I met Bruce Campbell here.

All I could do was giggle like a schoolgirl in his awe-inspiring presence. What a cool guy. What a cool bookstore.

Why I recommend this place to visitors

I have always loved Book People, and I’ve always wanted to get a job there. I believe it is the largest local bookstore in Texas. I love reading about the birth of Book People in the Cafe where they have an oversized comic strip explaining how it came about.
I will miss it when I move, but of course there will always be Book People online. I just went there the other day to buy a Fahter’s Day gift. I bought him a book and some bacon shaped band-aides. They’ve always got the coolest funniest gifts there.

A review of this place: Dumb.

I’m not really a Book People fan. The place is pretty expensive, and when Alton Brown came to do a book signing they weren’t admitting you unless you bought a book (the books were $40+). I would have given in and bought a book, but my friend already had one of his books and they still wouldn’t admit her unless she bought another one. I thought that was bullshit, so we left.

Highly Recommend

I love this place. I love it because it isnt just books here.. you find all kind of things filling up the spaces in between. Jewelry,scarves,tshirts,statues…you name it really. This is a place i could go for hours. hell if i could move in and never leave i would be happy and content.

This is certainly the best Independent Bookstore in the USA. I’ve been to City Lights in San Francisco, and it can’t really even compete.
