Hey, I know the Sandmeyers! I was very good friends with their son growing up. I need to make a point to stop by there sometime and say hi.
Also, don't forget Bookman's Alley in Evanston. I don't know if you're counting used bookstores, but even if you're not the ambiance of that place should make up for it. And while we're talking about Evanston, Great Expectations and Chandler's deserve honorable mentions, even if they're both long gone. Maybe a Top Ten Defunct Bookstores list is in order.
