Would you like to meet us at the 27 club for drinks? Because @QuimbysBookstore turns 27 today. We opened today in 1991 when founder Steven Svymbersky opened the store in a 1000 sq. ft. space at Damen and Evergreen. We are forever thankful to him for his contribution to Chicago’s independent publishing legacy. Go in and say hello to him at @quimbysbookstorenyc in Brooklyn! #Quimbys #QuimbysBookstore #QuimbysBookstoreChicago #Birthday #27 #27Club #1991 #27thbirthday #twentyseven #QuimbysBookstoreNYC #EvilEye #zines
