Chicago - A message from the station manager

Walking Through Ravenswood Used Books

By Micah Tripp/YouTube

“This has to be the most amazing bookstore ever! This place is a mess and extremely unorganized. There a so many bookshelves and they are placed so close together that really only one person at a time can be in-between them.”



“This is me trying to walk through the store. Everywhere you go you find another shelf full of books! If you want to go to a bookstore to find something specific, this is not the place to go. If you just love books and like finding random treasures within, you need to go to this place: 4626 North Lincoln Avenue.”

See also this alert from Ravenswood Used Books:
“The bookstore has just acquired a LARGE COLLECTION of material relating to the world wide SLAVE TRADE from its early history into the early twentieth century. Books by scholars, historians, novelists, and activists, from Steve Biko through Cornell West and M.L.K. Jr. Africa, Brazil, the Caribbean, merrie olde England, sad New England, and the old plantation. Our books are NOT online and are sold to nice people who walk in, call, or send the money. That is all. ”

And:A very charming corner in which you will find cookbooks across from those on spirituality.”

Comments welcome.
