There is nothing, NOTHING, better than a good bookstore, at least in my humble opinion. I’d rather spend hours in a bookstore than have a great meal or the perfect cup of coffee. That’s just me.
And I think a lot of you out there feel the same way.
In honor of Independent Bookstore Day (April 27, 2019), Mental Floss chose its favorite bookstores from every state in America.
Let’s see if some of yours made the list.
Alabama – Alabama Booksmith, Homewood, AL
Alaska – Title Wave Books, Anchorage, AK
