Just North of the Loop and close to the Magnificant Mile is a quiet little Printer's Row. From roughly 800 N -1200 N State Street are a wide variety of different book stores. New, Used, Overstocks, Antiquarian, Out-of-Pint, Magazine, Out-of-Town Newspapers. It's all there I always look aroud a couple of blocks on each side of State for any out of the way stores. You'll find Borders and Barnes and Nobel along with a wide variety of Mom an Pop Bookstores.
