A Chicago area bookstore

A Chicago area bookstore that is *not* closing but sure could use your support is Unabridged Books at Broadway and Melrose.

Its a great store and I highly highly recommend avoiding the Walmart of books (Amazon) and supporting locally owned businesses. Because they need us to survive.
