Anyone with a love of books or history will enjoy stopping at the oldest operating bookstore in the city. Established in 1888, this quaint, well-visited shop is nestled comfortably in the center of the Hyde Park-South Kenwood district. Within the hushed, intimate confines, one can mull over works of fine literature, history and art to the quiet hum of classical music. The vast selection of quality used books is reasonably priced.
