One of my favorite independent bookstores in St. Louis. Left Bank Books has a great selection, fantastic staff, a cozy space for browsing, and spotting the shop cat (hi Orleans!) is always a bonus. Left Bank Books is also incredibly supportive of writers and the local literary community. I did a reading here years ago for my poetry collection and they handled everything beautifully, from setup to social media promotion to making sure the books were fully stocked. I love this place as both a reader and a writer. A wonderful bookstore to support
