“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.”

“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.”

“Barbara's bookstore is a great place to grab a book or magazine or gift for someone while traveling traveling through Chicago's O'Hare airport. The staff at these bookstores are extremely helpful and knowledgeable in regards to All things relating to books! They have a computer system and can look all the books they have. I also appreciate they have helpful items for kids like drawing books, markers colored pencils. I had to stop here because I forgot my reading glasses and they had a wide selection to choose from.”

“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.”

“I ordered 4 puzzles and the packaging was fantastic, even after the delivery driver tossed the box at least 20 feet to deliver it, we are one of his last stops on his route. The exterior box was dented, but the puzzle boxes were not. I will definitely order again from this company. Thank you.”

“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”
