I sometimes think I wouldn't have left Northwestern and Evanston the first time had I wandered into this man's shop, which is hidden from the street but for a sign. It's a nice little world in there....

Any Doctor Who fans out there? Recall if you will how the T.A.R.D.I.S. looks small on the outside but is actually VAST inside?This is how Bookman's Alley is. When I first walked through it I swore...

This is a great bookstore. Although it is kind of intimidating, this store is good for both the rare book collector and just your average reader. A fun place to explore on a lazy afternoon.

Bookman's Alley is a lovely, labyrinthine store with an atmosphere that reminds me a bit of a sacred space, except with jazz music (nothing too off-putting, I promise). You could certainly spend...

Bookman's Alley is my favorite bookstore in the world. And I love books--just ask my roommate, who helped me move four large bookcases worth of them into our third-floor apartment. Bookman's Alley is...

This is truly a magical place. It's not just the books, but the whole ambience. It's like no other place I've ever been. It's a maze with many different little rooms filled paraphenalia related to...

This out of the way bookstore is a gem. Located in the rear of the 1712 Sherman building it tends to get overlooked by passersby. To find it, keep a look out for the alley, hence the name Bookman's ...

Bookman's Alley is located where one would think - in an alley. It's location is probably one of the worst parts about it - the alley it's located in is very dirty and dimly lit, and is even pretty sc...
