There are so few bookstores left in Montgomery that a story listing them would be a short story indeed! 😎

At, or at least toward, the top of that list would be the store that for a while changed its name to "Read Herring"  (as shown in this old photo) before fortunately returning to the original New South name.

The store is located in downtown Montgomery at 105 South Court Street.
