Focused on suburbs and local chains — not a single general-interest shop in the Mission is listed — this is a guide for the Bouquets to Art crowd. Book Passage, Books Inc., Copperfield's and Pegasus all take up space that could have been used for more independent shops. (I say this as a frequent customer of Books Inc., who get nearly all of the business I would give to Amazon.) All I know of Bookshop West Portal is its politics, but it's enough to make me wish someone else had gotten the featured slot.
