bookstores are wonderful places, and independent book stores are even more so! the east bay has plenty of great indie bookstores.
my four fave books stores in the East Bay are:
1. A Great Good Place For Books, 6120 La Salle Avenue, Montclair District.
when i first walked in, i was greeted by the owner. she was one of those people that was helpful without being pushy. she asked about my lit preferences, and was able to recommend some great titles that i hadn't read based on who i liked. she is also one of the people working on "West Coast Live" (a public radio program), so she gets great authors coming through the area to read there.
2. Pegasus/Pendragon Books:
(3 East Bay Locations)-
2349 Shattuck Avenue, (Berkeley, Downtown)
5560 College Avenue, (Oakland, Rockridge)
1855 Solano Avenue, (Albany, Solano Stroll)
i love this independent mini-chain for several reasons: knowledgable staff, excellent recommendations, cheap book tables (great gift store!), and their annial calendar sale. (wait til Jan 1st to get the new year's calendar & you'll save save save! it's an east bay tradition to shop for calendars on Jan 1st here!)
3.
5433 College Avenue, Oakland (Rockridge)
the sections are comprehensive, the recommendations superb, and the store is spacious. i have seen so many great authors pass through here on their tours- Sherman Alexie was a fave.
