I like Books Inc fine, but my favorite part of the store is actually the used book annex next door. They have a surprisingly large art & architecture collection (sort of my litmus test for a used book store). And the people behind the counter are fittingly gruff and knowledgeable--I always like a little guff with my used books, as if the sales staff is none too happy to see the book leave!
Great place to hang out for a coffee at anytime of the day or night. Open to 11pm every night. Always find lots of students studying there. The food is great too - light and healthy.
