Backwater Books is a wonderful place! There's books, there's beer, there's nice people, occasionally Chomsky the bookstore dog appears, what more could you possibly want? I also like that there's a good mix of new releases and backlist books, including some true gems. The history section is especially well curated, and it's always a pleasure to browse. I can also speak for the sci-fi fantasy shelf, and the beer, and the people. Just go already, you won't regret it.
