Smith BlarneyOttobre 3, 2010Just swim in the incredible selection, fantastic feel & history, be sure to have a drink at Vesuvio's next door & read yr new book
Amazing literature in translation section. One of the best I have seen in the US.
Matthew GidleyOttobre 25, 2010City Lights isn't so much 'stocked' as 'curated'. For its size this has to be the best independent bookshop in the world. When you're finished buying go next door to Vesuvio and get drunk.
