Greedy Reads Makes Top Indie Bookstore List

September 13, 2021. Our Greedy Reads  garners a spot on the USA Today list of "30 cool indie bookstores across the country that you'll want to check out."

Greedy Reads, Remington

Founder Julia Fleischaker opened her independent bookstore after working in the publishing industry for nearly 20 years.  The Fells Point location did so well she decided to take a chance and open one in our semi-literate neighborhood.  A bold move considering many people, including myself have moved to ebooks or bought hard copies online at discount prices.  But Greedy Reads books are carefully curated and the wide variety of titles make it hard to resist dropping in to grab an eye-catching title displayed in the huge show window.  Then, of course, you have to peruse all the games, puzzles, tote bags, and t-shirts.  I rarely escape with a charge under $50.

The shop on 320 West 29th Street was originally the location of the old Continental Oil Building.  (See my Remington Renaissance blog for more details about the old building.)  JHU occupies the top floor (and about every other building around Greater Remington).  

Greedy Reads is the only Maryland bookstore to make the list, so, kudos to Julia and condolences to Atomic Books.
