Black Oak Books

If you go to a bookstore to drink a caramel cinnamon super-moca-fraza-chino-mundo and peruse the magazine section then we just can't recommend Black Oak. It seems that the staff and clientele of Black Oak actually, shudder the thought, like to read. Inside you'll find mostly used books, with a selection of new titles. We get a feeling that most of the new books they carry have actually been read or recommended by someone on the staff. You can pick one up randomly and enjoy it. The used books are a buyable public library. The extensive used cookbook section has some real classics. The flagship Berkeley location, in the center of the Gourmet Ghetto, is a bustling hub for book lovers. People are always walking in with large stacks of books to sell and they hold regular author and reading events.
