Quimby's Bookstore

Editorial Review

Ultimate indie bookstore: stacked to the ceiling with more 'zines than you knew existed, plus, tattoo mags, glossy photo journals and emo discs round out the collection. Photobooth in the back and weekly readings by an eclectic assortment of unknowns/ famous lit scenesters keep the vibe low-key. Chill, welcoming spot, even if you feel like sporting vintage reading glasses is necessary to cross the threshold.
