Yes! Bookshop

A New Age bookstore founded in Washington, D.C., in 1972 by Cris Popenhoe. The bookshop covers every aspect of New Age concern, spiritual development, and positive occult teachings. Popenhoe is convinced of the basic New Age belief that positive social and political change is desirable and such change necessitates individual transformation. She published an excellent annotated bibliography (which doubled as a book-shop catalog): Books for Inner Development (1976), revised as Inner Development; the Yes! Bookshop Guide (1979), with eleven supplements in the early 1980s. In 1977 she also did a similar work on healing books, entitled simply Wellness.
