What a joy to find a bookstore owned and staffed by knowledgable book lovers. Brazos Bookstore is the place in Houston to meet famous authors and discuss fine books. The New York Times called Brazos "Houston's premier literary marketplace - a Mecca for touring authors since 1974." And the surroundings are so comfortable - an island of serenity in a chaotic world. For these reasons and more, Brazos is my favorite bookstore.

A Houston treasure. The readings, the culture, the knowledge and the passion make visiting and buying a unique experience.

Looking for a good book? Looking for a bookseller who knows the subject matter, the title and the author (personally)? Brazos Book Store is the best book store in the city. If you want an expensive cup of coffee, or a plastic wrapped danish, or to read Teen Vogue magazine, go to some big chain. If you need a recommendation or a specific literary title, have an interest in the humanities, or want to hear an internationally acclaimed author read his/her work, go see Carl at Brazos.

If you want stuff that Borders cannot deliver and employees who actually enjoy reading enough to work there versus working there just for the paycheck, this is your place. They have many hard to find titles, and if they do not have it, they will order it for you. Their prices are still fairly competitive. Although they won't beat the chain stores in price, the service more than makes up for it.

Looking for a particular book? Well, this is the place you might find it. They have huge collection of different book. Also, the place is clean and not dusty as some other place.

Employees are very courteous and helpfull. They helped me findout out the perfect gift for my father. He was really happy of the choice they made! Thank you.

I recommend you go there!

PROS: Huge book collection, nice employee.
CONS:
