Gem of a bookstore with an excellent and well curated selection of adult and children's books…read more Happy to find a section focused on local authors in addition to books about Chicago. I explore as many bookstores as possible and was delighted to find 2 books about Chicago by local authors that I never found before. They also have unusually sturdy and very well made totes and tee shirts with images from Beverly on them. Perfect for gifts as well as use by myself for heavy items. This was my first time in the bookstore but it was distinctive enough of a bookstore with a very friendly and welcoming staff that I plan to come back soon. Note: they have well priced used books as well as new.

I love bookstores, so coming by Books-a-Million while in the mall on Tuesday was a no brainer. I…read morewas able to purchase my husband his Christmas gift here as well as a book for my nephew (which he has already received and loves). 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.

Just opened a few weeks ago on Borders Express location, and finally we have a bookstore similar to…read moreBorders. 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!

This is a store born and raised in Chicago and they give back to the city with so many great events for children, youth, and adults. Books are reasonably priced comparable to any other store you would shop for books! If you cannot get IN to get books you can always find options online as well! Also. They have dope apparel too!

My husband wanted to visit Chicago and when I mentioned wanting to seek out some bookstores, he…read moreadded this place to the list. When trying to find the place, the person we asked turned out to be the owner, so he not only walkd us there, he let us in as well. The Underground Bookstore, according to their website, has been around for over 30 years. I really enjoyed just looking around as the store was packed full of books and home decor. My husband ended up buying a Harriet Tubman plaque type item for our home, as well as a book. I would definitely recommend The Underground Bookstore to anyone looking for books or decor relating to African and African American history. I will be asking my husband to come back next time as there was a $45 book about poetry that was out of my price range this trip.

I cannot…read morethank Underground Bookstore enough for doing everything, and I mean everything possible, to find the book I needed along with it being in my budget! In particular, I want to commend Yoel for his customer service. If he did not know the answer immediately, he researched and would follow-up. He also checked in with me throughout the entire process. Despite being busy, he always made time for me because he is the epitome of making the customer feel valued! Please patronize Underground Bookstore!
