[Noisebridge-discuss] controversial book stores?

[Mitch Altman]

While the rest of the country is reading less and less (and so many people who do read are doing so electronically), with hardly any independent bookstores remaining in most cities (and even Borders just filed for Chapter 11), it's really great to live in a place where there are so many cool bookstores.

Also worth checking out Modern Times on 20th & Valencia, which is right near Dog-eared Books and the wonderful Borderlands.  Forest Books and uhh some other super-hip establishment on 16th between Valencia and Guerrero, Aardvark on Market and Church.


This town is filled with socially conscious bookstores.

Oh, yeah, and there's also AK Press, a publisher of "anarchist and radical" books (as quoted from their website.  They have lots of very interesting, and often controversial books.  They used to be in SF, but got squeezed out to Oakland during the dot.com invasion, just before the dot.bomb repelled the invaders.

One not-very-well known, but way worthwhile bookstore is on the same block as Noisebridge:  Bolerium Books.
Check out this photo:

And here is their website:

2141 Mission St., 3rd floor.
 
In this same building are three other bookstores:  Libros Latinos (the title says it all), Meyer Books (specializing in antiquarian law books (!) ), and Valhalla Books (new, used, and rare books).
