“Wonderful Judaica store. I stopped in on a trip to Chicago and was pleased to find several items I needed and even more that I wanted. The prices were very fair.”
“Outstanding locally owned, independent bookstore. A terrific community institution with great selection. Staff recommendations are truly excellent and will lead you to books beyond the best seller lists. Everything a local book shop should be. Worth your support.”
“The coaches are AMAZING!! They motivate you in so many ways with words of encouragement, energy, cheering for you to keep going and push past the idea of what you think you can do!! Each coach brings a little something different to class but all of them are rooting for you!!”

“I love the Bookstall! It's comfy. Staff is very helpful. They wrap gifts. I love their game selection. It's not often I buy gifts for kids, but when I do, the selection is always thoughtful, but also, engaging for the kids. They also have great little notebooks and a lovely card selection.”
“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!”
“Great place. Very nice and knowledgeable owner. Great selection for any interest! Prices are reasonable for reality as it is now. Tidy, bright, convinient location. Big parking lot.”
“This is my favorite bookstore. I'm not a Christian myself, nor can I read Hangul, but there's just a positive energy about this place. They are friendly and eager to offer a deal if you buy multiple items. I recommend their music collection, which can be enjoyed without understanding Korean.”
“The perfect bookstore aesthetic. The staff are helpful and the vibes are romantic and welcoming. I strongly encourage anyone to going at least once (or a dozen). Already bought a book, some manga, and even a graphic novel from this bookshop.”
