Volumes of Pleasure

Volumes of Pleasure is a Studio City institution on Ventura Boulevard, serving the San Fernando Valley's creative community with a warmth and expertise that has kept customers loyal for decades. The store's proximity to the major studios means that its screenwriting section is one of the best in Los Angeles, stocked with craft manuals, script collections, and industry guides that working professionals actually use. The celebrity memoir section is naturally robust, and the staff's discretion regarding their famous customers is legendary. The literary fiction collection is curated with genuine care, offering a counterbalance to the industry-focused sections with titles that remind entertainment professionals why they fell in love with storytelling in the first place. The cooking section serves the Valley's food-loving population, while the self-help shelves meet the wellness needs of a high-pressure creative community. The store's friendly, unpretentious atmosphere stands in welcome contrast to the industry hustle outside its doors, and the personal recommendations from staff who have been there for years carry the weight of trusted friends.
