“A large variety of current and past books by old and new authors. Also CDs and small gifts and keepsake items for giving excellent customer service. Along with the delicious sit down and relax area and even further in the back there is an area to read on beautiful leather sofas. Well done, and thoughtfully designed .”
“I recently visited Open Books in Logan Square, and it was a surprisingly enjoyable experience! Even though I’m not an avid reader, I found the atmosphere of the store to be warm and inviting. The space is filled with a diverse selection of books, from popular bestsellers to unique finds, which made browsing quite enjoyable.
The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, ready to assist with recommendations if needed. I appreciated how they seemed genuinely passionate about books, which added to the overall positive vibe of the store.
I found it interesting to explore the different genres and see what caught my eye. There were plenty of intriguing titles that piqued my curiosity, and my friend left with a couple of books that he's excited to read.
I also admire Open Books for its commitment to promoting literacy and supporting the community. Knowing that my purchases contribute to such a worthwhile cause made the visit even more rewarding.
Overall, if you’re in the Logan Square area, I recommend checking out Open Books. Whether you’re a book lover or just looking for something interesting to explore, it’s a charming spot worth visiting!”
“Wonderful collection of horror films (with the best little write-ups accompanying some titles), a great queer horror book section, and great music and vinyl collection too! Staff is always great too”
“This is the 3rd place I’ve been looking for and the closest thing I have found to my nostalgic 90’s comic book store I grew up with. A place where staff- get this actually interact with you. It’s refreshing- they have great stock, the name is badass, & the vibes are great.I love that the first time I was in the store and Wes Anderson’s, Fantastic Mr Fox was playing and the quote “But In The End, He's Just Another Dead Rat In A Garbage Pail Behind A Chinese Restaurant." was muttered in the background. I chuckled and contained on to enjoying every moment I was in there. Keep it up guys!”
“Loved the selection, especially the sections highlighting Palestine and Arab Heritage Month in April. The space was larger than I was expecting, the store goes in quite deep. There were a lot of people in the store on the Saturday that I visited, which was great to see. Will be back!!”
“We love this neighborhood bookstore. The selection is amazing and they'll order whatever they don't have in stock if you ask. They're the best, support your local bookstores!”
“Phenomenal used bookstore. I love a place that looks like it goes on forever and this one has that old school, disheveled vibe. However, everything here is beautifully organized by genre and author/subject so it’s easy to find whatever you’re looking for. These days I’m always hunting for 40s/50s sci-fi paperbacks and Myopic had just about the biggest selection I’ve seen in recent years. Grabbed myself five cool titles in great shape for about $22. They had an impressive selection of art books as well and music books (the other types of books I usually hunt down) so I’ll be back when I’ve got more time to dig into those sections.”
“I made an online order for a couple books to be delivered to a friend in Oak Park for her baby shower. The staff packaged the shipment as a gift, kept me updated with emails on the status, and they even ended up shipping the books even earlier than I expected. It was a really smooth process and they were so kind and helpful in each email interaction. I will be recommending the Book Table to my friend as a her go-to bookstore in Oak Park if it isn’t already.”
“Absolutely incredible collection of the bizarre and underground. Independent publishers and books and magazines you won't find anywhere else. One of the greatest bookstores in the world.”
“One of the best record shops left in Chicago!
Are real gem, always my first place to look for great records cds, VHS and cassettes as well! Not to mention all of the cool incense pins and posters! They don't make stores like this anymore... Stop in and support a local legend! Guaranteed to find something you've always wanted”
“This is the kind of bookstore I remember from my youth but is almost extinct now. A labyrinth of books with gems hidden everywhere. If you're looking for a tight organizational system, accessible aisles/stairways, or pre priced books welllll: go elsewhere. This place rules and I'm so glad it exists”
“In a world where bookstores have all but disappeared due to the digital age and competition, it is nice to see Barnes and Noble is still thriving. This location is a nice entrance into Oakbrook Mall. This location has 2 stories with a Starbucks located on the second level.”
“I found this gem while driving by yesterday and had to check it out! I was met with such helpful and welcoming service plus a great selection of church history, commentaries, theology/doctrine and more! I can’t wait to come back and hang out there a little longer. ?”
