“Staff are so friendly and helpful. The selection is amazing and if you want anything they dont have, they'll order it for you. Plus, the books groups (for adults and kids) are really fun.”
“Great book store with many great finds over the years. Not very many rare book stores left in the Chicago area. This store reminds me of old times when you could find many old book shops.”
“I used to go to the last location and it definitely felt like a hidden gem it was great. The new location does feel more open less cramped than before. My only complaints is that the cooking section is tucked in a corner downstairs I wish it was more in the open. My other complaint is that I wish all the books had a price on them. I kept finding myself looking at a book trying to figure out the price. I didn’t want to go up to check out to find out the price especially when I was downstairs. Other than those issues the staff was very helpful and friendly. They do have more of a selection since the new location is bigger. I’d recommend stopping by if you’re around it’s worth the stop.”

“Tashi is such a nice person, he is so helpful, kind and considerate. The store has a wonderful calm feeling when you enter. There is a great variety of items from Nepal, plus other local areas as well. Thank you Tashi for keeping the doors open.”
“Norris Bookstore excels through the decades! My first experience here was in 1990 as an NU freshman—the staff were kind, helpful and efficient, making the whole experience so easy. Thirty-five years later, on the first day of Fall Quarter classes, I wandered into the bookstore this morning and the vibe is exactly the same—staff busily ensuring all the students, new and retuning alike, have just what they need to succeed in the classes. A special shout-out to General Mgr Steve who was in the aisles helping out a confused student—Steve was knowledgeable, empathetic and efficient. It’s wonderful to see the culture of this place has stayed true to the highest level of customer service through almost 4 decades!”

“We happened to be in Evanston during our Chicago trip and someone recommended us that we visit Squeezebox Books and Music. Given the book nerds we are, we did.
It’s a sublime place—rows and rows of books and records all neatly arranged, old interspersed with the new, and the resulting joy from finding a classic book or a record that reminds you of a time in your life is indescribable.
We spent hours here perusing. The staff were kind and polite. The jazz playing in the back room was inviting as well. :)
All in all, it’s a 10/10 bookstore!”
