“Brick and mortar book stores are becoming harder and harder to find. I'm glad B&N has been able to stick it out. Great selection of books, games, etc. The staff is very helpful and friendly.”
“A full-service shop with supplies fabrics and sewing machines of all kinds. I drove my wife up from Peoria so she could train on her new Pfaff sewing and embroidery machine. Diane there is a fantastic teacher very patient and knowledgeable about machines, embroidery including all of the computerization that can be done to do beautiful and complex sewing quilting and embroidery projects. A beautiful store and lots of areas for practice training and demonstrations of sewing arts and these modern machines. Married for over 46 years my wife has had me in A LOT of sewing and fabric shops and this is that best one ever. Amazing place and crew there.”
“Absolutely love this place. I wish more book stores could be like this. Amazing selection with a little bit of everything and anything it feels like. The man I spoke to while I was there nerded out with me over laserdiscs and that was the most fun I had in a while. The prices from what I bought were absolutely amazing. If you love books, manga, comics, music, and even laserdiscs, I highly suggest you check this place out!”
“A fun bookstore with every title you can imagine. I loved the different book set ups in the kids area. They also have a train station table which my daughter loves. My only feedback is I wish they had more areas to sit down and read a few of the books. My toddler brought back a stack of books she wanted to flip through. We made it work and found a spot on the floor. I highly recommend Anderson's, I can't wait to be back solo to check out other titles.”
“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!”
“This has become my home away from home. Most of the staff would jump a tall building to help you find what you need. I love it when they give you a big smile and ask what else they can do for you. I always walk out with more than what I was looking for.”
“It was my first time visiting this location. Decent customer service at the front when I was returning two books and great space. Love the store displays. I’d go back again.”

“Need an older book this is where I go! Was there today and found some that have been on my list awhile. I was able to also get several of a newer series that i heard about from a friend. Owner is very helpful and knowledgeable.”
“Love this children’s bookstore! I fee very fortunate to have this establishment so close to home. My daughter and I love going to this book store, they always have very cute events for the kids!”
“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.”

“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.”
“There are only a couple problems with this place, and none of them are so bad that I would take a star away. First, their parking lot is weird and kinda annoying. They kinda share a lot with DSW so I always have to park around on the side. Second, every single time I am there, I get stuck in line behind “that guy” who has to ask 1,000 questions or wants to join their “club” after asking 1,000 questions about that. Never fails. lol.”
