“The book selection is amazing! I was afraid there’d be a bunch of old and tired books no one wants, but not at all! There are so many newer releases in every genre. The prices and variety are excellent. I am definitely coming back for more!”
“I love this place! The staff is friendly and very helpful. It's very clean and well organized. The Starbucks is great too. Very courteous service. I'm like a child in a candy store here. I want it all, lol !! Love to read!!!”
“What a pleasure it was purchasing from this family business. I was looking online for a particular line of fabric and came across this little gem of a store. I was a tad nervous ordering from a store I hadn't heard of before; but, didn't need to be! Unbelievably fast shipment, great service. I hope to shop here again in the near future. Thanks so much!”
“I love this place so much. My sister and I always have a good experience when we go in to shop or browse books. The staff are always so nice and helpful. That is why this place gets the rating I’m giving it. However, there is one staff member who usually works the cash registers, her employee # is 8424, who is always rude when we go in. Yesterday we went and she was there. She was also rude with the two customers in front of us. She was being very impatient with the first one and she didn’t greet back the second one when she said hi. It was 8:45 pm and I understand that it’s close to closing. If that is her reason for being rude then that is obviously no excuse. I get it, my sister gets it. We understand. Even so, you should still treat people with respect, especially if you’re the last person a customer sees. This isn’t the first time this employee was rude. If this is her personality then she is in the wrong position for the company.”

“This shop is really great!! All the variety of books you can imagine. If you're looking for some recent titles, you can find them at a reasonable price here :) (We got a Rick Riodan hardbound here for $12!)
However, I would give one less star for how a lot of older books are priced here, especially in the classic books and educational (math, sciences and art) section. Found tattered paperbacks or used hardbounds priced too high for their condition- ex. looks like $.50 but is selling for $7, which I don't think is reasonable.
But look around still! In the newer sections there are definitely something for everyone there :)”
“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!”

“On behalf of the Lord Jesus Christ and his great Holy Spirit we want to say thank you for having the supplies that we needed and also for allowing us to grab our Sword which is the word of God. I was able to find and get the Bible that fits me. Thank you.”
“The best store ever. I was looking for the Chuckie doll at the Spirit Halloween store and they were all sold out. Spencers had what my grandson wanted. When he's happy I'm happy. Great store and service at Louis Joliet mall. I highly recommend this store.”
“I've been wanting to com and check out this comic book store. What I really like about it is that it is well organized and it's easy to walk through the aisles. I was impressed with their huge selection of graphic novels. We only had a couple minutes because we had an appointment to get to, but we thought it was a great place to shop. We decided to buy a mystery graphic novel (it was wrapped up and so it was a surprise) before we left. We will be back!”
