Editorial Review for Books Inc. – by Kim Cooper

In Short
If you like Barnes & Noble's range, but would rather patronize an independent business, Books Inc. is for you. It boasts a solid general-interest collection, with strong holdings in fiction, travel (including local trail maps), health, fine art and design, spirituality, science-fiction and gay and lesbian literature and non-fiction. Near the front counter, choose from quality hardcover remainders ($2 to $8) or the finalists from the most recent Lambda Literary Awards.

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

Busy, crowded neighborhood bookstore serving the Castro with gay-friendly publications and events, and quite a bit more.  See the full editorial review.
