Hello! I'm currently studying philosophy at a little liberal arts college in the US. Since the philosophy department is so tiny, there isn't really a specialization in Existential philosophy which I am really interested in. Do you know any good books that are good introduction to the topic?

The best introduction I’ve read is Jean-Paul Sartre’s Existentialism and Humanism (online PDF). It’s a lecture he gave which means it’s written in a simple and accessible way and it’s a primary text as Sartre was a figurehead of the Existentialist movement. Otherwise there is a Very Short Introduction on Existentialism, I’ve not read it but they tend to be good.
