Crawford Doyle

Crawford Doyle is the type of general-purpose bookstore that you might expect to have been put of out business by the national mega chains. But the feisty store has persevered by preserving a calm, sophisticated atmosphere. The store carries a well-edited collection of new literary fiction and non-fiction heavy in world affairs and politics. It also has a coveted collection of first editions by everyone from Dickens to Kerouac. The staff is a breath of fresh air, the type with which you are apt to have an intelligent conversation about fiction or politics. The quiet, slightly dim setting, with soft jazz music playing in the background, is perfect for a peaceful, but engaging repose from the hustle bustle of the big city.
