Busboys and Poets opened its fifth restaurant, located in the Monroe Street Market development near the Brookland-Edgewood border, at the start of the new year.

But every Busboys location peddles its fair share of radical reads, vegan cookbooks, and activist manuals. Here’s the most popular book sold at each of the anti-empire’s bookstores.
