Also check out the online music store to find music from oldies to electronica.

Subterranean Books is a favorite bookstore for many bookworms who appreciate more of an underground culture. You'll still find some classics, but you'll also find fun novelty books, great art collections, and books by authors who are more popular with the underground crowd than the mainstream. The bookstore is small, but it is packed with some great finds. You'll be surprised how long you can spend perusing the shelves and adding books to your wish list. You can also pick up some nice notebooks and stationery. This store accepts credit cards, but as it is a small, independently owned operation, they ask that you use cash whenever possible.

Left Bank Books should be a first stop for newcomers to St. Louis. Located in the Central West End, it offers the feeling of a bookstore that might be found in Chicago's Hyde Park community, including information about everything that's going on in the area and books on how to find it. Left bank, as with other resale bookstores, has treasures that popular, franchise booksellers just can't provide. Also, unlike many resale and vintage bookstores, they carry new and used best sellers, popular titles, and old favorites. Authors from all over the world come to promote their projects, sign books, and share expertise through lectures. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and even the store cat likes visitors.
