Renaissance Books
Renaissance Books is a large independent bookstore in downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin, specializing in used books. Founded in the early 1960s by George John and Erwin Just, it is now owned by Robert John, George's younger brother.〔"Shabby Image Threatens to Cost Airport Bookstore Its Lease", ''Wall Street Journal'', July 9, 1980〕 The store's main building (a former furniture warehouse) is five stories high (plus the two-story building next door and another down the block) housing somewhere from 350,000 to 600,000 volumes. The ''New York Times'' described it as "like a book collector’s attic, with boxes of used books lining the floor of this century-old former furniture store. But it’s more organized than it looks, with about a half-million books parceled among dozens of categories ('animal husbandry' 'theater practices and problems')".〔[http://travel.nytimes.com/2008/10/05/travel/05hours.html Casey, Maura J. "36 Hours in Milwaukee: 10 a.m. 4) BIBLIOPHILE’S DELIGHT" ''New York Times'' October 5, 2008〕〔[http://www.onmilwaukee.com/market/articles/bookstores.html "Used bookstores in Milwaukee"], OnMilwaukee.com, July 3, 2000〕 The local ''Milwaukee Journal Sentinel'' described it as, "bursting at the seams with used books... easy to get lost among the mazelike shelves."〔Frank, Nicholas. "Downtown Shops Fulfill Wish List Dream" ''Milwaukee Journal Sentinel'' Nov. 9, 2000: Holiday Lights Festival Supplement, pages 2, 6〕

They are kind of funky and it is a very Milwaukee thing."〔(Luongo, Michael T. "Holiday Shopping on the Fly" ''New York Times'' Business Day section, December 11, 2012 )〕
