Stop by Curious Book Shop, East Lansing’s iconic used and rare bookshop that’s been around since 1969. Spanning three floors and carrying over 50,000 (yes, you read that right) well-organized books, magazines and other paper items, prepare to spend a good bit of time in Curious.
Though the inventory covers pretty much all genres, the shop specializes in science fiction, mystery, children’s books and Michigan history to name a few. Owner and MSU alum Ray Walsh’s shelves have a little bit of everything, so don’t hesitate to ask the knowledgeable staff for recommendations.
