A nice bookstore in the bottom of Macy’s in downtown Chicago.

Limited selection, but great location and wonderful staff. I was surprised to see a current events section, with books that aren't very popular mainstream, but that are knowledgeable on the Palestinian crisis. Great work! Definitely stop by if you're in the area.
