“Went here to look for a worry stone, the staff was so friendly and helpful. I wanted a specific color and they went in the back to look for me and found a stone that was just perfect. I will definitely be back.”

I had to leave a review today specifically to shout out an incredible employee named Carma.
I came into the store completely exhausted and running on empty after pulling a three-day marathon for a graduate school project. I was totally all over the place—forgetting things, asking a ton of questions, having to run out to my car for my wallet—basically a total space cadet.
Instead of making me feel rushed or judged, Carma treated me with the most beautiful, peaceful, and authentic kindness. Her name is incredibly fitting because she just radiates good energy. She was patient, deeply helpful, and made what could have been an embarrassing, stressful interaction feel completely comfortable.
We always hear about the bad experiences, but people like Carma are the reason customers keep coming back.
Half Price Books has a gem on their hands! Thank you, Carma!”
“A cozy book shop hidden just south of town. There is a good variety of topics and the woman working there was a pleasure to talk to. It's definitely a great spot for a book lover to stop in!”
“I can always find a nice card here for multiple occasions. I also like the personal gifts I have picked up over the years.
I have found great books for myself and my children enjoy browsing the store.
Bring in the store invokes calm and peaceful feelings. The staff are pleasant to speak to. One women expressed that she is blessed to have the job ?. I love it when an employee loves their job!”
“I visited the store and found a nice set of history books that are well over a century old. Each book was listed at $10. One of the books had damaged binding. I decided to try my luck and ask if I could get a discount on that book, and the manager pleasantly agreed and offered $5 / 50% off the book. Im very grateful for that! Thank you! This store is outstanding.”
“After visiting a couple art studios in woodfield mall where I had to talk myself into being even mildly interested in the pieces, I discovered Jen's Art through a Google search. Every piece jumped out at me. Her work is creative and inspiring.”
“Great shipper and great with local auction houses! If you are an Art Buyer or Dealer and work with auction houses or Live Auctioneers or Invaluable. Make sure you reach out to Harry at Mr Shipper. Great company and excellent communication!”
“??☕️Barnes & Noble is such a great spot for book shopping and spending quality time with friends. You can browse books at your own pace, grab a tea or coffee, and just relax.
My friends and I actually met here for a book club meeting, and it was perfect - comfortable chairs, spacious tables, and a calm, welcoming atmosphere that makes conversations flow easily.
Easy access and a cozy setup make this location ideal not just for shopping, but also for meeting, reading, and connecting. Highly recommend! ✨”
“The best local bookstore in the whole Chicagoland area. They have a great variety and hundreds of author events every year. The events are all very organized. Welcoming to all. Ask for Sammie and she will hook you up.”

“I took a tour of this business today and couldn't believe how emaculate the items were. If you're a teacher, this place is a MUST. If you're just a regular civilian, they have an impressive book, CD, and record selection. They handle repurposing so many things and with over +100 volunteers with specialization, they support non profits and schools all over the world with donated materials. Please stop in for anything from scrapbooking supplies to jewelry. Check their website for more info on what can be donated.”
“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”
“This is a good store to go to if you’re shopping for calendars. Make sure you go when they are heavily discounted. I went today and it was 75% off. We were able to get two calendars for $6.73. Besides calendars, they also have puzzles, board games, etc. I recommend checking them out. Just a FYI, they do open later than some of the other stores. On Sundays, they opened at noon. Service was good. It’s located close to the kiddie haircut place.”
“Very nice staff members, but the correct hours for summer 2024 are not posted anywhere, even on the storefront.
They are open this summer 2024 from: Monday-Thursday from 8am-4pm
They remain closed Friday-Sunday
Had to find this out the hard way, hope this helps someone else before making the long trip out and leaving back for home disappointed without your books.
When open, the store layout is easy to understand and lends to an easy shopping experience. It is kept very clean and tidy.”
“The best bookstore i ever been! I loved browsing all throughout it. Everywhere i looked there were more books to look at!. My new favorite for sure ❤❤❤❤ the owner is very lovely and kind.”
