“This place is awesome! I wanted to buy a couple of books for Christmas and they gift wrapped each one of them and sent them individually for me. It was super easy to make an order over the phone and they shipped the next day.”
“Lots of Funkos and Toys, great deals on new and back issues, and they always have a sci-fi/comic book movie playing in the back. Awesome place to pick up some collectables.”
“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.”
“It makes me happy that there are still physical bookstores left! This one is a great representative of why: it's cozy, has a ton of books, gifts, toys, board games, a Starbucks, and other bookstore-essential things. Staff are friendly, the store is clean, and everything is well-organized.”
“This has been my favorite place to get books ever since I moved to the area. There's always new and fun things every time I go. It has such a chill vibe and friendly atmosphere.”
“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 like this store. There used to be one closer to me, but it closed. I found a book I had been looking for, and a few others too. The prices are decent (compared to the Schaumburg location) and you pay Lake Co. taxes. I want to go back and get one book I decided to leave behind. The guy at the counter was polite enough. I wish they had a way you could look up stock like a library, because it can be hard to know whether you've missed something, but it's worth a trip.”
“Thankful I had the opportunity to stop in at this beautiful independent bookstore, located right on the outside of Chicago. Barbar's Bookstore hosted an author event for Porsha Williams "Pursuit of Porsha" novel. From my first experience, to actually having the opportunity to meet Ms. Williams at the store, I had an amazing professional, kind and friendly interactions with both the team members at the bookstore as well as with Ms. William's team.Pursuit of Porsha, did not disappoint. The book was heartfelt, well written and enduring. Ms. William's Did an amazing job of taking the reader on a journey and a journey and explaining the how's and why's along the way. For the past few years or more, I have seen her on a wide media scale and it was very connecting to read about the journey getting there and who she is and was as a person before the person we would grow to learn to know. I highly recommend taking time to let this author into your world. Read she is kind and has an amazing story to share.”
“I've lived in the area all my life and use to go to the barnes in the mall. That Barnes was cluttered and hard to navigate. This new one is beautifuly organized and free flowing. The staff are friendly and put a smile on my face breath of fresh air. This is the best corporate book store you can go to in the area. Wide selection of books and a great vinyl selection. Happy I went and checked it out. Whomever runs this store kudos”

“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.”
“The birds here are high quality for sure. I'm mad that I didn't know about this place sooner! I've been getting cheap and untrustworthy birds for years. Truly a saving grace for my bird fascinations.”
“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.”

“The CLC bookstore in Grayslake is considerably larger than the South Lake campus, but they still seem to have the right little bit of everything! Also like the online book ordering/pick up at the store feature too!”

“Very nice and down to earth people! I highly recommend to give business to this place; it's much needed! Please help small businesses survive in this changing world!”
“New Trier is a special school, one that gives each student the opportunity to explore and develop in every respect; academically, socially, philanthropically and athletically. That said, there are 1,000 students in a class. NT is probably best for those who are self starters. I spent the first two years there looking for my tribe. When I found small group of yearbook friends, it made going to school a far friendlier place. The students there bring tremendous talent in virtually all endeavors. It is a privilege attending school there, I am proud to be an alumnus.”
“Did they grow too fast or something else happen?I was gifted a subscription a few years ago and it was absolutely amazing. Honestly got me back into reading fiction after a very long hiatus. I’d look forward to each new book and effusively recommend to friends and family since my first selection. Just flat out greatWas gifted my third subscription this year. Got a notice that they were running late and did eventually receive two great picks in March… but nothing since. Have written a number of emails, but similar to other recent reviewers have had no response. I’m still holding out a shred of hope that they get it together, but getting pretty sad about losing something so awesome”
“Very refreshing to walk into this amazing bookstore that has a great selection for all walks of life. I also appreciate the openness of the store as well, especially on a hot Chicago day. I regret not buying the Larry Clark book I found but I look forward to going back and see what I can get my hands on.”

“As an avid lover of reading I love a small bookstore. This book store was cute, clean, and well organized. But what put it over the stop was the staff. The older lady (Nancy? ) is the sweetest lady I’ve ever met. So nice and polite and had that feeling of home to her. Even tho I live a hour away I’m sure I’ll be back”
