“I suggest you ignore the review from “pete” — that review is unjust and seems prejudiced. this is a great non profit book store where all proceeds go to local donation. impressive selection of books, common sense and fair pricing!! great vibe inside and friendly staff.”
“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.”

“Amazing spot with a great selection of kid’s titles but also a curated list of adult books, and they can order almost anything. The staff are extremely helpful and knowledgeable and the shop is often hosting event with authors reading their books for kids. Little ones will LOVE the kid door. Convenient to Main Street stop on CTA purple line or Metra, make a day of it and stop by one of the many restaurants on the same block or down one block on the other side of the train.”
“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!!”
“They have a well-selected variety of books and will order a book for if you if it's not in stock. While perusing, I've stumbled upon a huge Betty Crocker Cookbook, a helpful dog training book, a hard-cover copy of The Little Prince, and a niche Batman-Scooby Doo comic. Throughout the aisles you will find staff recommendations that will pique your interest. If you're part of their free membership program, you get 10% off books. The vibes inside are just good.”
“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.”
“If you like the older and a bit musty bookstore then this place is for you. A great selection of older books for sure but you are unlikely to find much newer publishings here.”
“I just needed a place to kill half an hour out of the cold, but I ended up biking home with a messenger bag full of books. Lovely atmosphere, good selections, interesting music”

“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”
“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.”

“This is a great used and out of print bookstore! like all of the good ones, you never know what you may find. I cannot recommend this store enough. The gentleman who runs the store is a class act.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Best record store in Chicago, period. I lived in Lincoln Square for 4 years and made it a part of my regular routine to stop here on my walk home from the train station at least once a week. They are always getting new goodies in so you have to go often or you might miss something good! Very well organized. Insane selection of vinyl, CDs and actually a good book collection in the back. From brand new music to classics from the 60's, they carry it all. And eclectic stuff that is tough to find. The people who work there will become your friends. Gem store in the best 'hood in Chicago!”
“Great bookstore highlighting women and queer authors! I loved to see such a great collection of books and Knick knacks. They do still require masks but they provide them for you at the door if you don't have your own. The prices are standard for an indie book store; kind of on the expensive side but it's well curated and thoughtful. Overall solid!!”
“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.”

“Super quaint shop that's got an extensive collection of religious/philosophical texts, Buddhist symbols, and Tibetan clothing/art. The prices are a little on the higher end (I spent $60 on my first visit for a book, two mala bracelets, and a print), but I didn't mind because it was supporting a local business. The shop owner escaped Tibet at age 7 and immigrated to the US after living for years in India. They've got a great knowledge of local Buddhist community gatherings/groups, as well as information about how you should plan your trip if you ever travel to Tibet. A must-visit in the NorthShore area for any of the sangha -- beginners or long-term practitioners-- as well as folks interested in learning about other cultures.”
“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 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.”
“Expansive bookstore with tons of NU logo'ed purple goodies! Check out the stuff for dogs. Adorable wildcat mini plush toy Keychain is a sure winner for anyone. Welcoming friendly staff go out of their way to help. Excellent university bookstore. And right next to a convenience type market.”
“Great customer service. Parking was easy. Cover prices AND negotiables on some of the older stuff. We needed a good local comic book shop. Very new, and taking suggestions. Not a know it all like some shops.”

“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.”
“It's a used book store so the selection is varied; that being said, there's always something good to be found here!! They really know how to curate used & rare books. Also the shop people are super nice :)”

“MR ANTHONY ALEX HAS REALLY HELPED ME IN TRADING AND MAKING A LOT OF MONEY FOR THE SUPPORT OF MY BUSINESS, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM TO EVERYONE IN THIS PAGE TO ALSO GET ADVISE FROM HIM ON HOW TO MAKE MONEY ON FOREX TRADING.”
“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”

“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.”
