Anderson's is a community treasure - a place where you can quietly peruse the ever evolving selection of books, talk to the incredibly knowledgeable and friendly staff, and pick up greeting cards and gifts along the way. There's nowhere I'd rather spend an hour, especially on a crisp, rainy day.

Every time I go to Anderson’s, I find what I want. The staff is exemplary; they’re knowledgeable and go out of their way to assist in any way they can. This store, and the staff, are the best of the best!!

Anderson’s Bookstore is a wonderful small local business in Downers Grove. I love cookbooks, so when I want to treat myself once in a while to a new one, Andersons’s is my go to. I have also purchased many gifts for family and friends from them.

Anderson's Bookshop is quite literally my "happy place". I love browsing the shelves, reading the recommendations, the amazing employees that are there, I even love the smell when I walk in! My son also loves coming here and they have phenomenal kids/teen/young adult sections. It is such a welcoming and inviting place. I can't possibly imagine Downers Grove without it! Whenever my family comes from out of town we almost always stop by.

This bookstore has everything your heart could desire and then some. They'll order books for you if they aren't available as well. Support Indie bookstores!

What a wonderful place! I live in Missouri but my son and his wife live in Chicagoland and frequent this bookstore. They enjoy their selection of books and love their virtual author events. I have been able to call and buy them gifts for Christmas and Birthdays! The staff is always helpful and friendly! We were actually able to visit the store last summer with our family. It is warm and invites you to browse and find exactly what you are looking to buy. Thank you Anderson’s for being the go to bookstore for myself and my family.

Very quaint bookshop located in the heart of downtown Downers Grove.My family and I have been coming here for about 30 years and we love it. The staff is helpful and friendly. If they dont have something in stock, they quickly call their Naperville store and put it on hold for you if they have it.They even have fun toy sections for kids, great science books, and last time I was there they even had some fun bar soaps - didnt expect that.Id recommend stopping by to grab a good book.

Had exactly what I needed. Amazon couldn't get it to me in time, but I was able to pick up the book I wanted from Anderson SAME DAY! And they held their only copy for me so I wouldn't miss out! Thank you! Great experience and I will be back!

This was my first time at this location and it won't be my last! Went for the Joe Maddon book signing and it was extremely well organized and the line moved very fast. We zig zagged thru the store and noticed all the various items they sell..calendars...toys..craft kits and of course lots of books all organized in categories. Too bad the store was closed for this event so I definitely have to go back.

Went here for the Joe Maddon book signing event. It was very well organized. Got my book signed and a photo with him was taken by a professional photographer so the line moved super quickly. The store is stocked full for the upcoming holiday season with not only books but puzzles, games, toys, craft kits and calendars. The staff is super friendly so support local and enjoy shopping here and not on the A word.

Very helpful staff! The store was well organized and Luke’s recommendations helped find what I wanted. I will be coming back. Definitely recommend if you want to support a local book store.
