Editorial Review for Forest Books – by Kim Cooper

In Short
By only purchasing books that were exceptionally well cared for by their previous owners, Forest Books provides an economical alternative to new books. Particularly strong are the selections in Eastern religion and Asian cultures, foreign literature in English translation, natural history, drama, women's studies, highbrow fiction and literary biography. At the front, don't miss the interesting collection of Beat and hippie-era small press chapbooks and poetry, including some scarce early publications from City Lights and New Directions presses.

Editorial content is independent of paid advertisers. Any expenses are paid for by Citysearch.
