An article in Friday’s Chicago Tribune calls Quimby’s one of of Chicago’s 10 best bookstores, but please folks, don’t hold it against us. Kidding. I kid! Between Greg Kot, Metromix and the Red Eye, the Chicago Tribune is a regular wild and crazy guy. Anyway, it’s a nice piece that focuses on independently-owned, neighborhood bookstores, such as Quimby’s, Women and Children First, Seminary Co-op and others. Link (bound to expire.)
In other news, New City‘s biannual “Lit 50” list of Chicago’s literary pimps and players puts Quimby’s very own Col. McCormick, Eric Kirsammer, at number 40. It’s a full two spot improvement from their 2005 list! Lookout, Oprah!

“The Creation Museum presents a “walk through history.” Designed by a former Universal Studios exhibit director, this state-of-the-art 60,000 square foot museum brings the pages of the Bible to life… [With] over fifty exotic animals, life-sized people and dinosaur animatronics, and a special-effects theater complete with misty sea breezes and rumbling seats.”
Wow just got the word that the new book of Fletcher Hanks comics is set to land this week. For most of us our first taste of this undercover genius was from the few pages reprinted in the awesome book Art Out of Time, and even with that books steller line up of underground and obscure weirdness from bygone days. Fletcher Hanks was easily the best thing in there.
