Afriware Books, Co

Gem of Maywood! We love coming here and always find a new book or accessory to pick-up! Perfect place to find a gift for the upcoming holiday season.

I am so happy that I stumbled upon this bookstore! The selection of books is so impressive, I love how thoughtfully curated the selection is. The blog posts are always interesting, the lists, the featured authors, the vibe of the shop really comes through even to the online browsing experience. I needed to reach out to the staff with a question and I'm so glad that I did! The customer service was impeccable, they were patient, took their time, and handled every aspect of my order with care. Again, I could feel the heart of the shop through the interaction! This is truly a one-of-a-kind business, I only wish I would have found it while living in Chicago. I honestly can't wait to visit and check it out in person. I've spread the word to friends and family and they've also had great experiences. Afriware Books, thank you for all that you are doing! I've already placed a couple of orders and am excited to continue supporting.

The owner and staff of AfriWare Books are truly some of very best! They all really go out of their way to connect with customers in ways that I have never experienced with other bookstores. When I first ordered books from them and had a question about my order, the owner replied with such positivity and genuine desire to help with anything, remarking that she, too, could relate to the excitement and anticipation of the getting the latest Nnedi Okorafor book to read. In all my interactions with the owner and with the staff, I come away feeling that they really love what they do, and are genuinely excited to connect people with great books. I can't recommend buying from this bookstore enough- the excellent books and wonderful people make AfriWare Books one of the very best.

This culture diamond is packed with books, gifts, skin care products, tee shirts, jewelry, and so much African pride. I browsed for an hour and still had just scratched the surface of all this business has to offer. On top of a great bookstore, the owner is socially conscious and regularly schedules great guest speakers for educational enrichment of her customers. I have attended several events and always walked away with more knowledge than I had when I entered. The owner has taken her business to a new level. Not only providing products but creating a space for gatherings that promote unity, community, and pride. Thank you for all you do.
