While looking around on LibraryThing I found a listing of bookstores near me. They are smaller stores that I am will have to check out. Here is the list.
The Book Corner. Located in Woodbury. http://www.bookcorner.us/
Best of Times Bookstore & Cafe in Red Wing.
Common Good Books. I have been told about this store numerous times and have yet to actually go to. I plan to visit it soon though and will let you know what I think. www.commongoodbooks.com
I love independent bookstores. Of course it is great going to Barnes & Noble, getting a coffee and walking around for hours. But the ambiance in a small bookstore is something you can't recreate. I have been to Magers & Quinn in Minneapolis several times and have been to a small bookstore on the border of Montana. It is interesting to see how each bookseller sets up their store and how they bring in the local community/town flavor.
Of course before I go to these three bookstores previously mentioned - I have to step foot in the new used bookstore that is now in my hometown. I have to make sure I'm supporting them!
