There are also a few used bookstores along Solano Avenue, in Albany (just a bit north of Berkeley) that might be worth a visit. (Solano also features some really good restaurants and some other interesting shops.)

I really miss living in the Bay Area….

We visited Saint Augustine and did all the touristy stuff. While on the 'Red Train' sightseeing tour we stopped at the Zorayda Castle, across from Flagler College ... and there was this great independent bookstore!<br /> Anastasia Books is a bright and airy store which we feel in love with. My husband's favorite genre is SciFi and Anastasia has a separate room dedicated to fantasy and scifi. He purchased two pb that he could not find here at home. </p> <p><a href="http://anastasiabooks.com/" rel="nofollow">Anastasia Books</a>, 81C King Street, St. Augustine, FL</p> I was recently on vacation in Florida, my old home state.

I make it a point to stop by for a few hours any time that I'm visiting the area. It's always been an amazing book store to browse through. I’ll second the Tattered Cover in Denver.
