BookPeople

An Austin institution, BookPeople has been the leading independent bookstore in Texas since 1970. Located in the heart of downtown, BookPeople has been voted best bookstore in Austin by the Austin Chronicle every year since 1995. Known for its friendly and knowledgeable staff, author visits, and children’s book readings, BookPeople provides an escape for Austinites through its seemingly endless shelves. A note from BookPeople: "We thank our reading community for their unwavering support in the past, now and in the future. This November is our 50th anniversary of founding and we are excited to see what the next 50 years brings for our bookstore, booksellers and community of books."
