Subject: Dallas/Ft. Worth TX

Aldredge (on Maple Ave just north of the Crescent).   Tends somewhat toward
	the pricier wares of an "antiquarian" book dealer, but *also* has a
	good selection of not-as-expensive used books.
Barber's (Fort Worth).  "It's been there forever. You'll have to step over
	piles of books, be careful not to knock stacks over, etc., but it's
	great fun.  Lots of used books."  "Seconded.  At least one of the
	rooms has a mildly dangerous property: an upstairs balcony with a
	ledge a little bit lower than it ought to be.  Don't try to step
	back while eying the merchandise on the bottom shelf...."  "Not a
	huge amount of science fiction (it's in an upstairs room), but the
	turn-of-the-century building and oddities in the store make it well
	worth seeking out.  This is in downtown Fort Worth."
Barnes & Noble (Preston and Beltline).  Another B&N superstore.  Newest of
	the four superstores (the others are Bookstop, Borders, and
	Taylor's).  "Raised my purist hackles by shelving in one section
	authors like Danielle Steele with authors like Anais Nin."
Big D Books (1516 Centerville Rd).  "*Classic* used book store.  It looks
	like a condemned building, and the inside is a maze of shelves.
	Almost no space to walk between the shelves.  There are a lot of
	books, especially SF, and the owner is very knowledgeable!  This is
	my idea of the *best used bookstore* in Dallas."  "I couldn't
	disagree more with the previous assessment.  It's not much bigger
	than a 7-11, the owner is a surly jerk and the book selection isn't
	very good."
Bookstop (5400 E Mockingbird E of Central; 820 Preston at Forest;
        Plano Parkway & Central, Plano; I-35E at 3040 in a strip mall area;
	others).  20% off for members, and the stores are large.  The have
	5+ stores in Dallas (and suburbs) and are expanding.  Not quite as
	good a selection as Taylor's, and the clerks range from good to
	(usually) illiterate.  They have a habit of removing books from the
	shelves if they don't sell, so if you see it, it's risky to wait.
	Mediocre compated to the other superstores in Dallas.  Still, there
	are lots of books, and the price is good.
Borders Books (Preston and Royal Lane, books@borders.com,
	http://borders.com).  New in Dallas.  Very good, fairly eclectic
	selection, attached CD store, and espresso bar.  It has (some)
	chairs to browse in and better staff than the Bookstops.
Constellation.  New Age books, and courses.
Half-Price Books (main store: 5915 E Northwest Hwy at Shadybrook).  The
	biggest chain of used and discounted books in Texas.  "I find their
	selection of fiction sadly lacking (especially SF).  For SF go to
	Big D Books!"  But another person says, "My favorite bookstore.  I
	love surprises and you never know what amazing things might turn up
	here."
Half-Price Books (the "Plano" on the west side of US 75, just north of the
	Campbell exit).  Along with the main store, generally has the best
	selection of technical books.  This store just expanded, and is 
	neater and better organized than it used to be.
Lone Star Comics Books and Games (11661 Preston; 1900 Preston Rd at Park,
	Plano; others).  "This is, sadly, the best SF store in the area.
	The owner has a tendency towards (1) censorship, (2) firing
	managers once they are have built up clients and experience (and
	hence are paid more), and changing the stock towards toys,
	children's playthings, and bubble-gum cards, and (3) returning
	books as soon as they fail to sell.  There is much less space for
	SF books, and only GP-rated mainstream comics now.  Still, where
	else can you go?"  "There's a lot of new science fiction at the
        Preston location (at the intersection of Preston and Forest), and
        the latest issues of Locus and other trade magazines as well.
        Good selection of comics, games and related material."
Majors Scientific (on Butler Street just off Harry Hines).  The best source
	in Dallas for technical books in biological and medical sciences.
	Their back room always has a great selection of used and remainders,
	at very cheap prices.
Mary Anne's Books (2918F Jupiter inside a flea market).  In a flea market
	and only open Thursday-Sunday.  *Good* selection of books in all
	categories, including collector's items and first editions.  Old
	magazines and comics in the back.  May be closed.
Paperbacks Plus (Gaston near Abrams in the Lakewood area).  This is a fine
	friendly bookstore which seems to be coming back to life--they are 
	back in their old location, and also have another branch about
	three blocks away.  They also still have their old store in
	Mesquite, where the stock moves slowly but the prices are low.
Rootabega Books (Snider Plaza, about 2 blocks south of Lovers and west of
	Hillcrest).  A truly fine childrens' bookstore, run by enthusiasts, 
	with a very large stock.
ProTech Books, Ltd. Replaces Taylors Bookstores.
U. S. Government Bookstore (Room IC46, Federal Building, 1100 Commerce,
	214-767-0076, FAX 214-767-3239).  "Did you know that the U.S.
	Government Printing Office (GPO) operates 24 bookstores across the
	country?  ...and that they have some of the most >ahem< unusual and
	interesting things you'll find anywhere?"

