“Outstanding locally owned, independent bookstore. A terrific community institution with great selection. Staff recommendations are truly excellent and will lead you to books beyond the best seller lists. Everything a local book shop should be. Worth your support.”

“I just needed a place to kill half an hour out of the cold, but I ended up biking home with a messenger bag full of books. Lovely atmosphere, good selections, interesting music”

“Super quaint shop that's got an extensive collection of religious/philosophical texts, Buddhist symbols, and Tibetan clothing/art. The prices are a little on the higher end (I spent $60 on my first visit for a book, two mala bracelets, and a print), but I didn't mind because it was supporting a local business. The shop owner escaped Tibet at age 7 and immigrated to the US after living for years in India. They've got a great knowledge of local Buddhist community gatherings/groups, as well as information about how you should plan your trip if you ever travel to Tibet. A must-visit in the NorthShore area for any of the sangha -- beginners or long-term practitioners-- as well as folks interested in learning about other cultures.”

“Expansive bookstore with tons of NU logo'ed purple goodies! Check out the stuff for dogs. Adorable wildcat mini plush toy Keychain is a sure winner for anyone. Welcoming friendly staff go out of their way to help. Excellent university bookstore. And right next to a convenience type market.”

“Did they grow too fast or something else happen?I was gifted a subscription a few years ago and it was absolutely amazing. Honestly got me back into reading fiction after a very long hiatus. I’d look forward to each new book and effusively recommend to friends and family since my first selection. Just flat out greatWas gifted my third subscription this year. Got a notice that they were running late and did eventually receive two great picks in March… but nothing since. Have written a number of emails, but similar to other recent reviewers have had no response. I’m still holding out a shred of hope that they get it together, but getting pretty sad about losing something so awesome”
“Amazing spot with a great selection of kid’s titles but also a curated list of adult books, and they can order almost anything. The staff are extremely helpful and knowledgeable and the shop is often hosting event with authors reading their books for kids. Little ones will LOVE the kid door. Convenient to Main Street stop on CTA purple line or Metra, make a day of it and stop by one of the many restaurants on the same block or down one block on the other side of the train.”
