There are nearly 400 independent and chain bookstores in Texas<\/span>\u2014not counting gift shops that just happen to sell books, or museum stores, or book sections of large department or discount stores. They run the gamut of specialties: children’s bookshops, college bookstores, used and rare booksellers, bookstores for art, architecture, comics, ethnic interest, religion, philosophy. Bookstores that have been around for decades, and others that launched last year. Some with coffee shops and caf\u00e9s, some with art galleries or bars. From Abilene to Waxahachie, you’re sure to find something interesting to read, hear, or learn in each of these bookish haunts.

Books about Texas: a few useful lists<\/h1>\n

Journalist and book critic A. C. Greene, himself an author of note, served as arbiter of Lone Star literary merit in 1981 with his \u201cFifty Best Texas Books,\u201d published in book form in 1982 as The Fifty Best Books on Texas<\/span> and reprised in 1998 as The 50+ Best Books on Texas<\/span><\/a><\/span> (University of North Texas Press). Another journalist-cum-author (and bookseller), Glenn Dromgoole of Abilene, with co-editor Carlton Stowers, upped the ante in 2014 with 101 Essential Texas Books<\/span><\/a><\/span> (Abilene Christian University Press).<\/p>\n
