Best Independent Bookstore

Bookmark’s Spring Garden location means lots of nearby coffee shops to scuttle off to in order to dig into that newly purchased book. The store is also a great place to visit while waiting for the bus. Just hop across the street for a book and you’ve got the best defense against those who feel the need to talk to strangers on the bus ride home. 5686 Spring Garden, 423-0419
