It's a nice book store but they only have a small section of books that I'm looking for and not enough hardcover books in what I'm interested in the staff is very nice though

This tiny bookstore in the basement of Macy’s rounded out my Chicago trip. It’s such a tiny store, but I still enjoyed it anyway. The basement also has the sweets and wine display plus seating. I can see folks purchasing a book here and then sitting to read and munch on dessert. Overall, very wholesome lil bookstore.

It's in the basement of the Macy's!! Maybe that's common knowledge but it took me a while to find it. Great store!

Hello Mr. Thistlewaite. That book seems to currently be out of print. However, here are some resources for you. You can borrow that book from several libraries here: https://www.worldcat.org/title/decaturs-growth-as-a-railroad-centre-1854-1954-and-before-after-with-a-complete-listing-of-railroad-companies-in-decatur-from-the-beginning-to-the-present-1994/oclc/31631220#borrow Also, you may want to read this interesting site by Milikin University, which refers to Jack Aldrich, but also has lots of information about railroads. Hope this helps! https://millikin.edu/staley/about-library/university-archives/online-exhibits/railroads
