Great bookstore

If you're in Chicago, stop by the Prairie Avenue Bookshop on South Wabash, just south of Van Buren. It is by far the best bookstore I've seen. I went there today, and saw lots of really cool photography, design, architecture, and other visually intriguing books. This is one of the few times when I wish: 1) I was well off to be able to buy lots of books there, and 2) I had a bigger place to put all those books. Chain bookstores just don't have the same effect.

You can also order online from their site.
