Becker's Books was always a dream of owner Dan Becker. He and his brother Dain
were book lovers from childhood and had talked about opening their own
store.
Dain taught his younger brother a great love of reading and collecting,
and although he had a most untimely death, his spirit and love
carries on within the Becker's Books tradition.
In 1994, Dan and Ann Becker bought a Spring Branch area house and turned
it into a book lover's oasis. There are over thirty corridors
of shelving holding a minimum of 90,000 titles. If you can believe
it, usually within the section the titles are arranged by author so
the book you seek can actually be found quite easily.
The bookcases are made of dark, sturdy wood and the floors are tile
and wood. Often there is very strong coffee offered for
free, and there is always a container of cookies ready to cut your hunger
in half and keep your energy up for book hunting. We actively
buy books; the most convenient day is Saturday.
Our hours are Tuesday thru Sunday 11am - 6pm, and we open the day after most holidays.
