I think a central component of the "magazine" section and resource library should be zines. They are almost always local, place-specific, and grassroots. There are some seriously awesome zines out there - about bike trailer construction, commuting, and tons more - the best local zine here in Minneapolis is Dames on Frames, a feminist analysis of the biking movement locally and globally. Microcosm publishing has a great collection available for purchase (and it's super easy to set up a wholesale account with them).
The other suggested books are great. I've been thinking for a while that our shop should set up a resource library for folks to either check out or use in the shop. -Jason Tanzman Sibley Bike Depot, St. Paul MN
