This purveyor of both new and used books has gained a reputation around the Bay Area as a prime spot to search the shelves, relax in a corner and hear authors from all walks of life (from minor poets to national literary figures). It hosts readings and carries smaller journals, zines, magazines, chapbooks and the best of the small presses. It publishes small chapbooks and does broadsides for local poets that are available for purchase. The space is bright and open, so there is plenty of room to move. It features a very well stocked art and rare book section.
