Reviewed By dunadan - Lynnwood, United States
We ventured out of downtown Chicago during our spring break trip to the Windy City and decided to take the train out to the Wicker Park neighborhood, One of our goals on every vacation is to visit at least one local, non-chain bookstore, and Myopic Books was at the top of our list for Chicago. The folks behind the counter were super-helpful, and when I listed the genres and authors in which I was interested, one of them escorted me directly to the shelves in the basement where I could find what I was looking for--while explaining that the mystery section was in the former vault of the business that used to occupy the building. My wife, daughter, and I spent a half an hour browsing the shelves on three different levels, and we left with three or four used books to add to our bulging bookshelves at home. This is a fine bookstore, with the best part being the helpful and friendly staff who run the place.
