Focused on suburbs and local chains — not a single general-interest shop in the Mission is listed — this is a guide for the Bouquets to Art crowd. Suburban chains take up space that could have been used for more independent shops. (I say this as a frequent customer of Books Inc., who got nearly all of the business I would give to Amazon.) All I know of Bookshop West Portal is its politics, but it's enough to make me wish someone else had gotten the featured slot.
