The City Lights Bookstore, in the North Beach section of San Francisco, California, is an independent bookstore specializing in poetry and a small press publisher of fiction, essays, memoirs, translations, poetry, and books on social and political issues. ...
CityLights was founded in 1953, by then unknown poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti and Peter Martin, as the nation's first all-paperback bookstore.
CityLightsPublishers was inaugurated with the release of Pictures of the Gone World, a collection of Ferlinghetti's poetry.
Lewis says, "CityLights is doing really well." She explains that since the bookstore "is such a destination for people coming to San Francisco," its sales have remained healthy.
