2012 | Best Used Book Store

You could never venture beyond the first floor of Dunaway Books and still be happy with its selection of used books: shelf after shelf of fiction classic, contemporary and popular; memoir and biography; cooking and children's books; not to mention the rare and antiquarian selections. But once you've explored the sprawling basement level, you might swear off all other used-book stores forever. Here are seemingly never-ending rows of history, travel, sciences both physical and social. There... More »
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. It's important to have the right kind of approach upon entering a used book store -- Dunaway may not have the exact book that you're looking for, but once you poke around the tall wooden stacks inside the South Grand storefront, chances are you'll find some other gem. The tomes are organized not just by basic "fiction" and "nonfiction"... More »
2005 | Best Newsletter

The newsletter is a holdover from a more genteel age. Prior to Web site updates and (God forbid) online streaming media, if a business wanted to keep its employees and clientele abreast of new developments, said business relied on the humble newsletter. The more creative (or perhaps just more determined) employees usually assumed the task of writing informational blurbs about the business, then collating the information into a handy broadsheet to be posted on a bulletin board in-house and...

Given our druthers, we'd rather read than do most anything. We pore over books at cafés (witness the coffee-stained pages); we wake in the morning with half-read novels splayed on our bed. We read passages aloud to one another, because some writing is just too good not to share. And we think that Heaven probably looks a lot like Dunaway Books. 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 »
