It didn't have alot of the contemporary fiction ( ie Bunny by Mona Awad or Circe by Madeline Miller i was searching for ) but it had an amazing selection of drawing and YA and history as well as classics.

While I usually try to seek out small locally owned bookstores, we were already at the mall and had no plans of exploring the city, so this was the convenient spot to stop. If you need a book or a gift similar to what you can find at most nationwide known book stores (Barnes & Noble for example), then this shop will be a good stop.

I am really impressed with the way they replaced the shelves with their books that so remind me of Borders. Located in the North Side in Chicago Ridge (Yes they named it that again) and not so shabby! The prices are a little bit different but they still have a range of books to satisfy the best of readers. I know, most now will read through Kindles and iPads, but old school reading is what makes us understand all that was in the past. Come by and let them know you saw them on YELP, I am sure that will make them smile. See you here. And also, check out their wide range of clearance books located all over the store, seriously, start stocking up!

Dyscalculia. Say You'll Remember Me. The Grief Keeper. Klara and the Sun. The Road. Suggestions for Yelp Book Club?? Read the comment cards below the books to see the opinions of others. Or, grab a YRAB for your kids. The Young Readers Advisory Board offers free pre-publication books for children to read and review. The children's reading book nook is so cute. A cute bookstore to buy a book. Get hooked on books, because reading is addictive!

I stumbled on the cutest children's boutique in Oak Park. Upstairs features smaller sizes (I saw…read moresizes up to 8, but mostly toddler sizes). Downstairs is "the vault", which features sizes up to 14/16 with sales up to 40% (maybe more depending on the time of the year). The vault is sectioned by sizes. At the bottom of the stairs is a clearance size with the discount percentage for the entire room. I visited in early October 2024 and there were many discounted spring/summer styles, with a few sweaters and sweatpants options. There's a couch in the middle of the floor to take a break or for your children so you can shop uninterrupted. The fitting room is upstairs toward the back of the store. Enjoy cute trinkets near the check-out register, plus the cutest wrapping paper that can be purchased. Sarah, the buyer and manager I believe, was so sweet and helped me hide some gifts from my daughter after she identified things she wanted. It's woman-owned, minority-owned and has a woman's boutique right next door, 16 suitcases.

Really inexpensive prices, narrow aisles, imperfect order, kind/ helpful/ interesting workers (maybe owners?), a radio in the front tuned to NPR, a couple of dogs that like to follow you around... I ended up paying $5 for 4 books (although the actual total was 9.65... He wanted ones instead of bigger bills). Definitely worth visiting, but I'd call first. The hours are pretty odd.
