Chicago Underground Library Reader Interviews: Quimby’s Bookstore Part #1

Chicago Underground Library loves writers and publishers, but they (and we) wouldn’t exist without readers. Over the next few months, we’ll be posting interviews with Chicagoans about their favorite gone-but-not-forgotten publications, under-recognized writers, and what it takes to make a book quintessentially Chicago. (Hint: It’s not spilling deep dish pizza on it.)

Liz Mason, manager of Quimby’s for 9 years, takes us behind the scenes, and under the table, into Quimby’s archives.

Check out more CUL videos over at the Chicago Underground Library Channel.
