“4 stat because they aren't actually a part of the school. You have to show them your schedule in order to return rented books. Better to rent than buy though, so 4 stars. I also miss the corner bookstore that used to be on 5th before you turn into the school, but it is no longer there. Rent your books here though, or buy used. $$$. Better off getting your books though Amazon earlier if you can. Staff is still very helpful in getting your materials.”
“Magnificent bookstore!! So many new and classic mysteries. Augie, the owner, is so helpful. And, so many special events with authors! Have enjoyed for many, many years. ❤️❤️❤️”
“Wonderful collection of horror films (with the best little write-ups accompanying some titles), a great queer horror book section, and great music and vinyl collection too! Staff is always great too”
“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.”
“In a world where bookstores have all but disappeared due to the digital age and competition, it is nice to see Barnes and Noble is still thriving. This location is a nice entrance into Oakbrook Mall. This location has 2 stories with a Starbucks located on the second level.”
“This is the 3rd place I’ve been looking for and the closest thing I have found to my nostalgic 90’s comic book store I grew up with. A place where staff- get this actually interact with you. It’s refreshing- they have great stock, the name is badass, & the vibes are great.I love that the first time I was in the store and Wes Anderson’s, Fantastic Mr Fox was playing and the quote “But In The End, He's Just Another Dead Rat In A Garbage Pail Behind A Chinese Restaurant." was muttered in the background. I chuckled and contained on to enjoying every moment I was in there. Keep it up guys!”
“I had great experience tonight at barnes and nobles, because jonathan and Carla were so nice and helpful!
I bought books from their website and paid with PayPal. But I needed to return some of the books. Unfortunately I wasn't aware that I couldn't have the money refunded to my original payment method because PayPal doesn't give a card so they could only return it for store credit.
But I don't shop at barnes and nobles often so I didn't want the store credit. I was originally going to ship it back, but I would have to pay for shipping myself. And shipping 4 heavy books is very expensive.
But jonathan and Carla were very patient with me, and offered me a 1 time courtesy of them shipping it back on my behalf. I really appreciated their help. Their kindness definitely made my day.”
“I made an online order for a couple books to be delivered to a friend in Oak Park for her baby shower. The staff packaged the shipment as a gift, kept me updated with emails on the status, and they even ended up shipping the books even earlier than I expected. It was a really smooth process and they were so kind and helpful in each email interaction. I will be recommending the Book Table to my friend as a her go-to bookstore in Oak Park if it isn’t already.”
“Loved the selection, especially the sections highlighting Palestine and Arab Heritage Month in April. The space was larger than I was expecting, the store goes in quite deep. There were a lot of people in the store on the Saturday that I visited, which was great to see. Will be back!!”
“Always a wonderful experience when visiting. Staff is always super friendly and readily available to help. They’ve been able to find books for me I’ve searched weeks trying to find.”
“The people that work there are so nice and helpful. Thank you for your outstanding customer service. I picked up two books today and I will definitely be back in the future.”
“I saw an ad on Facebook for an outdoor rug for $40 so I decided to go there to see them. This was my main reason for going. I walked in and thought, "Oh,no!" this isn't going to be good. The store has so many cute items at good prices. The employee, Mike, was wonderful. He gave me the best customer service I have had in a very long time. He helped me with the rug, he helped me find a purple colored umbrella that I just had to have for $14.99, I found a great smelling candle for $7.99 and a giant sun and moon metal art for my patio wall for $39.99. Mike was very helpful, friendly and even helped me carry the large rug to my van. I will return for sure! I'm so glad I went to the store to shop. A+ experience! Thanks Mike”
“The owner of the bookstore, Bishop, is deeply wise, poetic, and knowledgeable. He is an authentic priest with ancestral links to Vodou, indigenous, and sought after occultic traditions. He has rare and cultivated abilities in magick of the highest order -- if you seek his care and knowledge, you will be blown away by his otherwordly presence! More than that, he has a generous and loving spirit and cares deeply for the community he serves. You are in the best hands with Bishop. The store's specialty seems to be in preserving occultic heritage and older and rare relics, so that's good to keep in mind.”
“I found this gem while driving by yesterday and had to check it out! I was met with such helpful and welcoming service plus a great selection of church history, commentaries, theology/doctrine and more! I can’t wait to come back and hang out there a little longer. ?”
“A large variety of current and past books by old and new authors. Also CDs and small gifts and keepsake items for giving excellent customer service. Along with the delicious sit down and relax area and even further in the back there is an area to read on beautiful leather sofas. Well done, and thoughtfully designed .”
“Wonderful Service and inventory! The Owner has a heart to serve and creates an atmosphere the Spirit can thrive in & will lead you to the right choice! Absolutely recommend visiting!!!”
“Fantastic selection on African American and African history, biographies, children's literature, comic books with Black/Latino characters, selections of hair and skin care like shea butters, aprons, artwork by Black artists, teachers resources too.”

“Amazing selection of books- if it's not there- it will be ordered. The owner is friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Definitely will be returning in the future!”
“A wonderful place with very friendly and welcoming staff! They offer a great selection of devotional articles, souvenirs, and religious books. Whether you're looking for a meaningful gift, something for a special religious occasion, or simply something to deepen your faith, you will definitely find it here. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“I loved that it has that" old books" smell. For me personally, I love that. But here I feel it's not very overwhelming. You get a hint of it. To be honest, It didn't look like a typical second hand bookstore! The shelves are clean and neat and well ordered. It is very much organised and you can easily browse..there are also chairs to sit on. Will definitely be back! I got a surprise set of books that I found quite worth the price! There are also free books at the entrance on the left”
“LOVED walking around and exploring this Barnes and noble location. Reminded me of my love for reading and also was great inspiration for gift giving. Didn’t love that the workers stared and followed us as we explored; would’ve been nice to be greeted at least; found that aspect of this visit to be unsettling and made me want to leave. It was a nice little stop to warm up before heading to the movies though!”
“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.”

“Eric, thank you. This is a gem that we had driven by countless times saying that we needed to "check it out". I am so happy that we did today. We walked away with a really nice haul of board games too. Can't wait to be back to keep finding little hidden games and puzzles here.Side note, it is extremely satisfying to find a toy store that is not packed full of cheaply made shelf fillers. This store has quality items and hard to find games and puzzles. We will be supporting this place for a long time.Thank you for answering my questions today.”
“My go-to place when I need a Polish book or a CD. I live out of state, so whenever I order something and it might not be in stock, the owner calls me to let me know about the options or delay. Extremely kind and friendly. I always make sure to visit in person when I’m in town and always find something for myself. I highly recommend it!”
“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.”

“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.”
