interstellaroverdrive --try Powell books-Near univ of chicago. They also have another location. Also Myoptic books. Yelp.com--pick chicago, and it will help you find most anything you want in the city. Aslo if you like strange new books and magazines-Quimby's is cool and shocking too. Not for the delicate person. They have a website too, so you can google them. They carry the largest selection Zines in the city.

It is one of my favorites! I have mentioned it on my goodreads profile several times. It is closed on wednesday, and he does not sell you books, if you plan to cut them up for art projects! He told me last month, he is looking to sell the place, due to age--he is a WWII vet. He is chatty, if you sow some respect, and smile. No, he does not know his stock, for it is free flowing --in and out all the time. Prices are good to great. Dusty and no A/C! Ladder usage at your own risk sign is here and there. Prices are good--I love hunting. Last itme i forgot my hubby at the car for 3 hours! Metered parking along Clark--2 hours at a time. Duke of Perth --Scottish pub and eatry down the street ablock or so--Great fish and chips!! Salad with poppy seed dressing from scratch. Soups are wonderful too.
I live in NW IN, but dated my hubby up there. Bookleggers is on Broadway-nice clean shop-little higher prices, but I find things there all the time too. You just walk wellington or is it webster to Broadway, and you should see them across the street. Both shops buy/sell.
Thanks for posting this-It gave me a huge smile today!
