Gotta be the no 1 bookstore in Chicago. You go there, make promises & rules not to go crazy, and still you do, cuz with a selection & prices like these, youd be a fool not to. Just an awesome shop that I hope to return to.

Must avoid at all costs. Supporting this place supports men who treat women and persons of color like second class citizens.

Beyond belief. You get to read the books of the altruistic Chicagoans; their collective mind.

What's the best book to read

They have a great variety! And used books are usually around $4. I bought 5 for $15 the other day. If you like classics there is a great selection! I'd recommend anything by George Eliot or Tolstoy.
