Globus Books is a lovely little bookstore packed with fiction and nonfiction. It features a huge, curated selection of Russian books, plus titles in Ukrainian, Belarusian, German, and English, including translations. The collection has a progressive focus and includes literature, history, and topics like ballet and Russian Romanticism. The staff is incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and helpful. The store has a great vibe and that classic book smell, with shelves lined from floor to ceiling. They offer pretty quick shipping with careful packaging and good pricing. It is a splendid specialty shop, a little gem totally worth visiting.
Good selection of Russian books with a progressive focus. I previously had them ship a book on LGBT Russian history and just put in a new order for Anna Akhmatova and a book on Russian emigration. Pretty quick shipping and I prefer them to my local (Chicagoland) bookstore.

Splendid specialty book store. The majority of books are not in English (Russian, Ukrainian, German) but they have an amazing collection.The lady in the store spent time discussing ballet and Russian Romanticism with me (the topics for which I was book hunting) and was very knowledgeable.

I loved the vibe when I walked into Globus Books. When I stepped through the door I was immediately absorbed by the enormous collection of Russian/Ukrainian & other literature. The store owner helped me find exactly what I was looking for to aid in my studies. 100% will revisit!
