Micawber Books

This is the former location of Micawber Books a local retailer for over 25 years. It served as the independent bookdealer for the town and as a textbook provider for the university. This was a highly regarded local business and tourist destination and had a high quality assortment of titles from academic presses and also featured one of the best children's book departments in the country. The owners sold the business in early 2007 to make way for a University plan to reorganize their use of downtown. This included bringing in Labyrinth Books which now resides several doors down from The old Micawber site. Labyrinth books is now the sole Textbook distributor for the University and also serves well as an independent bookstore for the community.
