On the Grid : John King Used & Rare Books

"Four stories of used books in a former glove factory. Feel free to ask for a map when you walk in, each floor also has a list of categories on that floor. And there's a floor manager too if you need guidance. We recommend setting aside some time for this one and getting lost for awhile." - Michelle & Chris Gerard

"The King of Rare Books If John K. King Used & Rare Bookstore looks more like an enormous factory than a sweet independent bookstore, consider this: The building, which was once an old glove factory, stuffs more than a million secondhand and rare books onto each of its four floors. Each of these floors is open for browsing Monday through Saturday, but inquisitive readers must schedule an appointment to view the Rare Book and Art Book Rooms. With such a colossal selection, it's rare that readers leave without an extraordinary find."
