Best of the best

Brazo's Bookstore is THE place in Houston for "book" people. The store stocks independent publishers that I can find no where else. The staff are all people who share the customers interests in fine literature. This is also THE place find book events where you can meet the author, meet other like minded people and find autographs. Wonderful store

• Pros: A place for book people

My Favorite Bookstore

by skeptical at Citysearch

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 real bookstore

by biggianted at Citysearch

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.

• Pros: selection, customer service, reading series
• Cons: Limited parking
