Left Bank Books is an independent bookstore located in the Central West End. According to its website, it was founded in 1969. Today it remains locally owned, and it offers many interesting titles about topics that are sometimes difficult to find in chain bookstores. Left Bank Books also has a cat-in-residence whose name is Spike.
Peat Wollaeger painted the cake at the bookstore. It is covered in a multitude of eyes and a couple of grinning faces. All the eyes on the cake could only read a fraction of the books offered in Left Bank Books’ inventory, so stop on by sometime!
