“Top Bookstore in America!”
BookPeople has been Texas’ leading independent bookstore since 1970. Located in the heart of downtown, BookPeople has been voted best bookstore in Austin for over 15 years. The rest of the country has caught on too; BookPeople was voted Bookstore of the Year by Publisher’s Weekly in 2005. With visits from some of the most interesting and important authors of the past 43 years, as well as by Former Presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton, BookPeople is the destination bookstore in Texas. BookPeople is located at the corner of 6th & Lamar. We're right across the street from Waterloo Records and in the same complex as REI & Anthropologie. Is open everyday from 9am until 10pm. The cafe provides a full range menu of coffee drinks, sodas, sandwiches, breakfast tacos and dessert. $1 per minute. They accept cash, checks, M/C, Visa, and Discover. Hours vary. Renew Chair Massage is an independent business. BookPeople does not maintain a schedule of the massage therapists' hours. Call in advance to confirm whether or not they are on site before you come down.
