America's coolest used bookstore might be in Champaign, Illinois.

I went on a roadtrip with my friend Amber last week to check out a couple grad school programs for library science, and we spent last Friday afternoon in Champaign, where we discovered the Jane Addams Book Shop. Here are some of the pictures we took:


Shag carpeting . . .

. . . to go with the retro furniture.

Matching book-and-chair.

The Jane Addams Book Shop is three stories tall, and reminds me of Shakespeare and Company in Paris, France.






So, what do you think? Have you encountered a similar used bookstore? An even cooler one, perhaps?

This bookstore looks so cool. I really want to go there. In Belgium there was this huge bookstore that was so beautiful. Like this fantastic staircase and so many beautiful old books. I just loved it there. ;)
