Four "Dallas-unique independent bookstores" were showcased by Visit Dallas, which noted that the bookshops "are more than a place to pick up your next vacation read, they are spaces that bring people together and cultivate culture to share with the Dallas community. So grab a friend or venture out solo for a day of reading, learning, engaging, and maybe even a little drinking."
The highlighted booksellers included the Wild Detectives, ("little slice of literary heaven was a dream made reality by two friends"); Deep Vellum Books ("mission is to bring literary works by marginalized writers to help amplify their voice and enrich the Dallas community with diverse literature"); Interabang Books ("over 12,000 hand-selected titles for both adults and children and a knowledgeable staff eager to assist"); and Lucky Dog Books ("large selection of affordable books and media that will mesmerize any bibliophile").
