Of all of DC's independent bookstores, this one is the most serious of the bunch, as the name might suggest. It also hosts more events and speakers than the others combined and tends to draw pretty good crowds for most of them. I've been there a few times and each time I go I find something, whether it's a discussion or speech, that I can't get at any other DC bookstore. This one is a true gem for those looking to truly delve into the world of "politics and prose."
