Brooks Street Books

Brooks Street Books is an independent publisher based in Laguna Beach, offering art and gift books with a regional focus. Founder Sarah Koops Vanderveen says, “At Brooks Street Books, we are inspired by the natural beauty of our community, and by the creativity of the many artists and writers who live and work here. As we expand our offerings and broaden the scope of the works that we publish, we remain committed to the idea that places have power, and there’s poetry to be found even in the daily details of life. To paraphrase Rumi, Beauty surrounds us; but we usually need to be walking in a garden (or on a beach!) to know it.”
