SF Gate's Visitor's Guide: Berkeley's Gourmet Ghetto
Black Oak Books: What Chez Panisse is to food, Black Oak is to
bookselling. These people are passionate. The cavernous space
feels like a library, filled with a reverent silence in the
presence of Books. And what books there are: new, used and even
some rarities. You won't find everything, especially if you're
looking for mass-market bestsellers, but the selection is
intelligently chosen and the salespeople are well informed. You
can even browse the used books virtually. There
are readings and other events almost daily; subscribe to their
newsletter to keep up with the offerings. 1491 Shattuck Ave. at
Vine St., (510) 486-0698. (Readers' Choice)
