PW: Chicago Indie Store Expands

This is the first expansion since the bookstore opened in its current location in 1990. The new room boasts wider aisles, substantially more shelf space and even a playpen for infants. In addition, Linda Bubon and Ann Christopherson, co-owners of the store, were able to expand the shop's popular children's and gay and lesbian sections, and literature and women's studies all have substantially more breathing room.

"At the root of our success," said Bubon, "has been the great flowering of a body of literature by and about women that was just beginning when we first opened our store in the late 1970s."
