City Lights
BOOKS
Poetic justice has been served here since 1957, when City Lights founder and Beat poet
Lawrence Ferlinghetti won a landmark free-speech ruling over publishing Allen Ginsberg's
incendiary, magnificent
Howl and Other Poems
. Celebrate your freedom to read freely in
the designated Poet's Chair upstairs, load up on zines on the mezzanine, or entertain big
ideas in the nonfiction cellar.

Eden & Eden
HOUSEWARES, JEWELRY
Quirkiness is an SF style trademark achieved through a fine-arts degree or quick stop at
Eden & Eden, a Dadaist design boutique carrying limited- edition finds from international
and local designers. Prices are surprisingly down-to-earth for surreal surprises: cushions
say 'blahblahblah,' anchors float on silk dresses, shaggy tea cozies look like hippie Mup-
pets, and Ozzy Osbourne has been transformed into a stuffed bat.
