“One of my favorite Catholic gift shops in America. I always visit when I'm in the area and I don't even live in the State. God bless the Franciscans and Marytown.”
“Great local place to find books ? of several subjects and genres! Apart from the books, you can find souvenirs, accessories, etc. Starbucks coffee is another attraction along with deserts, cookies, etc. Very please environment. Friendly staff members. I would definitely recommend this place! A+”
“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.”
“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.”
“Thankful I had the opportunity to stop in at this beautiful independent bookstore, located right on the outside of Chicago. Barbar's Bookstore hosted an author event for Porsha Williams "Pursuit of Porsha" novel. From my first experience, to actually having the opportunity to meet Ms. Williams at the store, I had an amazing professional, kind and friendly interactions with both the team members at the bookstore as well as with Ms. William's team.Pursuit of Porsha, did not disappoint. The book was heartfelt, well written and enduring. Ms. William's Did an amazing job of taking the reader on a journey and a journey and explaining the how's and why's along the way. For the past few years or more, I have seen her on a wide media scale and it was very connecting to read about the journey getting there and who she is and was as a person before the person we would grow to learn to know. I highly recommend taking time to let this author into your world. Read she is kind and has an amazing story to share.”
“When a bookstore is more than just books, you venture into novelty gift shop territory and that can cheapen places like this. Fortunately Kinokuniya strikes a good balance of attracting new business while still selling books and in this case, Japanese literature. There's all sorts of Japanese books, manga, and magazines here. There's Japanese paper craft, candles, incense, puzzles, plushies, and so much more. It's delightful to peruse all the goodies in this shop.”
“It’s a bookstore, record store, movie store, used bookstore, used movie store, used record store, and so much more.I stopped by for one title, but could see myself spending hours in this location. The store is organized neat and clean. Many of the books are preowned, but have been well kept and gently used. The prices are very reasonable.I found the John Steinbeck title that I was looking for, East of Eden, but not in the edition I wanted. However, the price was exceptionally good and I could not pass it up.Recommended.”
“My wife and I didn't realize there was Half Price in Vernon Hills. Loved our visit here. My wife got discounted business books. Will be coming back for sure.”
“We was here yesterday and the staff was incredible. My 2 boys played while we shopped around. Parker helped us when we had questions and all. We will definitely be back.”
“Great place. They are always happy to order something they don't have in stock. I would much rather support an actual book store than purchase something on-line from the "A" place even if it might be a few $ more.”

“I visited this store because I didn't want to wait for Amazon to deliver the book I wanted. I was surprised at the variety of books they carried. They are bit more expensive than Amazon but I love the Starbucks coffee shop inside that offers quiet space to work & sip. The Starbucks coffee does not accept Starbucks gift cards or rewards. The books are wonderfully organized and they offer unique and beautiful gift options. They also have board games, Puzzles and leather bound journals. I will definitely be returning when I need a place I can go to focus.”
