Stacey's is the best of both worlds - it gives me that warm, fuzzy, slightly-giddy feeling I get when I walk into a Borders AND I know that when I make a purchase there my money isn't going into the belly of some corporate beast. Plus they have a running slate of interesting authors and speakers that visit and present on a regular basis. Their history and current events sections rock and my boy says they have the best mystery section of any generalist bookstore in the city. I"ll have to take his word for it, but I don't doubt it. Stacey's is the best.
