“A really great, independent bookstore. The staff is always friendly and helpful. They've also got a wonderful children's section, as well as a large selection of unique greeting cards, and some really fun gift items.”
“This is my favorite bookstore! There is a community activity or author storytime nearly every day. Although this store is primarily for children, the YA and Adult room are always stocked with new releases. Also if you can't find what your looking for, Carla will gladly order it for you. When in Lemont, grab a coffee from Folklore and then walk over to Three Stories - you won't be disappointed!”
“Some very rare finds that you simply can't get at chains like HPB. Frugal is right, the prices and quality of CDs and books is amazing. I almost feel silly and like I'm betraying myself, but if you're a collector or like finding that one magic novelty, head over here. Service and atmosphere also was top notch 👍”
“Such a cute store! Went the other day to look for some holiday gifts and spent over an hour just wondering around. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful. The toy selection was unique and well priced, and the Christmas decor was incredible! Definitely worth the drive!”
“Love this location every time we visit family near here. I was appreciative of the woman who helped explain the kids’ summer reading program to us and made sure we received our rewards.
My kiddos always practice and perform a short puppet show on the reading stage when we come here with the puppet toys nearby. Mom gets to enjoy a tea and kids get some creative arts time while we’re traveling. Win win.
We bought a pile of books which always helps for a hotel room stay.
This was the shopping highlight of this trip (which is a pretty big feat at Oak Brook mall).”
“10/10 library lots of books I get all my books here and the workers are always nice to me and my sister when we go there, they also have a subscription which gives you discounts on books its really great ever since we found this store our library expanded tenfold!”
“Half Price Books is a great place to find second-hand books at good prices, and the Downers Grove location has a particularly nice selection.
I was pleasantly surprised by some of the unique collections available, including special editions of books by J.R.R. Tolkien and a rich selection of science books and rare finds. I also enjoyed the art section, where you can find beautiful coffee-table books.
One of my favorite things about buying used books is discovering traces of their previous owners. Notes, inscriptions, old bookmarks, and other little memories left inside the books make the reading experience feel more human and personal.
The store is spacious and offers much more than books, with a good selection of stationery, notebooks, cards, plushies, vinyl records, tote bags, and T-shirts. The bathrooms were also very clean. Large parking lot available.
The staff were kind, knowledgeable, and efficient, making the overall experience very pleasant. A good place to browse if you enjoy second-hand books and the unexpected finds that come with them.”
“April from Gepettos made me Needoh dreams come true! I was trying to find the gum drop Needoh and she took the one she was saving for herself out to buy and sold it to me. It was the most kind thing anyone had done in a long time. This store is amazing. They had the big Nice Cubes in stock too!”
“Excellent selection of World War 2 books & military history. Katie was extremely helpful & knew exactly where to find what I was looking for. They also have CDs & casettes in addition to the vinyl. Very cool store in Villa Park.”

“I joined Unity of Oak Park in 2025, and I love it! Rev. Ev is a great minister, and the community is inclusive and multicultural. The music is phenomenal. Come on by and come on in!”
“Fantastic selection on African American and African history, biographies, children's literature, comic books with Black/Latino characters, selections of hair and skin care like shea butters, aprons, artwork by Black artists, teachers resources too.”
“The staff here are very knowledgeable and kind! The gentleman helping me choose my Bible gave great insight on selecting the right bible version for me. They have Bible options available for all versions to suit all readers. They stock different options in multiple colors and sizes also! They even have highlighters, tabs, and book marks! The two gentlemen on staff during my visit were very helpful and the shop has a great atmosphere! I will definitely be back!”
“Excellent university! I'm proud to have finished a degree there. The class room sizes are small and the staff and teachers were very helpful. Just a good Christian school.”

“I'm a proud alum of MVCC, and I couldn't say enough about how great this college is, or great of an education you will receive if you choose to attend.”
“When my son Joshua was receiving his first Holy Communion I needed to get a very special rosary beads for him and a prayer book . I ordered eveything over the phone with Sue and she was absolutely amazing and helped me pick the perfect items. In addition she also included in my order, completely free of charge, the most beautiful little wooden box/chest medal and rosary holder with a bible inscription from the book of Joshua. Everything arrived safely and was packaged beautifully. Sue will go above and beyond the call of duty to get the exact item one describes and if she does not have it in stock she will order it for you immediately. This is definitely the place to visit when you need that most unusual item. Quite frankly if I could give a 6 Star review I would do so with pleasure!!!”
“Definitely a one stop shop. They have everything you need for campus life. The employees are always helpful and so nice. I've been here many times, and never had anything short of a great visit. You can order online and pickup in store, or have it shipped to you. A must if you are a Dominican family! They have shirts for the youngest and the dogs.”

“It's great to see a stocked bookstore in the airport. May not be the best bookstore, but better than another fast food franchise or clothing store. The cashier was weirdly cold, but I got a book for my money.”
“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.”
“The people that work for this company are commendable and have good character which makes working with this company a great experience. Ashlie, Mary, and Ken are absolutely wonderful people. The campus stores are superior.”
“I love this place. The staff are great, the products available are amazing, and I love playing in the Yu-Gi-Oh tournaments too. I used to play competitive Yu-Gi-Oh at this location, building my Yu-Gi-Oh collection back up, and can't wait to come back, meet new people, form more connections, see old friends, and more! 10 out of 10 from me, dadgumit!!”
