A BARTable guide to shop for the bookworms on your holiday list

While there’s no shortage of iPads, Kindles, or whatever digital library is the latest pick for modern ease, we still stand by the look, feel, smell, and romance of words on paper. And there’s nothing like savoring a storyline (real or fiction) that keeps you diving back into dog-eared and yellowed pages increasingly worn because you can’t keep your hands off ‘em. Feed your reading addiction with the help of the Bay Area’s beloved independent bookstores within walking distance from BART. Here are seven stellar spots to find your next soon-to-be-bent-out-of-shape book. What book might that be? We’ve also included some recommended reads to help you navigate the shelves during your holiday shopping. Get the scoop on these and other transit-friendly destinations on our BARTable website.
