PROFILE |
 |
It's surprising that Cody's Books is still standing, given the battles it's been through. Cody's runs two Berkeley, California, bookstores that stock more than 150,000 titles. It also sells books online. Cody's original store is on Telegraph Avenue near People's Park, the site of antiwar demonstrations in the 1960s. Cody's, known for its eclectic selection, is now in a fight of its own -- with superstore book chains like Barnes & Noble and online heavyweight Amazon.com. Cody's was founded in 1956 by Fred and Pat Cody, who sold it to present owner Andy Ross in 1977.
