Item Description
The nation’s first all-paperback bookstore, City Lights has expanded several times over the years; we now offer three floors of both new-release hardcovers and quality paperbacks from all of the major publishing houses, along with an impressive range of titles from smaller, harder-to-find, specialty publishers The store features an extensive and in-depth selection of poetry, fiction, translations, politics, history, philosophy, spirituality, music, film, cultural studies, and more, with a staff whose special book interests in many fields contribute to the hand-picked quality of what you see on the shelves
The City Lights masthead says “a literary meetingplace since 1953,” and this concept includes publishing books as well as selling them In 1955, Ferlinghetti launched City Lights Publishers with the now-famous Pocket Poets Series; since then the press has gone on to publish a wide range of titles, both poetry and prose, fiction and nonfiction, international and local authors
Today, City Lights has well over two hundred titles in print, with a dozen or so new titles being published each year The press is known and respected for its commitment to innovative and progressive ideas, and its resistance to forces of conservatism and censorship With this bookstore-publisher combination, “it is as if,” says Ferlinghetti, “the public were being invited, in person and in books, to participate in that ‘great conversation’ between authors of all ages, ancient and modern”
