Chicago Underground Library Reader Interviews: Quimby’s Bookstore Part #2

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 into Quimby’s archives. Next time you are there, ask to see Steven Svymbersky’s dirty alphabet submission for Lumpen (Vol. 5, No. 10). Or pop by the Chicago Underground Library as we do carry many older issues of Lumpen.

Trivia question #1: Who designed Quimby’s logo?
