Most likely the best secondhand bookstore I’ve ever been to. At first, I didn’t realize the books were used ones as they were organized and curated impeccably. I ended up purchasing three from my first visit and will definitely come back in the near future.

A treasure chest of books with super friendly staff. Great variety across genres—easy to lose track of time here. Definitely becoming my go-to bookstore in the city.

I don’t think I’ve ever written a review for a bookstore before, not because I don’t love them, but because a lot of them don’t leave an impact like this one did. I walked in and was blown away by the sheer amount of books that they had to offer. It just kept going. It was Insanely organized & I am pretty sure I heard the workers say that the majority of the books are donated books. Which is insane considering the titles and special book covers they had to offer. I left with three books and wanted to grab more. Love that they highlighted Hispanic Heritage Month must-reads. I recommend this bookstore to anyone who is visiting Chicago or is a local.

Love this book store! Wide selection of books in all genres for all ages with a great ambiance. Love that the kid/YA room has comfortable places to sit and read. They take gently used donations too.

One of my favorite book stores in the city! I could spend hours in here. They have books of so many different topics and for low cost. Also very big so you dont feel you are bumping into others. Workers are friendly and helpful!
