Book lovers, soon enough we will have a few area bookstores to satisfy our book needs. In July, Barnes & Noble opened the Catholic University bookstore in Monroe Street Market. Now the Washington Post brings us news that the forthcoming Brookland and Takoma locations of Busboys and Poets restaurants will also be home to satellite locations of the Politics and Prose bookstore. For readers unfamiliar with P & P’s operation, in addition to carrying a wide selection of titles, the independent bookstore often hosts author discussions and writing classes. P & P will operate bookstores at all of the Busboys locations except the flagship location at 14th & V Street NW, which will continue to be operated by Teaching for Change. The Brookland Busboys and Poets is expected to open next month.

Edit: I neglected to mention Upshur Street Books, which recently opened on November 1 in Petworth (827 Upshur Street NW)