Denton:
	Recycled Books (on the town square).  A huge used bookstore with
		well-managed stock *and* generally very reasonable prices.
		They also have an active used-CD section, and a strong
		specialty section in collectible SF.  "Terrific store with
		a good science fiction stock and great employees.  Worth s
		seeking out."

Subject: Houston TX

Alabama Bookstop (2922 S Shepherd at Alabama, 713-529-2345).  A large
	branch of a growing discount chain.  Located in what used to be an
	old movie palace, it's a fairly good general bookstore, particularly
	popular non-fiction.  Fiction genres (especially SF and mystery) can
	be mediocre.  One poster says, "Elegant high-inventory store--
	well-organized and split into many categories, big science and
	computer section, broad selection of periodicals, excellent section
	on lesbian/gay/bisexual culture, good in religion/mythology/history/
	sociology, good all round.  Especially handy for picking up guide
	books for Houston and for traveling in Texas.  I was a fan of the
	'Rocky Horror Picture Show' at the Alabama Theatre, and went to all
	the anniversiary parties of the midnight showings, not to mention
	seeing such classics as ALIEN there on first release, so I was
	crushed when I heard they were converting it into a bookstore.  But
	... they did a super job.  All they took out was the seats; they
	kept the entire architecture of the theatre intact, and in fact,
	have maintained it much better than the theatre owners did.  Lovely
	carpeting, murals, high ceiling (of course!), stairways, etc.  You
	purchase your books at what used to be the concession stand.  It
	works.  If Brazos Books is the classy literati version of Houston
	book culture, the Bookstop in the Alabama Theatre is pure Texan
	bravado: bigger than life, better than it needs to be, and hugely
	satisfying."  However, the SF collection still lacks.  Has an
	espresso bar in the balcony.  Open til midnight.
All Books (2126 Richmond at Greenbriar, 713-522-6722).  Used bookstore, all
	hardback.  Small, so not a great place for just browsing the
	shelves.  Decent natural science selection.
Book Collector (2347 University Blvd at Morningside, 713-661-2665).  Not
	checked out yet, but from the outside it appears to be in the nature
	of Detering or Brazos, with a Brit-lit orientation.
Booked Up (711 Studewood at E 7th, 713-868-3910).  Used bookstore with good
	liberal arts selection, Texana & Americana, art & architecture.
Books International (2015-F W Gray at Shepherd, 713-523-5330).  French,
	Spanish, German books.
Book-tronics (5370 Westheimer, between Sage and Chimney Rock, 713-626-4000).
	"They advertise themselves as 'the bookstore of the future.'  They
	have virtually no books on paper; what they have (and they have a 
 	lot of) are two floors of books on tape and a floor of CD-Roms.
	Most of their titles, both the books on tape and the CD-Roms, are 
	available to either buy, or rent for a fee a little higher than
	the average movie rental.  Their selection of CD-Roms matches or
	beats most computer stores, and they have the most books on tape
	that I've ever seen in one place.  It's new.  I don't remember the
	hours."
Brazos Bookstore (2421 Bissonnet at Morningside, 713-523-0701).  Eclectic,
	but known as a literary place, with readings.  "The Brazos Bookstore
	is *the* bookstore in Houston for the hip crowd, the literati, the
	artsy people from Montrose, etc.  Philip Lopate used to hang out
	there, and I think he even mentions the place in one of his essays.
	It's small, attractive, unassuming, and quietly excellent.
	Especially in the areas of new and avant-garde fiction and
	non-fiction, lit crit, poetry, and art.  I bought a Man Ray T-shirt
	there once: the famous photo with dewdrops on eyelashes.  It's the
	only T-shirt I ever saw them sell.  A class act, all 'round.  This
	store is very much a *Houston* store.  It epitomizes the
	cosmopolitan, New-York-without-the-hassles feeling of the city."
Brentanos, Galleria (Galleria mall, 713-961-1091).  West end of *the*
	Houston mall (not on the central courts but sort out of the way).
