Once upon a time in Hollywood, back in the 1960s, there was a bookstore on Hollywood Boulevard (there were actually lots of bookstores on the Boulevard then). The owners of that bookstore decided they should specialize; Git Luboviski (later Polin) created a catalogue and Hollywood merchandise proved quite popular. The timing was right. A golden age of cinema scholarship and appreciation was about to begin, and the Larry Edmunds Bookshop was right in the middle of it all.
Once upon a time there was a young writer with aspirations who became a regular at this book store and friends with the proprietors Git and Mel Luboviski. His encyclopedic knowledge and exacting study of cinema was incredible, and the Larry Edmunds Bookshop became a friendly confine. His name was Peter Bogdanovich.
For many years during the TCM Classic Film Festival, I have chosen to host Sunday morning events to offer the fans a unique experience and bring them close to the stars they love. Well, since the festival is virtual this year, my event will be as well.
You are cordially invited to join me virtually (on my birthday) Sunday, May 9 at 12:30 pm PT for a special conversation with the one and only Peter Bogdanovich! He will share his memories of the Larry Edmunds Bookshop along with his unique contributions not only as an amazing director, but also as a storyteller, historian, and teacher of the history of cinema.
I'm celebrating my 30th anniversary here, and I cannot think of a better way to honor the extraordinary legacy of the Larry Edmunds Bookshop than by looking back on its Hollywood history by someone who knows it well.
Tickets are $5 - register on Zoom. We hope you can join us!
A limited number of autographed paperback copies of Who the Hell's In it: Conversations with Hollywood's Legendary Actors and Peter Bogdanovich's Movie of the Week will be made available as a fundraiser for Larry Edmunds Bookshop.

Universally enjoyable: Some players even point out that Slope is exciting for a variety of gamers, from casual players to those who enjoy skill and reflex testing, despite its simplicity.
The gameplay in Slope Rider is built around momentum and survival. Players must steer carefully while moving at increasing speeds, avoiding hazards that can end a run instantly.
It was critically acclaimed, earning 8 Among Us Academy Award nominations and preserving a significant place in classic American cinema.
I thought I was a Clash Royale veteran… until Royaledle described a card as ‘a hot-headed duo.’ I guessed EVERYTHING except Fire Spirits.
What a fascinating piece about the Larry Edmunds Bookshop and its connection to Peter Bogdanovich — such a classic slice of Hollywood history! It reminds me how communities form around shared passions, whether that’s cinema or creativity.
If you enjoy interactive and creative experiences, you might also like Skribbl io — an online drawing and guessing game where players from all over the world connect through imagination and fun. It’s a modern twist on the same community spirit that once thrived in places like Larry Edmunds’ bookshop.
