Was visiting Chicago for one day, lots of bookstores to choose from but I could only pick one due to time crunch, luckily I think I made the best choice. Was a cool little bookstore, small children’s section, but cheap prices! And then straight to the wildlife section where I found 3 keepers. As I was trying to walk out I kept getting pulled back in by all the other things you can buy like bookmarks, cards, art prints and stickers. Great bookstore experience for me.

Favorite bookstore of all time. Could get lost in here for hours. Tons of unique finds and out of print books in great condition and at even better prices. Love this spot.

A fun, surreal act of literary whimsy. The space is eclectic, the selection is wide and the organization is chaos in the best way. I found several odd first editions and rare finds and plenty things I’ve never seen anyplace else - if you’re in the neighborhood, definitely stop in

A charming neighborhood bookstore with a great selection of used books. It can be a bit tricky to find something specific since there are so many books and not all are cataloged, but that’s part of the fun — you never know what hidden gem you’ll stumble upon! I found Needful Things by Stephen King, first edition, first printing, for just $7.50 ($8.26 including tax), while it’s listed for $40 on Amazon—an absolute steal! If you love browsing and discovering unexpected treasures, this place is worth a visit.

One of my favorite used bookstores in Chicago, if not the country! So adorable and cozy inside and full of interesting and unique photos, trinkets, old records, and of course the used books. There are all kinds of books of varying genres and a cozy area to read as well.

visited here today with my friends for the first time in forever, reminded me of how much i enjoyed it before! amazing shop with a ton of interesting books & other small misc items for sale. prices are pretty fair and the guy at the front is super nice!

My friends and I used to frequent this book store, back when i lived in the area, more than 15 years ago. Glad to know it still exists! They'd host weekly events here back then; just a little get-together where some people would read poetry, some people would sing, play instruments. It was cozy. I hope they still do that here.
