Classic book store at a University well known for its creative writing program. Lots of famous authors do book signings here.
Always make a stop when I'm in town . Great book selection, knowledgeable and helpful staff . This is *the* independent bookstore to find in Iowa.
This store seriously has every novel you could ever ask for. If you are interested having a nice cup of coffee and browsing through some brilliant literature, this is the place to go.
Not far from the University of Iowa, known for its Writers ' Workshop. President Obama stopped by in 2010, and bought books by Eva Ibbotson and Lynn Dornell.
You should look for a copy of "Athens, America" by Larry Brown. (local author ) There is a bookstore in downtown "Athens" called the Prairie Schooner . :)
Great book selection, of course, and the best vanilla latte I have ever had!
Great bookstore . Be sure to check out all of the writer 's workshop events
Great deals on a lot of books here, and plenty of Iowan authors sold here
If you shop here on a home football game day, you get the whole place to yourself.
Well-deserved reputation as one of the best bookstores in the world.
Avoid the hipster silliness of their house drink , the Houndstooth, Schlitz and espresso . A man with a handlebar mustache ordered one while I was there.
Don't forget to check out the cafe upstairs!
Prairie Lights is the best independent bookstore in Iowa. Check their schedule of visiting authors and browse their selection of books by local authors .

Very few independent book stores exist these days and especially one of this caliber.
