Very COOL and laid back book store and meeting place, with a small but good variety of books regarding an interesting ideology/movement of a perspective of hope of a better future. They have self make and self serve tea and coffee. One could easily spend a couple of hours conversing with other clientele and volunteer staff, who are exceptionally awesome, leaving better enlightened.
I've never had to ask for help from the staff, so I can't speak to that. It's a bookstore; most who enter are generally familiar with how it works.
The good: solid selection
The bad: watch your head walking if, if ye be tall.
Skylights is a great bookstore to duck into. They have a surprisingly good selection for their limited space, and especially a wonderful--and one of the largest--selections of literary magazines and zines I've ever seen.
A unique bookstore that has a good selection of what I would describe as "activist literature." Picked up a couple good reads, and I plan to show more of my friends about it in the future. Also I hope to attend one of the many events they have coming up that are all great community outreach events.
Plus, their staff recommendations are spot on. I've found a wonderful book or two as a result.The aisles are pretty narrow, so be prepared to bump into some other patrons, but you never know, you might meet a cute fellow book-reader to go take out to coffee or some other meet-cute scenario. Own it.
A great place to get tapped into Austin activism and pick up some cool zines.
This is my little piece of heaven, and I'm glad i found it in Austin, TX . There's a great selection of books, both popular and obscure. I love the narrow hallway that is lined with books right at the top of the staircase. The bottom floor feels like a library, with its respected silence. People were sitting around, deeply engrossed in the books they were reading. I definitely recommend this place to all bibliophiles.
