There’s something magical about a bookstore that can instantly change your frame of mind. No matter how your day is going, walking into a shop filled with books and taking a deep breath is bound to leave you feeling happier and more relaxed than before. There’s one bookshop in Lincoln that offers that feeling in spades, and you’ll want to keep going back.
A Novel Idea Bookstore has been providing the good people of Lincoln with essential literature since 1991. The shop started life in an unheated basement, but has since moved into this lovely space on 14th Street.
