What Are The Best & Worst Cities For Book Lovers?

Without consulting any studies, statistics, or polls, I would say that the best cities for book lovers are those with literate, educated, and book loving people. I would think places with lots of intellectual entertainment centers ---museums, theaters, bookstores, libraries, colleges -- would be where biblipphiles are drawn to. Based on that, I’d rank these cities as book-loving places:

1. New York City
2. Los Angeles
3. Boston
4. Chicago
5. Austin
6. Nashvillie
7. West Palm Beach
8. Minneapolis
9. Houston
10. Atlanta
11. Denver
12. Portland
13. Washington, D.C
14. Seattle
15. Providence

However, that is just based on my gut instinct. I have little to back any of this up. But www.lawnlove.com recently ranked the best cities for book lovers. Their formula included access to public libraries, book stores, book clubs, events, and Little Free Libraries.  

Their Top 10 locations are: 

 

1. Pasadena, CA
2. Seattle, WA

4. Eugene, OR
5. NY, NY
6. Portland, OR
7. Alexandria, VA
8. Garden Grove, CA
