Open Books West Loop

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.
