Cody's Books

Cody's Books on Telegraph Avenue in Berkeley is to close! Another independent hits the dust, bringing a wave of nostalgia. My dad used to take me in regularly as a child, with the enticement that I could pick my own book, often one of Andrew Lang's Fairy Tale compilations. As a surly teenager I'd hit the comic shops across the road while he browsed. But once I was an adult, we'd both be keen to go and get lost in the shelves, before hitting 'Bongo Burger' for a falafel. It's been a long time since we visited Berkeley, but it won't be the same without it.
