I never thought I would get to say "Fremont Street" and "literary" in the same breath!
Drew, the owner, has borne to Las Vegas it's one and only independent book store carrying new books! The atmosphere is delightfully curious, and the selection of books is respectable, considering the shop's diminutive size.
There is also event space, a hidden secret forest where youth writing workshops and bookclubs are held.
This little gem of east Fremont is also kitty-corner from PublicUs, if you must find a place to sit, sip, and read asap.
