Welcome to Corey's Indie Bookstore Travelogue!

Corey's Indie Bookstore Travelogue chronicles my experiences visiting independent bookstores. I share my own personal stories and travel experiences associated with each bookstore, and in the process, give readers a sense of what each bookstore has to offer.

You can browse my recent entries below, by archive in chronological order, or if you are looking for a particular store, through my label section where you find stores organized by their city of location.

Magers and Quinn



I'm embarrassed to admit that I never visited Magers and Quinn when I lived in the Twin Cities. My only knowledge of the store was that it sponsored Robert Brenner's talk on the Iraq War at the University of Minnesota. (We at Mayday Books thought it surprising that a political bookstore wouldn't have been asked.) So, having heard about the store, I finally made it over for a visit on my recent trip to Minneapolis. My friend Kirk and I browsed the maze of bookshelves of this classic old store. Magers and Quinn is located in a prime spot in the heart of the Uptown area, right on Hennepin Avenue. I can't imagine why I hadn't been there before. My only guess is that it was closed late weekend nights when we happened to be in Uptown or we didn't venture south enough that late.
