Beth J. Harpaz, AP Travel Editor, has selected nine bookstores<\/a> that she considers “worth a tourist’s time” because each is “more than just a place to buy books.” The nine bookstores are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. BOOKS & BOOKS: 265 Aragon Ave., Coral Gables<\/li>\n
  2. CITY LIGHTS BOOKS: 261 Columbus Ave., San Francisco<\/li>\n
  3. ELLIOTT BAY BOOK CO.: 101 S. Main St., Seattle<\/li>\n
  4. POLITICS AND PROSE: 5015 Connecticut Ave. NW, Washington<\/li>\n
  5. POWELL’S CITY OF BOOKS: 1005 W. Burnside, Portland<\/li>\n
  6. PRAIRIE LIGHTS: 15 S. Dubuque St., Iowa City<\/li>\n
  7. TATTERED COVER BOOK STORE: 1628 16th St., Denver<\/li>\n
