I recently went to this bookstore for an author signing event (Chuck Palahniuk, my hero!), and spent over an hour just taking in the wonderful atmosphere of this store. This is definitely a place for book lovers, and not just a store aimed towards people who are looking to buy the latest tabloid or fad diet book. This place really has character!
The Booksmith has a great selection of books (from every genre) to choose from. I was thoroughly impressed with their huge wall section of literary "magazines". They have a downstairs area filled with videos to rent and used books to browse through. There's also a really cool gift section where you can buy something unique for yourself or for a friend. Lots of greeting cards, as well.
I was extremely impressed with this little bookstore, and will definitely be returning. They have great events, with many famous authors, which is a definite plus. You can even bring your dog in with you! I highly recommend this place.
