. Why? Cause I don't care for the school pictures, the middle school dances and the endless ads. All these news can be found online. Stop killing trees, wasting inks and wasting manpower! Phone answering was professional but seriously annoying that it takes 6-8weeks to stop this unwanted service. Sadly, because of their slow action more wasteful resources to come.

I had to work late and missed my night of telenoveles. BUT WAIT! You and I no longer need to worry. Soto St. Magazine stand carries all the latest news on the telenoveles.

They carry lots of Spanish magazines. Bullfighter Illustrated, H, Playboy, Better Homes and Agave, Rick Bayless unleashed... Okay they don't have that one. Rick Bayless is annoying. But they do have some written in english also for those that don't speak español. They have all the latest trade rumors for Liga/Primera Divisíon De la Federcíon de Mexicana de la fútbol. They have everything! Salma Hayek, aforementioned Maite Perroni, Maria Elisa Carmargo, Blanca Soto... Anyways... Oh, and they have a TV set and always a couple people milling about gossiping. I have no clue what they are saying but it makes me laugh.

If you read Spanish these will give you a much broader perspective on the world. Soto Street also sells Mexican newspapers La Reforma (middle of the road) and Excelsior (right leaning). And of course they also carry People en Español, Vanidades, Telenovelas, and best of all, Spanish language graphic paperback novels.

The cheapest one didn't answer the phone and was forwarded to another number. The local one was more costly and I needed to place my order in person - in Belmont shore - good luck with parking. I emailed in advance my proper paperwork and a simple follow up phone call took care of payment and all my questions and concerns. I saved both time and money. I call that a win-win. My "only" regret was that I didn't know about their services earlier - as it would have saved my going to the recorders building in Norwalk.

Used, re-shrink-wrapped books on sale for more than the cover price. And my personal favorite -- headshots of random failed actors. Some of these go for an unfathomable $10. My friend asked if these prices were in Yen, at which point the cranky owner picked up his phone and started screaming "Security!" Hilarious! We walked out of the store laughing hysterically. They advertise that they sell mushrooms and Salvia, but I'm pretty sure this place has to be a cover for something non-legal that goes on in the back. It's the only explanation why dirty, used kitchen appliances sell for twice the price of a new one. There aren't enough martini's on the Boulevard to get someone drunk enough to actually buy anything here. This place is best enjoyed in the midst of a bar crawl or Sunday Funday. Have a few, come here and laugh your ass off. Just don't touch anything -- the owners will scream at you and then call security. On second thought, touch everything you see. It only adds to the hilarity!
