Skylight Books

Amazing selection of graphic novels and literary magazines. Allergic to cats, but Frannie 's still wonderful.

Great independent bookstore . Pus they have a cute cat roaming around.

This building housed Chatterton's Bookshop . It was known for poetry and independent publications. Poets such as Billy Collins and Allen Ginsberg frequented and read here until it closed in 1994.

Breathe in the delightful bookstore aroma.... loved it!

There's a tree right in the middle of the store, under a parallelogram of glass. What I wouldn't give to level it with my axe! But when I tried, they threw me out. Phooey.

The annex next it has awesome art books . Also take time to browse books by local authors.

Great Collection !

Best bookstore in the city !

Best window displays in town !

Well edited bookstore by people who take it seriously.

The store mascot, Franny the cat, is so cute !

An interesting selection of political theory, gender and literary criticism.

A lot of the books here contain the same exact words, just in different orders but I guess that's true for many book stores these days.

Skylight reminds Airborne Toxic Event 's Mikel Jollett of his old college haunt, City Lights bookstore in San Francisco. “I used to peruse the fiction aisles and dream of being in them one day.”

I love stopping and staring at the window displays . Whoever does them is some kind of artist and makes the street a little better and brighter.