	Probably has a 10% discount membership program (the Sheperd Square
	store has one).
Brentanos, Shepherd Square (S Shepherd at Westheimer, 713-523-0411).  A
	large, generic bookstore but much more pleasant than most, as
	armchairs and a coffee machine are to be found.  Good children's and
	history sections.  Now has a 10% discount membership program.
Brown Book Shop (1517 San Jacinto at Bell, 713-652-3937).  Good for science
	and technical stuff.  celebrating its 50th year of business in 1996.
Detering Book Gallery (2311 Bissonnet at Greenbriar, 713-526-6974).  A used
	bookstore, but for literary and rare stuff.
Future Visions (10570 Northwest Freeway, a.k.a. US-290 at Mangum,
	713-682-4212).  Relatively speaking, the Houston source for SF and
	horror, but given the level of competition, this doesn't mean as
	much as it does in other cities.  Due to financial troubles c. 1990,
	the selection has been broadened to include techno-thrillers and the
	ilk.  Author signings every month or so.  "Difficult to comment as
	the ownership changed recently, though it appeared the used book
	section was expanding.  Discount consists of a card punched for
	every $5 you spend; after ten punches, you get $5 off a purchase.
	Infrequent newsletter."  Another poster says, "They do get the new
	SF and fantasy, but for general shelf lurking, it's probably not
	worth the drive (a non-trivial detail in Houston) unless you live in
	NW Houston."
Half-Price Books (University at Kirby).  A large branch of the used
	bookstore chain.  Pretty good Texana section.
Half-Price Books (Waugh at Hyde Park).  A moderate-sized branch.
Inklings (1846 Richmond at Hazard, 713-521-3369).  Women's fiction; gay,
	lesbian, and bisexual; non-sexist and multicultural texts.
Lucia's Garden (2942 Virginia, 713-523-6494).  Specializes in mythology,
	psychology, gender studies, herb lore and gardening.
Majors Scientific Books (6640 S Main at Dryden, 1-800-221-9697).  Good for
	computer books and science texts, *especially* medical tomes.
Munchkin's Mablies (2530 Times at Kirby, 713-522-3911).  Children's books
	only.
Murder By the Book (2342 Bissonnet at Morningside, 713-524-8597).  The
	Houston source for mysteries, especially new stuff.  Author signings
	almost every week.
Museum of Fine Arts (1001 Bissonnet at S Main, 713-639-7365).  Lots and lots
	of art-related books.
Nan's Games (2011 SW Fwy at S Shepherd, 713-520-8700).  A game and comic
	shop, but it has a rack of new SF, though heavily infested with
	official D&D pablum.
Out-of-Print Book Shop (2450 Times Blvd, 713-526-8616).  "Self-explanatory."
Rice Campus Store (Rice Campus, S Main at Sunset, 713-527-4052).  Avoid
	unless looking for something written by a Rice faculty member.
	Textbooks are expensive and there's not much else.
River Oaks Bookstore (1987 W Gray at McDuffie, 713-520-0061).  Generic but
	good place to hang out while waiting for a movie at the River Oaks
	Theater.
Stop Look & Learn (2415 Robin Hood at Morningside, 713-528-6508).
	Children's books.
Texas Art Supply (2001 Montrose at Welch, 713-526-5221).  Art-related books.
Third Planet (2718 SW Freeway near Kirby, the ugly blue building next to the
	Holiday Inn, 713-528-1067).  A comic and game shop, but they do
	maintain a very large rack of new and old SF books.  The new
	location on the freeway makes them more accessible to those
	traveling from elsewhere in Houston, but has displaced them from the
	Bissonnet-Rice Village bookstore circuit.  Discounts available only
	to comic subscribers.
U. S. Government Bookstore (Texas Crude Building, 801 Travis Street, Suite
	120, 713-228-1187).  "Did you know that the U. S. Government
	Printing Office (GPO) operates 24 bookstores across the country?
	...and that they have some of the most >ahem< unusual and
	interesting things you'll find anywhere?"
University of Houston Cougar Bookstore (UH campus).  A large campus
	bookstore, usually cheaper than the Rice store.
Univeristy of St. Thomas Bookstore (UST campus).  Reputedly good for
	literature.
University of Texas Health Science Center Books (6431 Fannin at University,
	713-794-1207). Medical and health books.

