What John K. King Used & Rare Books is known for
Operating since 1965 and housed in a former glove factory at 901 W. Lafayette Blvd since 1983, the main store shelves more than a million used and rare books across four floors with no in-store computers. Aisles are organized by hand, and a rare-book room upstairs holds first editions and antiquarian finds.
