“Such a delightful little store. My son and I were out on a wander and decided to pop in, and I'm so glad we did! They have a fantastic selection of children's books from some of our favorite authors and illustrators. It was so refreshing to see such a well-curated collection. We especially appreciated the beautiful secular holiday and winter books during the visit!”

“Convenient. Got books you need for class, stationary supplies, book bags, school swag, and candy. Everything slightly more expensive but when you need those gloves for lab it's worth it.Order ahead for stressless pickup.”

“I enjoy Barnes & Noble but I swear it is so difficult to find books in the children’s section at times because it doesn’t seem to follow much of a system for organization beyond a few categories.”

“This is so much more than a bookstore! Prairie Path really is a readers dream small store. They have a great selection of books but also beautiful cards, gifts and bookplates. Candles and stickers and fancy candies also. The cookbook selection is great but i loved that they had so many classics mixed in with new books. It is a place you should check out. They also will gift wrap your book for free”

“Too few book stores of any kind in this area. So this unexpected and excellent book shop in downtown Bartlett is a real treat. Great selection and wonderful staff (just the one super helpful "booklady", I believe). Please support this gem!”

“Anderson's is a community treasure - a place where you can quietly peruse the ever evolving selection of books, talk to the incredibly knowledgeable and friendly staff, and pick up greeting cards and gifts along the way. There's nowhere I'd rather spend an hour, especially on a crisp, rainy day.”

“I've lived close by for 20 years and never realized that they have a mini store right inside the main entrance with children's books, Bibles, study guides and some fiction books, all at discounted prices. The staff person was kind and helpful, I'll be returning!”

“I forgot about this little hidden gem in four corners. It's been some time since I've been here but it's exactly how I remembered it. They have a large selection of children's books and fiction. They're organized by author and they have some new books in their selection. You also have the option to order a newer book at a discount (if I remember correctly). They will also accept book donations so don't let those books go to waste! If you've never been, definitely try and check this out. I stocked up on my most recent visit with some good stuff!”

“Scarce offers a variety of resources to help you teach and decorate your classes. My students benefit from art supplies, pencils pens, novel sets, etc. I find tons of resources to scaffold learning and enhance my lessons!I highly recommend Scarce to everyone!If you're not a teacher, but you enjoy a great deal, I'm sure you will find something interesting on the other side of the store. Books, art supplies, cds, movies, and more.”

“Most of the workers are absolutely lovely! A few are a bit rude and make you feel like you are a bother. Some customers are creepy but not much you can really do about that other than be careful when you have to give your number to the cashier. They have a solid selection and overall it's enjoyable to go.”

“My favorite independent bookstore! Though it's a couple of hours from where I live, I find any excuse I can to make the drive to their store. The selection is amazing--they always have a wide variety of signed books as well--every employee is so kind and accommodating, and they host wonderful author events frequently! Highly recommend!”

“I LOVE finding treasures in the impressive variety at Half-Rice Books. One of my two favorite stores to browse. Thanks to all those that pass on their used books to HPB, allowing others to enjoy them as well ?”

“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.”

“Customer service was really great. Priced like a regular book store, not used. If you are looking to get affordable books, I would recommend going else where. Though, employee was very friendly which made up for my disappointment”

“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!!!”

“The books are so cute! My niece loves Sesame Street and putting her name into the story and seeing her picture has gotten her so much more interested in reading and books. It is a little expensive for what it is but I think it's fine. I had a problem with shipping that was USPS's fault and they quickly resent the books. Would recommend for their customer service.”

“We have used this Party City for years, but had an especially good experience on Wednesday. I was picking up balloons for my son's birthday and one of the balloons was a little deflated. The 2 gentlemen working noticed the balloon (I had not) and immediately offered to refill it and also gave me a replacement balloon in case the one that I had purchased did not last. They were so kind and worked quickly to resolve a problem I had not noted myself. They were right though because the balloon did not last and the backup was perfect.”

“Went last Friday for the first time during the day and there was a good crowd. The man behind the counter was very nice and very helpful. A lot of DVDs of all types and I spent some time looking them over. The retail section is small but I was not there for that. A lot of videos in the arcade, although kind of annoying how long it takes to shuffle through them but a small problem, all things considered. Really liked to "buddy booths", as I really like it when people watch me or watch me with another guy or two. Smallest booths are roomy enough for two to be naked and comfortable. Some larger booths as well. Staff did not harass anyone while I was there; man cleaning opened the door to my booth, saw me naked, and just went back out, no problems. Will definitely go back. I wish I could walk around the arcade with my cock out or naked but I am guessing this is frowned upon. But, if they are cool with that, someone let me know (and I'll give it 5 stars!).”

“I ordered 4 puzzles and the packaging was fantastic, even after the delivery driver tossed the box at least 20 feet to deliver it, we are one of his last stops on his route. The exterior box was dented, but the puzzle boxes were not. I will definitely order again from this company. Thank you.”
