Who Is LA's Hottest Book Store Employee?

Hey you behind the Self Help stack! Take your hair out of that bun, whip those reading glasses off -- someone's looking for you. Former LAist editor Adrienne Crew, the LA Brain Terrain blogger and blog book author, announced yesterday that she will find the hottest bookstore employee in town.

Will it be you, Book Soup guy? How about you Dutton's babe?

Countless good-looking actors and models populate the service industries of Los Angeles. Handsome waiters serve your dinner while awaiting their big break on TV. Tattooed music store clerks tolerate patrons in between recording gigs.

Until now, no one has measured the pulchritude of the area's book store staff. While the ignorant continue to stereotype our city as uninterested in lit matters, beautiful and brainy bookstore clerks only increase sales in our metropolis. This explains why Southern California is the nation's largest book-buying market.

To nominate yourself or someone else, just head on over to LA Brain Terrian and do what's asked of you. Nominations close March 16. The winner will be announced that Monday and he or she will get a delicious cupcake from Sprinkles in Beverly Hills... and a their photo on LAist.
