Chicago Bookstores

DO NOT GIVE YOUR MONEY TO CHAINS. NO BARNES AND NOBLE, NO BORDERS. SHOP AND SPEND LOCALLY

Barbara’s Books. One of the great Chicago independents, they’ve lost some stores along the way, but they’ve adapted. Keep them on the map. http://www.barbarasbookstore.com

Unabridged Books. Don’t let the gay and lesbian theme scare you, this is a great bookstore, period. And the staff notes really help. http://www.unabridgedbookstore.com/

Kate the Great’s Book Emporium. http://www.myspace.com/katethegreats A Columbia College Chicago Alum who’s fighting the good fight, give her a hand.

Quimby’s. More of a ‘zine and alternative press shop, but they fill an important niche. http://quimbys.com/
