Communal Places for Literary Enthusiasts

H   The Haunted Bookshop in Iowa City is the second oldest secondhand bookstore in town. And while it’s not really haunted, the walls of ten well-appointed rooms of the historic Wentz House on Gilbert Street are lined with shelves and comfortable chairs, and feature over fifty thousand books, some first editions and signed, in eighty different subject areas, in addition to puzzles, games and toys. Events include book-signings, read-aloud sessions, puppet shows, and spontaneous performances by visiting piano players.  Friendly staff, including several feline tour guides, are on hand to help with any questions you may have.

 

Now, this is my favorite kind of bookstore! How about you?
