“You know what you can’t buy on Amazon? A cozy nook to hang out and skim the new or used book you’re about to buy. Knowledgeable staffers (not algorithms) to recommend favorite novels. Some of our favorite bookstores even offer coffee, wine or beer. So the next time you’re on the hunt for a page-turner, browse the stacks inside these wonderful, well-read shops.” Check out the stores in TimeOut Chicago. And you’ll find even more bookstores in Chicago and around the country in the NewPages Guide to Independent Bookstores.
