Best Independent Bookstore

BookPeople

Once again, the son of Grok affirms its special place in the hearts and literate minds of Austinites. In an era of ever-widening corporate jaws, BookPeople manages not only to survive but to thrive. Around for 30 years, this independent store has moved a number of times, growing to fit its current three-story location on Lamar and offering the convenience of a chain store in breadth of selection. But that's where the similarity ends: For three decades, BookPeople has remained fiercely independent.
