2010 | Best Used Book Store

You know you've found a great bookstore the moment you lose yourself in it, and it's certainly easy to get lost in Dunaway Books. The muted lighting has a make-yourself-at-home vibe and encourages extended marathons of bargain book-hunting, which is good since the narrow aisles here are stuffed with used novels, biographies, poetry anthologies, antique volumes and every imaginable subgenre in between. The staff is happy -- excited, really -- to help find what you're searching for,... More »
2007 | Best Used Book Store

To paraphrase Ernest Hemingway, Dunaway Books is a clean, well-lighted place. One that invites a Saturday afternoon's worth of perusal and page flipping.

Sure, we all love the satisfying spine-crack of a brand-new book, but there's also something to be said for used books, and that something is... More »
2003 | Best Used Book Store

If you don't know much about history but you'd like to, then stop by Dunaway Books and pick up a five-volume set of the papers of Dwight D. Eisenhower. For muckraking types who want to know more about the author who chronicled political corruption and slime in St. Louis back in the day in Tweed Days in St. Louis, there's the two-volume Letters of Lincoln Steffens, which spans 1889 to 1936. The used bookstore that carries lots of history books also has its own history. For several years,... More »
