Cindy: Books are in his blood

Books are in Nathan Huston’s blood. His dad was a used-book junkie who made the garage sale rounds with his son in tow. While still a student at Shadle Park High School, Huston took his first job at the now defunct Chalmers Books, organizing its comic book collection. Two and a half years ago, he opened his own shop – Giant Nerd Books on North Monroe. “I named it after myself,” he said, grinning. Sandwiched between Time Bomb Collectibles and Krunch Skate Shop, the store features tomes from the macabre to the mysterious and everything else in between/ Cindy Hval , SR. More here.
