Visible Voice Books was founded with a simple mission - to provide the kind of bookstore experience that can't be had at the big box stores. As time has passed and the big box bookstores have risen to prominence, the experience of encountering books has changed. It's hard to wander around chain bookstores and make discoveries, meet new authors, encounter unexplored topics. That's what Visible Voice Books is all about - discoveries. Visible Voice Books, opened in February 2007, is an independent bookstore with a community feel.
The Cleveland independent media center is part of the worldwide network of collectively run media outlets creating radical, accurate, and passionate tellings of truth. We work out of love and inspiration for the people who continue to work for a better world, despite corporate media's distortions and unwillingness to cover the efforts to free humanity.
Mac's Backs has three floors of new and used books and is located in Coventry Village, a walking neighborhood just minutes from Cleveland's museums and Case Western Reserve University. We have a large selection of classics, mysteries, science fiction, and non-fiction. Mac's Backs also hosts readings, book signings, author events, storytelling, book clubs, and writing groups.
