Some of the most interesting places to browse are bookstores – especially used bookstores. You never know exactly what you will find, but you can be guaranteed that it’ll be unique. You’ll come across everything from bestsellers to long out-of-print tomes – and everything in between. Luckily for Minnesotans, there are plenty of used bookstores in our state. That includes the massive used book store we’d like to feature today. Midway Books has been a treasure trove of great finds for decades, and it remains one of the best places to browse books in Minnesota today. Check it out:

Midway Books is a bookstore in the Midway neighborhood of St. Paul, Minnesota. Open since 1965, this enormous two-story bookstore has been a go-to book shopping spot for more than 50 years.
