    Karen Thompson Walker

    By Rhena Tantisunthorn | Wed, July 25, 2012

    Every so often, a book comes along that makes me feel stupid. Not stupid because the content is over my head (although that happens, too), but stupid because while reading the closing chapters in a public location I must fight back the tears and... More »

  • Dylan Hicks

    Dylan Hicks

    By Rhena Tantisunthorn | Wed, June 13, 2012

    If the windows on Dylan Hicks's debut novel, Boarded Windows (Coffee House Press), are indeed boarded, it's because the high- and low-brow music, literary, and cultural notes that fill its pages are straining against the glass. But the thicket of... More »

  • Lizz Winstead

    Lizz Winstead

    By Jessica Armbruster | Wed, May 16, 2012

    Lizz Winstead describes Lizz Free or Die (Riverhead Books) as a series of "messays." Part essay, part memoir, the book explores the rocky road she took on the way to finding her comedic voice. In it, Winstead candidly recalls growing up in a... More »

  • 2012 | Best Bookstore (Used)

    Year after year, Magers & Quinn defies the long odds facing print media and continues to thrive in Uptown. The bookstore stays alive not just because of its bountiful selection -- nearly a quarter of a million new and used books -- but because it's a valuable part of the Uptown community and a one-of-a-kind, immersive resource for book lovers who can't satisfy their jones from Amazon alone. Besides the vast selection, the always helpful and knowledgeable staff, and an... More »

  • 2010 | BEST BOOKSTORE (USED)

    Twin Cities book lovers are blessed with an embarrassment of riches. Better still, lit junkies without, you know, actual riches have a slew of discount dealers at their disposal, so there's no need to sell plasma or skip a meal to stay flush with reading material. Among the options for bargain-minded bookworms, one stands tall above the rest: the mighty Magers & Quinn. The uptown anchor has it all: an attractive space, roomy layout, friendly staff, and convenient hours. Its stock of used... More »

  • 2008 | BEST BOOKSTORE (USED)

    With its cluttered shelves and seemingly endless rows of books, it's easy to get lost inside Magers and Quinn. From Charlie Brown to Aristotle, hidden treasures can be found in every nook and cranny of the store. It's the perfect place to browse, with more than 120,000 used and current titles, with subjects ranging from how to cook to how to find a date. Snuggled between the white shelves of popular titles are old, dusty cases filled with a first-edition Dickens and other collector's items,... More »

  • 2007 | BEST BOOKSTORE (USED)

    It's nice when a bookstore is large and serpentine enough to offer hidey-holes and escape routes, should one catch a glimpse of an irritating co-worker or regrettable ex-boyfriend. M&Q's buyers are discerning, so the treasure-to-trash ratio is above average, but they're also democratic, so they have pulp paperbacks as well as the letters of Robert Lowell, a shelf devoted to books on "sexual fulfillment," and a good amount of German philosophy, long a wonderful comfort to the sexually...

  • 2006 | BEST BOOKSTORE (INDIE)

    "Independently owned" is retail's rockiest road, particularly in the book racket. Squeezed by online giants, hounded by avaricious landlords, perused and abused by a fickle clientele often more interested in looking than buying--is it any wonder that so many booksellers have abandoned storefronts in favor of web-based operations--or, worse still, given up the ghost? Like fellow survivors Powell's (Portland) and Strand (NYC), Magers and Quinn has chosen to mutate with the times,... More »

  • 2000 | BEST BOOKSTORE (USED)

    A used bookstore's charm is directly correlative to the amount of time you can dissipate in finding the book you've entered with the intent of purchasing. We've whittled away more hours than we care to calculate among the stacks of this perennial Twin Cities favorite. Still, we've noticed that we almost always emerge carrying whatever it was we were looking for in the first place--a testament to both the store's tranquil atmosphere and its imposing selection. Especially laudable are the... More »

    With its cluttered shelves and seemingly endless rows of books, it's easy to get lost inside Magers and Quinn. From Charlie Brown to Aristotle, hidden treasures can be found in every nook and cranny of the store. It's the perfect place to browse, with more than 120,000 used and current titles, with subjects ranging from how to cook to how to find a date. Snuggled between the white shelves of popular titles are old, dusty cases filled with a first-edition Dickens and other collector's items, a reminder that a book's magic is timeless. Located in the heart of Uptown, Magers and Quinn offers a nice break from the endless cafés, restaurants, and bars that line the street. Late-night weekend hours make this store the perfect stop on the way home from an evening on the town. The shop also has one of the most active author reading programs in town, often with a dozen or more events a month. Magers and Quinn keeps the literary spirit alive, bringing authors and book lovers together in the name of a good read.
