Pendragon is one of my local book haunts and rarely disappoints. It's a rather small shop with both new and used titles, but always seem to have something that I can't live without. I recently...

Decent used book store, seems a bit smaller than the one in Berkeley. Decent fiction and history sections although not as much variety as some of the other stores in the area.

The skinny:I bought new and used books every time I visit here (3 times so far). They do their job well. I think a used bookstore compliments any 'hood.

Being close to a literary melt down,since finding out that my subscription copy of The Three Peeny Review had been inadvetantly doomed to the depth of the recycling abyss, I called the Coolege Ave. store. The person responding was utterly helpful, and I will be picking up a copy of the aforementioned, which is being sent over from the Shattuck store tomorrow. I am delighted.
