    The Book Loft

    Super cute independent book store! A friend introduced me to this very welcoming and cozy spot…read more Owners were very friendly and made great recommendations after having a fun discussion of recent reads and interests.

    Incompetent at best, homophobic at worst…read more I walked in looking for seven different books, and they had none of them in stock. I had a gift card; I asked the woman working the register to order four books. I listed out all four books verbally, twice. Three were queer romances they didn't have in stock--two of them being the Gay Hockey Books currently dominating the cultural conversation. Surprise surprise, when I went to pick them up today, they'd ordered the second book in the series, but no the first. Despite the cashier repeating my order back to me and confirming. I walked out with three books, confused. On top of this, their selection is tiny and their poetry section is one sad little table. The "gay" section is shoved all the way in the back in corner like a shameful secret, like it's 2003 or something. The romance section was maybe the largest, and out of that entire section, I found two queer romances (both by Casey McQuiston, NYT Bestseller). Oak Park is an incredibly liberal and incredibly queer suburb of Chicago. Heated Rivalry is one of the biggest shows on TV right now, and it's baffling to me that any bookstore in Oak Park wouldn't have a table display for it. Overall the Book Loft is an underwhelming replacement for the Book Table. RIP

    it's what you want from your local comic book shop. Great selection, knowledgeable staff and…read morefriendly people! You never know what treasures you are going to find in there!

    Yesterday was my first time visiting the store was looking forward to check the place out and see…read moreif there was anything interesting to read for the week. It was calm and decent even though there were a lot boxes around the store that made things difficult to get through and there wasn't anyone available in the checkout section since I think the owner who was wearing a checkered black and white shirt with a black hat who looks like he's in mid or late 40s and other staff member were getting some vintage comics packed up to mall for the holidays which is understandable. There was a comic book I was interested in purchasing I think it was a vintage Spider-Man book from the 60s or 70s that had the lizard on the front and I was gonna purchase it until the owner came in with a stressed or angry attitude towards me saying that all the comic in the white boxes needed to be alphabetical order and he took it from my hand without even saying anything in a proper manner that they weren't for sale and that whatever was on the shelf were the ones on sale. Thankfully, I'm a person who's calm and didn't have a reaction like anyone would and it was a place that I won't visiting again for a while, maybe until the holiday session is over and the owner is calm then I'll give them another chance. Moral of the story is that comic book owners who are have a stressful day and a negative attitude, don't be afraid to take a day off and get some time for yourself.
