Founded in 1970 under the name Amazon, well before the online book retailer of the same name; the store changed it name to True Colors during a change of ownership in late 2008. Boasts the title of the oldest independent feminist book store in North America. The store is practically a Minneapolis institution.

Uncle Hugo's dates back to 1974 while Uncle Edgar's dates back to 1980. Originally separate businesses, they have shared the same storefront since 1984. A treasure trove of used and new science fiction, fantasy, and mystery books. It is the oldest science fiction/fantasy book store in North America, and has a well-earned national reputation for its vast selection. The prices are reasonable and you can get an extra 10% off all purchases by buying a $4 discount card. If you're buying more than $40 worth of books, it pays for itself with the first purchase.
