#60 Skylight Books | Marc Fitten's Indie 100
https://indie100mfitten.wordpress.com/2009/09/29/60-skylight-books
Marc Fitten's Indie 100. A Look At 100 Bookstores Across America. 1818 N Vermont Ave. Los Angeles, California 90027. This is a great store in Los Feliz, an East L.A. neighborhood near Griffith Park. It’s a hipster neighborhood with a lot of foot traffic, and it’s the kind of store that you can immediately tell is thriving. Again, I feel like I really sold L.A. and Southern California short. There are great bookstores here. I hate being effusive, but I’ m really enjoying myself! To TrackBack this entry is:.

#61 Vroman’s Bookstore | Marc Fitten's Indie 100
https://indie100mfitten.wordpress.com/2009/09/29/61-vromans-bookstore
Marc Fitten's Indie 100. A Look At 100 Bookstores Across America. 61 Vroman’s Bookstore. 695 E Colorado Blvd. Pasadena, CA 91101. This is the largest and oldest bookstore in Southern California, and by largest I mean nearly Powell’s large, and by oldest I mean it opened its doors in 1894. The folks at Skylight Books in L.A. turned me on to it. In fact, they insisted I drive the thirty minutes to Pasadena. 30,000 square feet. Three locations in Pasadena. You know, I think this is a store that illustrates ...

Marc Fitten's Indie 100. A Look At 100 Bookstores Across America. 35 Square One Books. 4724 42nd Ave SW. Seattle, WA 98116. This all-new bookstore in West Seattle is ten minutes from Downtown. It’s been around for 22 years and has been voted West Seattle’s best bookstore. It’s in a strip-mall, but the location is great and there are a lot of people walking around.

Marc Fitten's Indie 100. A Look At 100 Bookstores Across America. THE HENRY MILLER LIBRARY! The Henry Miller Library. Big Sur, US 1. I figured I’d make it my West Coast pit stop. When I visited and discovered that it’s also a curated book store, I figured I’d add it as #58. Besides the book store, this two-acre spread features film festivals, weekly open-mic nights, concerts, and can be rented out for weddings. On September 6, 2009 at 11:02 pm Comments (1).

Marc Fitten's Indie 100. A Look At 100 Bookstores Across America. Portland, OR 97232. I made it to Portland and found this very pleasant bookstore on the indiebound store locater. Then I rented a bike and rode over. It was a great way to see the neighborhood. NE Broadway is a busy street with restaurants, cafes, supermarkets. There’s car traffic and foot traffic. It’s a great place to have a bookstore. If you need it, they have it, or can get it. The store is great and a great alternative to #40, if ...

I drove from San Diego to Tempe to visit Changing Hands because I’d been invited to read there and also because people kept telling me it’s one of those bookstores that can’t be missed.

https://indie100mfitten.wordpress.com/2009/12/14/62-warwicks
Marc Fitten's Indie 100. A Look At 100 Bookstores Across America. La Jolla, CA 92037-4287. Twenty minutes from San Diego is a great seaside town called La Jolla. And downtown on the main strip, in the middle of everything, is Warwick’s — a store for books, stationery, gifts, and office supplies. This is a family owned store — four generations in the making. Like Vroman’s it is a store that opened in the nineteenth century. On December 14, 2009 at 9:20 pm Leave a Comment. To TrackBack this entry is:.

Marc Fitten's Indie 100. A Look At 100 Bookstores Across America. 65 Kramerbooks and Afterwords Cafe. Kramerbooks and Afterwords Cafe. 1517 Conn. Ave. I’m standing inside Kramerbooks for five minutes when my high school English teacher walks in, and it seems like the most natural thing in the world. She’s in town. I’m in town. Where do bookish types end up? I could go on, but their website. Has a promotional video and the menu. On January 24, 2010 at 11:10 am Comments (2). To TrackBack this entry is:.
