Best Downtown Bookstore

Bertrand's Books
120 E. Congress St.

STAFFPICK: Kudos for being downtown, for being open at night, and for the eminently browsable "one-dollar classics" bins at Bertrand's. We also dig their "Stuff Found in Books" window display. Stop by and marvel at what other people use for bookmarks, including--among the doodles, clippings and postcards--a chart of symptoms of common tropical fish diseases, a caricature of Lewis Carroll, and a recipe for nosewash.
