Myopic is one of my favorite places to troll for hours for used books. The staff are engaging, the selections are broad and thoughtful, and the setting is functional if not fancy. Some of the aisles will either seem claustrophobic or like a good way to meet a special friend. Glad to see them in their new space; better light, and the upstairs sitting room with the bay window overlooking Milwaukee Avenue traffic is much more inviting than the old spot facing the alley and the el.
Pros: Wide selection, Great staff, Literate not stuffy
Cons: Music section weak, No A/C (gasp!)
