Bar Bookstores Are a Hit Genre in the Bay Area

"In Oakland, Clio's, a shop for new and used books amid worn Oriental rugs, wood floors, a sofa and chairs, and a bar also opened in January. Books organized by timeline, from ancient civilizations like Egypt and Sumeria to the 20th century, are in the main room. The no-seats bar (which serves six wines by the glass for $10, plus cocktails and beer) and a red-walled nook for erotica, illuminated by a lava lamp, separate them from a room of contemporary and design/art books." - Sharon McDonnell
