Cornerstone Used Books is a family-owned business serving the Chicagoland community from Villa Park. It is housed in an open, spacious setting with a well-stocked selection of new and used books, DVDs, and vinyl, featuring over 80,000 titles. The customer service is consistently described as great, friendly, and always helpful, with staff willing to search for specific books and even call customers when items arrive. Reviews on pricing are mixed, with some finding the prices good and affordable, while others feel they are a bit high for a used bookstore or similar to a regular book store. The selection is praised as pretty good and excellent for paperbacks. It is recommended as a nice place to visit and a better alternative to supporting a large chain.
Excellent selection of World War 2 books & military history. Katie was extremely helpful & knew exactly where to find what I was looking for. They also have CDs & casettes in addition to the vinyl. Very cool store in Villa Park.

Super cute used book shop with decent prices and lots of options! Everything felt clean and the owner/employee (I'm unsure) was very nice as she flitted around adding to shelves
