Okay so this is basically the map of my weekends — gallery shift ends, I'm covered in frame dust, and somehow I always end up in a bookstore before tamales — anyway here's every shop I actually trust with my $12, from the radical lefty spot in Pilsen to the zine wall that eats my whole paycheck, anyway.

My bookstore circuit — 3 items
Name	Neighborhood	Address	City	Specialty	My take
1Pilsen Community Books	Pilsen	1531 W 18th St	Chicago, IL	Worker-owned, radical politics, poetry, Spanish-language	This is basically my living room — worker-owned, full of zines, and they just moved into a bigger spot with room for events so now I have even more reasons to linger, anyway
2Open Books Pilsen	Pilsen	905 W 19th St	Chicago, IL	Used books, literacy nonprofit, $1 bins	Warehouse vibes but in the best way, $1 books mean I always walk out with a tote bag I didn't plan on buying, anyway
3¡Viva! Los Libros	Pilsen	1637 W 18th St	Chicago, IL	Bilingual children's books, Latinx stories	Tucked inside Pilsen Arts & Community House so you get a dose of art and libros in one stop — mi corazón, honestly, anyway
