One was Lyrical Ballad Bookstore. It was an amazing warren of shelves and lots of old books, maps, newspapers, and pictures. Funny thing is that even though he grew up here, this was Sean's first time going!
I need some #help from my bookish friends here, particularly those in the #Chicago area. I'm trying to identify an independent #bookstore that, instead of providing gift receipts, uses a gold sticker over the price of the book.

The store in in a north suburb, and knowing the person who shops there, probably an affluent one.