“Great local book store with a decent selection and fair pricing. All of the staff are wonderful, and if they don’t have a book in stock they can quickly order it for you.”
“Amazing little polish bookstore. When in doubt, you can always call ahead to see availability of a title. Lady there is very friendly and very helpful. Amazing experience.”
“Awesome products that aren’t only books but also stickers and bookmarks(and totes, cups, candles etc.) inspired by some of the best written romances. Owner restocks frequently and covers all the niches of romance books. Great place to sift through gems and really indulge in the aesthetic of books you love.”
“What a fun find! Coffee is quite good and I appreciated the eclectic selection of books they had on display. I will say that some of the sections seemed better curated than others, so unfortunately I’m leaving 4 stars instead of 5 since this place doesn’t quite land on the top echelon of book stores I’ve been to. Still it’s quite nice and more interesting than the average cafe, so you should definitely check it out. Recommended!”
“Wonderful Service and inventory! The Owner has a heart to serve and creates an atmosphere the Spirit can thrive in & will lead you to the right choice! Absolutely recommend visiting!!!”
“I saw an ad on Facebook for an outdoor rug for $40 so I decided to go there to see them. This was my main reason for going. I walked in and thought, "Oh,no!" this isn't going to be good. The store has so many cute items at good prices. The employee, Mike, was wonderful. He gave me the best customer service I have had in a very long time. He helped me with the rug, he helped me find a purple colored umbrella that I just had to have for $14.99, I found a great smelling candle for $7.99 and a giant sun and moon metal art for my patio wall for $39.99. Mike was very helpful, friendly and even helped me carry the large rug to my van. I will return for sure! I'm so glad I went to the store to shop. A+ experience! Thanks Mike”
“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.”

“Amazing selection of books- if it's not there- it will be ordered. The owner is friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Definitely will be returning in the future!”
“I had great experience tonight at barnes and nobles, because jonathan and Carla were so nice and helpful!
I bought books from their website and paid with PayPal. But I needed to return some of the books. Unfortunately I wasn't aware that I couldn't have the money refunded to my original payment method because PayPal doesn't give a card so they could only return it for store credit.
But I don't shop at barnes and nobles often so I didn't want the store credit. I was originally going to ship it back, but I would have to pay for shipping myself. And shipping 4 heavy books is very expensive.
But jonathan and Carla were very patient with me, and offered me a 1 time courtesy of them shipping it back on my behalf. I really appreciated their help. Their kindness definitely made my day.”
“Always a wonderful experience when visiting. Staff is always super friendly and readily available to help. They’ve been able to find books for me I’ve searched weeks trying to find.”
“I just bought my first Quran from here it arrived sooner than expected and in perfect condition.Hands down best customer service that went above and beyond to help me. Staff members were friendly and resourceful I definitely recommend 10/10.I’m looking forward to visiting the store in person for my next purchase.”
“The people that work there are so nice and helpful. Thank you for your outstanding customer service. I picked up two books today and I will definitely be back in the future.”
“A wonderful place with very friendly and welcoming staff! They offer a great selection of devotional articles, souvenirs, and religious books. Whether you're looking for a meaningful gift, something for a special religious occasion, or simply something to deepen your faith, you will definitely find it here. Highly recommend!”
“Barbara's bookstore is a great place to grab a book or magazine or gift for someone while traveling traveling through Chicago's O'Hare airport. The staff at these bookstores are extremely helpful and knowledgeable in regards to All things relating to books! They have a computer system and can look all the books they have. I also appreciate they have helpful items for kids like drawing books, markers colored pencils. I had to stop here because I forgot my reading glasses and they had a wide selection to choose from.”
“My car Toyota Prius 2018 was damaged in an accident (see photo)Why I recommend this company:1. I always received a calm and clear answer to all my questions2.

“The owner of the bookstore, Bishop, is deeply wise, poetic, and knowledgeable. He is an authentic priest with ancestral links to Vodou, indigenous, and sought after occultic traditions. He has rare and cultivated abilities in magick of the highest order -- if you seek his care and knowledge, you will be blown away by his otherwordly presence! More than that, he has a generous and loving spirit and cares deeply for the community he serves. You are in the best hands with Bishop. The store's specialty seems to be in preserving occultic heritage and older and rare relics, so that's good to keep in mind.”
