As bookstores go, it’s hard to beat Dial's literary pedigree: it’s housed in the Fine Arts Building, once headquarters to groundbreaking modernist magazines The Little Review, Poetry and the eponymous Dial. Honey-colored hardwood floors and massive windows overlooking Grant Park set a handsome stage for browsing new and used fiction, art tomes and local literary mags.
