As Groucho Marx once said, outside of a dog, books are man’s best friend. Inside of a dog, it’s too dark to read. So assuming everyone on your holiday gift list is outside of a dog, you may want to start spreading a little Christmas cheer by putting some pretty ribbons on books and doling them out to everyone you know, love, or just kinda like. Or just go buy yourself a stack of reading material and ignore your family over the holidays. If for some reason you don’t feel like supporting Amazon, or you just want to live in a world where independent bookstores still thrive, here is a list of some of the best independent bookstores around, mostly chosen by the book-loving nerds at Fast Company. These stores don’t own Whole Foods, or share an owner with the Washington Post, or trade in face-recogntition technology (that we know of), but they do sell books: Elliott Bay, Seattle Marcus Books, Oakland and San Francisco Three Lives & Co., New York City Word, Brooklyn, New York, and Jersey City, New Jersey The Book Mill, Montague, Massachusetts Politics and Prose, Washington, D.C.
