Incredible place. Proud to call it my local bookstore. Excellent breadth of genres and topics available, including a thrilling grab-bag back table where I've found some true gems. Xylon and the rest of the team are always welcoming, making me feel right at home. Even if I can't find the book I'm looking for, they will order it for me directly through the distributor, eschewing Amazon and their industry-harming loss-leader book sales policy. Recommend Open Books to any Chicagoan or visitor looking for an engaging read.

Such a great selection - new and used books. Bring your books to donate for a great cause, and leave with some new books yourself. Highly recommend. Great kids’ selection too!

I went here once. I need to bring my partner back with me. Huge selection. I ended up finding a book that was recommended to me in the staff picks section. I love how much seating there is, too. Community hub vibes

What a great place! They helped me find the book I was looking for. Everything is well organized and the prices are reasonable. You can check their website before you go if you're looking for something specific. Be sure to check out the second floor. It's as big as the first floor.

I LOVE OPEN BOOKS! It was my first time going to this location. I’ve been to the one in west loop which I might like more bc it felt better organized. the signs here for each section were a little small and sometimes i couldnt find them. but they do have an upstairs with a couch and everyone’s friendly. best prices and best selection in the city. i spent $30 for 4 books which would have each cost at least $17 each at a new book store. i love it. cant wait to go back

My dentist is near the library and let me tell you I am excited when I have dentist appointments because when I get out of the dentist I go straight here and buy multiple books as I can.It's my routine.I will forever be a regular here amazing book choices love that there's a second floor too and I love how neat it is. Everything is labeled and not all over the place. Amazing song choices to.I love every single thing about this place it's my comfort place I recommend it to anyone.A very safe cozy place all my worries disappear here. Thank you for whoever thought of opening a library here.