Robert B. Schmunk, schmunk@spacsun.rice.edu, said in 1993:

For libro-philiacs with an afternoon to spare in Houston, your best bet is
to head for the corner of Bissonnet and Morningside and park your car.
Within a block or so you can find the Brazos Book Store, the Detering Book
Gallery, and Murder By the Book.  Should you feel that you've
exhausted the possibilities in this area, a quick jaunt about six blocks
south to the Rice Village will take you to the Book Collector and a large
Half-Price Books.  (Those of you with kids may want to look into Stop Look
& Learn or Munchkin's Mablies along the way.)  If there's any time still
left in the day, you can then consider going one of the following
directions:

A) head north up Shepherd to hit the Bookstop or Brentanos, perhaps
finishing up at the River Oaks Bookstore or the Waugh Half-Price before you
catch a movie at either the River Oaks Theater or the Cineplex River Oaks
Plaza.

B) do a little time on the freeway (this is Houston after all) to the
Galleria, where you can find a Brentano's.  Then rest at the Galleria movie
theaters.

C) the SF-inclined will want to head way northwest to Future Visions,
perhaps stopping at Third Planet on the way.  Be warned, though, that their
collections don't measure up to SF bookstores in other cities.

[By now, this may be out of date.]

Subject: Austin TX

Adventures in Crime and Space (607 W Sixth, across from Katz's Deli).
	"Willy Siros and the rest of Two Guys From Texas, a familiar sight
	at SF conventions, have opened a store.  Extensive doesn't begin to
	describe the stock, which includes the former new stock of the
	previous incarnation of Austin Books.  Two rooms of new SF, one room
	of used SF, one room of used mysteries (with a few unclassifiable
	objects thrown in) and a small but growing new mystery section.
	Many small-press items, plus collectibles."  Has signings.
	"They now have a frequent-flyer discount policy: buy 10 *new* books
	(hardcover or paper) and your next purchase will be discounted by
	the average price of those books. (Bi?)Monthly newsletter available
	from acs@eden.com.  New mystery section is now full-fledged.
	Sometimes Willy brings in his cats."
Apollinaire's (2118 Guadalupe, 512-495-9093).  A used bookstore focusing on
	literary and scholarly titles. 
Asylum Books (2906 San Gabriel, 512-479-0015).  "A small but selective store
	specializing in modern literature and mysteries, with general stock
	as well, including one of the better military history sections in
	town.  A great source of first editions and signed books--this is
	where you go in Austin if you're looking for first editions by
	Raymond Chandler, Sue Grafton, James Lee Burke, etc.  Wonderful
	ambience--hardwood floors, antique bookcases, soft music, etc. make
	each visit pleasurable."
Austin Books (51st and Lamar).  Under new ownership, but once again a
	"full-scale SF bookstore.  A goodly amount of new, a lot of used.
	Special sections for old Ace Doubles, collectible magazines,
	just-out new books, local writers (there are a bunch these days),
	and British imports.  They also have a full-scale comics section,
	and seem to be the only people in town who consistently carry LOCUS.
B. Dalton's (Barton Creek Mall, 512-327-2960; Highland Mall, 512-452-5739;
	and Northcross Mall, 512-454-5125).  Your standard "chain" book
	store that keeps a generic cross-section of books for most tastes.
Barnes and Noble (Arboretum Shopping Center, Great Hills at 183).  "First
	incursion of the superstores into the Austin area.  Books, CDs,
