140 Della Ct, Carol Stream“Anderson's Bookshop is a community treasure. Every single community needs a book store like this.I love the book selection, friendly staff, rewards program, and amazing events. Because of Anderson's Bookshop, I have attended some amazing book readings from Kristin Hannah to Jodi Picoult.”
“My 4 year old and I visited today for the first time. The owner did a wonderful job showing us around, asking about our interests, and helping us find some great picks. She started with my son and once he'd grabbed books like it was a library, she showed him where he could peruse his finds so I could have the chance to find something for myself. She helped him find a bookmark he was excited about, which she makes herself. She also helped me reinforce the book limit I set for him, even though he ended up deciding to use his own earned money on the rest he'd selected. She even asked me first if he could pick a candy, which I especially appreciated since my other child has a food allergy. The books are in very good condition, for having all been donated. We had a nice afternoon enjoying our new books and will definitely be back!”

306 W Geneva Rd, Wheaton“All I can say is, Thank you.Definitely taking my Grandma here next time she flies out to visit the family.She is a huge believer & I know for a fact she will love it too.”
“A fun bookstore with every title you can imagine. I loved the different book set ups in the kids area. They also have a train station table which my daughter loves. My only feedback is I wish they had more areas to sit down and read a few of the books. My toddler brought back a stack of books she wanted to flip through. We made it work and found a spot on the floor. I highly recommend Anderson's, I can't wait to be back solo to check out other titles.”
“This woman owned independent bookstore has a great selection of books, fantastic recommendations and is continuously promoting diversity, inclusion and literacy. WHAT MORE COULD WE WANT!”
“Made an order over the phone from out of state. Absolutely perfect customer service! Book came in exactly as described over the phone and was very well packaged. Highly recommend!”

1470b E Golf Rd, Schaumburg“A fun bookstore. Cafe inside. Friendly cashiers. Quiet. Close to other shopping & food. They would do well to have a better variety of books in some sections/departments.”

306 Geneva Rd, Wheaton“Really neat bookshop. Wide range of books and items. One of my favorite places to buy crystals, sage and tarot cards. Super friendly staff. Overall a great place!”
“Outstanding selection of books in a well-organized store. I especially appreciated the section where the staff selected their favorites, and there are little sticky notes explaining what the book is. It's worth a visit for fellow book-lovers.”

800 S Rohlwing Rd, Addison“What a great facility! A little confusing on the check in…. I think you need to check in before you shop. I don’t really know. I’ve been here a few times and each time, I find cool things for my classroom. Lately, I’ve need stem stuff for an afterschool club and scarce has not disappointed with options or ideas. Thank you.”
10AM - 5PM
255 Town Square, Wheaton“A cozy book shop hidden just south of town. There is a good variety of topics and the woman working there was a pleasure to talk to. It's definitely a great spot for a book lover to stop in!”
“Great staff and awesome selection. Best Half Price Books location. Found some cool mythology books and transformers movies. They had a great 20% off sale recently”
“I stop at this store every few weeks to see what's new. The comic book section is small, but the pricing is reasonable for the most part with exception of the uncommon/special issues, which I've found to be higher than comic shops and eBay. The graphic novel section is full and diverse.
There is usually a good selection of board games at this store and reasonable pricing. Video games is lackluster but that's probably due to the Disc Replay in the same shopping center.
The book selection is good with a decent assortment in niche topics.
I often find some worthwhile items in clearance at this store.”
“I will admit that I wasn’t smart enough to attend here, but I am now smart enough to shop here! Great selection of swag and gifts for all my Wheatie friends. There’s easy parking out front and super pleasant staff within! GO THUNDER! (Wait, do they say that!?)”
“Great shipper and great with local auction houses! If you are an Art Buyer or Dealer and work with auction houses or Live Auctioneers or Invaluable. Make sure you reach out to Harry at Mr Shipper. Great company and excellent communication!”
9AM - 4:30PM
800 S Rohlwing Rd Unit D, Addison“This place is a hidden gem for media lovers. They have a great selection of records and CDs, as well as DVDs and books.The priced are very reasonable. They may not have everything you're looking for, but that's the fun of used record stores.”
“This is a good store to go to if you’re shopping for calendars. Make sure you go when they are heavily discounted. I went today and it was 75% off. We were able to get two calendars for $6.73. Besides calendars, they also have puzzles, board games, etc. I recommend checking them out. Just a FYI, they do open later than some of the other stores. On Sundays, they opened at noon. Service was good. It’s located close to the kiddie haircut place.”
“Very big clean store, the guy at the door was pleasant, the store looked nice, but I was there for the arcade, there was plenty of booths, and bystanders around, I felt uncomfortable as the arcade area is too bright for me, I almost felt like I was in the spotlight I feel the area should be a little less lit and have more discretion. I may go back and enjoy the booths which I went in the first place and wiped out”
10AM - 7PM
116 Danada Square W, Wheaton“We have used this Party City for years, but had an especially good experience on Wednesday. I was picking up balloons for my son's birthday and one of the balloons was a little deflated. The 2 gentlemen working noticed the balloon (I had not) and immediately offered to refill it and also gave me a replacement balloon in case the one that I had purchased did not last. They were so kind and worked quickly to resolve a problem I had not noted myself. They were right though because the balloon did not last and the backup was perfect.”
“Convenient. Got books you need for class, stationary supplies, book bags, school swag, and candy. Everything slightly more expensive but when you need those gloves for lab it's worth it.Order ahead for stressless pickup.”
“I've lived close by for 20 years and never realized that they have a mini store right inside the main entrance with children's books, Bibles, study guides and some fiction books, all at discounted prices. The staff person was kind and helpful, I'll be returning!”
