I’m leaving the relative warmth of Texas and traveling to wintery Chicago. Chicago is truly a literary city, full of beautiful libraries, bookstores, and book art.
One destination will certainly be the University of Chicago to see the famed Harper Memorial Library main reading room. Image: Justin Kern
Perhaps I’ll see this as I wander the campus. Image: Quinn Dombrowski
I love the sign at Booksman’s Corner on N. Clark Street. Image: Matt Stratton
My hotel is near Printers Row, which was once a bastion of bookmaking (printing and publishing, of course, not betting). Image: Pirate Alice
Chicago is full of world class museums including the Art Institute of Chicago which houses Jean-Baptiste-Francios Desoria’s Portrait of Constance Pipelet, 1797. Image: Underpuppy
Enjoy,

Great pictures! I love the ‘BOOKS rare medium well-done’ sign!
I loved the rare medium well-done sign too. I wish we’d had time to go see the sign and the store in person. Maybe next trip..
