Was looking for a cool local bookstore during our first time to Chicago and this was great! Had a good variety of books and cozy vibe.

nice selection, great atmosphere and good customer service. easily spent an hour wandering through and browsing. prices are what you expect for new books at a local store (cover price) - yes Amazon would be cheaper, but supporting a local business is priceless.

Got a ton of cool books here. Kind of a limited selection of used books but that’s fine! Lady at the desk gave me a free tote bag because I bought so many books. Will return if I come back to Chicago! :)

Visited this bookstore this summer and it did not disappoint! Love the interior and book selection. We asked the man at the front desk if they had any fnaf books and he said no. Shortly after he found us with a fnaf book in hand. My son was thrilled to have something fnaf from Chicago! Out of all the places we went on our vacation this is one we still talk about :)

Best storm shelter ever.Seriously, best book shop I've ever had the pleasure of patronizing. Very very well stocked and organized. Absolutely wonderful addition to our vacation. Easy to find, close to bus line.I didn't mean to buy so much but it was all there, books that I've had in my mind's list for awhile.Got to love and support independent booksellers because there is nothing like being able to go in and peruse the shelves.Definitely will come back on our next trip to Chicago!

My daughter and I hit this lovely little gem on our tour of bookstores we could walk to. They were great! We spent much time perusing the basement shelves and each came away with purchases. After going to our hotel, the teenager changed her mind on the book the chose so we went back to return it. They were absolutely wonderful. We hadn’t gotten a receipt, but they remembered us and were helpful and kind.Thank you! Highly recommend!!

Was on a quick one day trip to Chicago and had to find a bookstore! I'm really glad I found this one. The employees were great, the selection is terrific, and if I hadn't been hopping right on a plane I probably would've bought more than two books! Lots of stuff I hadn't seen before, both used and new. And very fair prices on the used books!

quintessential new/used bookstore in downtown Chicago. Incredibly charming and almost impossible to leave.

Truly a bookstore for the "couldn't be bothered" hipster scene. Yes, I looked for a neon PBR sign. LolFor browsers or to find a favored old tome -- I'd recommend Myopic, Uncharted, or a remainder from Unabridged-- you'll save money and time.

Nice 2 level bookstore with used and new books an have a nice selection or kids and adults. For now they said they don’t buy used books from the community but maybe in a few months they said. Nice staff. Oh and you must sanitize your hands as soon a you enter which I think is a good ask bc you will be touching books.
