There's a painting of Tattered Cover in there! :) cool idea. wasn't too crazy about the art though. This book is a tribute to and celebration of some of the best bookstores in the country. Sadly, more than a few have closed prior to or after this book's publication in 2009.Kroch's and Brentano's on Wabash in Chicago graces the cover. This fantastic store is one of those that closed prior to the book's publication. I loved this bookstore...
