About Palo Alto
Upscale and smart. Palo Alto is a technological epicenter. It's where math geniuses mix with Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, and over half of its population carries a postgraduate degree - or two! The city centers on Stanford University and encompasses 26 square miles. Palo Alto is just as beautiful as it is brainy. There are over four thousand acres of nature preserves, parks and gardens. Housing costs are astronomical and the area happens to be home to over sixty biotech and high tech firms. The city features highlights like the Stanford Theatre, where moviegoers can view black and white silent flicks to the musical swells of a Wurlitzer organ; as well as the Hoover Institute, where roughly eighty scholars combat the consequences of war; and a clutch of bookstores selling texts like the Thematic Origins of Scientific Thought.

Literate minds crave literature. And where other than college towns do marvelous bookstores crop up like crazy? Palo Alto's literary favorites include used and new book stores, and most of them are independents, as opposed to national chains.
