Hey all,

It would be a huge help if you could tell me who the best independent bookstores in your city are?

Thanks in advance.

cosmopolitan bookshop on melrose avenue in hollywood, right around the corner from pink's hot dogs

there's a book store in the castro staffed by a rude hippie. i'm at a loss for the name right now, but they had some really rare books including a 1937 printing of T.E. Lawrence's Seven Pillars.