	software, cafe.  Books have a slightly wider range than Bookstop.
	Lots of bargain books of the usual sort.  CD collection is
	interesting but Tower has a better classical selection, and I
	didn't spot any big bargains.  Cafe includes tall stools to sit on
	that look remarkably uncomfortable.  Parking the day after the grand
	opening was unspeakable, but may owe something to the approach of
	Christmas.  Counter staff quite friendly."
Book Exchange (1810 Anderson Ln, 512-454-6139).  Mostly used books, but have
	a decent selection of new ones at 10% off.  Very good selection of
	SF and used mysteries.  Their trade-in policy is interesting--if you
	bring in a bunch of books, they will mark how many of each category
	you have on a card filed by your name--then if you buy another book
	in one of those categories, it is 25% of cover rather than 50%.
Book Market (2021 Guadalupe, at Dobie Mall, 512-499-8708).  Specializes in
	used titles, and out of print booksearches.
Book People (4006 S Lamar, 512-441-9757).  A large (40,000 sq. ft.) New Age
	book store, claiming to stock 300,000 titles.  Specializes in
	holistic health, "metaphysics," philosophy, psychology, and related
	areas.  Worth checking for those interested in philosophy or
	psychology, even if you are not interested in new age writings.  Has
	a large gay/lesbian/bisexual section.  Book People's stated mission
	is "to bring to Austin the largest bookstore in the Western
	Hemisphere and therefore, unparalleled access to the written word."
	They focus on providing "more than the typical East Coast chain
	bookstore."  They also feature music and videos, CD ROMs and
	multimedia titles, art, jewelry, musical instruments and crafts
	collected from around the world.  "I frequently find things here
	that I can't find at the other big stores, because of their policy
	of hanging on to backlist for long periods of time.  I'm constantly
	discovering writers, wanting to get what they wrote a few years
	back, and not finding any because no one will keep backlist around.
	BookPeople solves that problem for me. It has a good fiction
	section, an interesting set of shelves featuring historical novels,
	and history I've not seen elsewhere.  Great kids' section."
Book Woman (918 W 12th, 78731, 512-472-2785).  Specializes in women's issues
	and feminist writings.  "Women-owned and operated."
Bookstop (9070 Research: 512-451-5798: 5400 Brodie, 512-892-1580; 6406 N I-H
	35, 512-453-7297; Central Market at 38th and N Lamar).  A
	well-stocked general bookstore with four branches in Austin.  All
	books are discounted 10% for all clients; with a $9 annual
	membership, you will receive a 40% discount on best-sellers, 20% on
	all other books--including special orders--and 10% on newspapers.
	The intelligence and usefulness of the staff varies widely; some
	employees know next to nothing.  "In my experience, special orders
	come very quickly (one week)."  The largest store is the one on
	Brodie, and someone reports that the new store in the Central Market
	has the "best collection of general fiction/literature of all the
	Bookstop locations, which seems to make it the best in town."
Borders Books and Music (10225 Research, 78759, 512-795-9553).  Of the three
	superstores in Austin, Border's has the most thoughtful selection of
	backlist titles.  Both Bookpeople and B&N often look as if the
	selection was bought by the publisher's sales reps--stacks of the
	newest promotion while forsaking the steady sellers from the past.
	The store is very understated.  The history selection is the largest
