More to come in '07
USA Today lists what it considers to be the top nine "destination" bookstores in the US. I've visited four of these (the ones in bold), but the article has one major flaw - the absence of our own Book People from the list.
The stores mentioned are:
Books & Books (Coral Gables, FL.)
City Light Books (San Francisco, CA.)
Elliot Bay Book Co. (Seattle. WA.)
Politics & Prose (Washington DC)
Powell's City of Books (Portland, OR)
Prairie Lights (Iowa City)
Tattered Cover (Denver CO.)
That Bookstore in Blytheville (Blytheville, AR)
The Strand (New York, NY.)

What did you think of the ones you've been to? I loved the Strand but beyond respecting its history, I honestly didn't see what the big deal was about City Lights.
