City Lights’ three floors feature titles from small presses alongside books from major publishing houses, as well as titles from City Lights Publishers, which in addition to Howl also published works by other Beat luminaries, including Jack Kerouac and William S. Burroughs. The store’s selection of poetry titles and books on progressive politics is, not surprisingly, particularly impressive. On the Net: www.citylights.com.