	in town.
BR News (3204 Guadalupe, 512-454-9110).  A newstand worth mentioning because
	it is the best source for out-of-town newspapers (also see Europa
	Books for foreign papers).
Desert Books (1904 Guadalupe, beneath the Bank One building, 512-322-9771,
	desert@booklist.com).  "The original staff from Europa Books have
	opened a small store specializing in literary, political, and
	cultural criticism.  The store also carries a selection of new and
	used titles in philosophy, classics, medieval and Renaissance
	studies, as well as erotica, marginalia, and curiosa from around the
	world.  So that the store could better focus on its core areas, the
	owner decided to keep the store completely hidden from the street."
Europa Books (2716 Guadalupe, 512-476-0423, FAX 512-479-0912).  Probably the
	best-stocked foreign language bookstore in the Southwest.  Has
	especially good collections of German and French books.  Has no
	English-language books.  Has foreign-language magazines and
	newspapers.  "It's ... run by two very strange French fellows,
	specializing, from time to time, in foreign books and academic
	titles."  They apparently have six other locations around the
	country.
Half Price Books (3110 Guadalupe, 512-451-4463; 2929 S Lamar, 512-443-3138;
	8868 Research, 512-454-3664).  The best used book store in town, but
	only by default.  The Guadalupe store is large, with a rather high
	turnover rate.  Sometimes one can find an armful of bargains; at
	other times, there seems to be little more than undesirable titles.
	The staff will not search for titles, so if you're looking for
	something, you must stop in and hope to find it.
Jung Society Bookstore (5555 N Lamar, Suite H-106, 512-458-1108).
Mysteries and More (11139 N IH35, 512-837-6768).  "80% mystery, 80% used,"
	but they also have a solid SF section.  Their new books sell for
	20% off, and they will apply used credit to new books.  Also, they
	offer *lots* of signings of both local and out-of-town authors.
	They will order almost anything!  Closed Mondays.
Toad Hall Children's Bookstore (1206 W 38th, 512-323-2665).  A very nice
	children's bookstore.
University Co-op (2246 Guadalupe, 512-476-7211).  A well-stocked college
	bookstore, with good collections in most scholarly areas.
	Especially good collection of scientific and computer titles, and
	the only substantial collection in town for most liberal arts and
	sciences subjects.  "The Co-op book department has been through
	several management changes since the former manager of Europa left
	in late 1994, and the department has been overhauled at least twice
	again.  The store still maintains, along with Border's, one of the
	best selections of computer books in Austin; and the magazine
	selection is almost as good as the one at BR News.  However, the
	selection of academic and scholarly titles is incoherent and without
	focus."
Walden Books (Arboretum Market, 512-346-2380; Barton Creek Mall,
	512-327-1668).  Another standard "chain" book store that keeps a
	generic cross-section of books for most tastes.  The store in the

	Blvd, 512-444-9974).  Primarily an outdoor sporting goods store, but

Antiquarian Book Mart (3217 Broadway, 210-828-4885).  "This store is
	immediately adjacent to Half Price Books.  They have a mix of paper
	and hardbacks.  They also have an "annex" behind the main store,
	which has more restricted hours than the main store and I think
	sells more rare books."
Bibliopola (4223 McCullough, 210-930-2665).  A small, upscale used hardcover
	shop.  Open Mon 11AM-3PM, Tue-Sat 10AM-6PM.
