Lonely Planet review for Idlewild Books
One of the best new indie bookshops to open in recent years, Idlewild is a great shopping destination when planning or even daydreaming about travel. Books are divided by region and cover guidebooks as well as fiction, travelogues, history, cookbooks and other stimulating fare when wanting to delve into a country. The big windows overlooking the street, high ceilings and world globe display (all for sale) add to the charm. Check ‘Events’ on the website for Idlewild’s lineup of readings and book-launch parties, sometimes with drinks, music and dance.
