Second story books is local, easy to get to, often has what I want — and is a great place to discover new-to-me books.  I also like knowing that they buy book collections.

Politics and Prose has wonderful book signings and lectures.  Their staff READS, and several people on staff have made great recommendations when I’ve asked.  If they were in a more convenient location they would be my top pick for the DC area.

Loyalty Books started in a neighborhood that I love.  They have a nicely edited selection of books, do special orders, and support book clubs.  This would be my top pick for a neighborhood book store.

Kramerbooks is very easy to get to — less than a block from a metro stop.  I like the bookstore/restaurant combo.  They have a nice selection of books, often have newer books that I’m looking for, and will do special orders.  Kramerbooks gets extra points for their displays — on shelves, on tables, and especially in the front windows. I’ve learned about several favorite books and authors browsing at Kramerbooks.

(RIP Olssons — which was one of my favorite bookstores anywhere. )
I might have to dig up an old thread to do a nostalgia binge for a few others.)
