Dan Iddings
Biography
Dan Iddings is the owner of Classic Lines books and more in Squirrel Hill. A bibliophile all his life, Dan opened Classic Lines in October 2014. Classic Lines is the only general purpose bookstore in Pittsburgh. Although Classic Lines sells both new and used books, Dan knew there was a definite need for a bookstore that focuses on selling new titles. Classic Lines stocks over 10,000 titles for adults, young adults and children. It has the largest selection of new fiction, children’s, biography, history, music, art, cooking, gay and lesbian, poetry, religion and more in Pittsburgh. We are constantly expanding our local author and locally published sections. The store hosts numerous author events and poetry and prose readings each month. Classic Lines is also proud to be the official bookseller for Pittsburgh Arts & Lectures 2014/2015 season. Find Classic Lines on Facebook here.
