ever been to MayDay books on the Westbank in Minneapolis?
It is a great bookstore for progressives and people who like history.
They have books you don't see at Barnes and Nobles.
I was looking at their list of newer books.. You can also hang out and read and visit with other like minded people.
Great little restaurants nearby.
