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!

Browsing for books is one of my favorite past times and I could have spent a loooot of time in here. Being a mom to a two year-old I especially love looking for new books for him. I was able to find one of my favorites here-- where the wild things are. We have since read it every single night before bed for the past two weeks. It continues to be a smash hit. I also grabbed him one of the books from the little critter series that I loved as a kid. He really likes that one too. I only had about 15 minutes to look around, so I definitely need to make another trip to dedicated to finding some books for myself, but I was happy to support this local shop by purchasing some classics for my kiddo.

I have very mixed feelings about this bookstore…read more If you're a big reader of fiction, as I am, you'll find the selection to be first-rate. There are large sections devoted to Penguin Classics, Modern Library, NYRB, and so forth, and a good selection of mystery, horror and science fiction novels. But the non-fiction side of the shop is pathetic. The guiding principle seems to be, "we only stock books that will make our readers comfortable. Books that will tell them what they already think they know. Books that won't challenge them. Books that will teach them nothing new." The entire purpose is to offer customers only those world views that they're already in agreement with -- uniformly Leftist, naively "socialist," anti-capitalist, and anti-Western civilization. And, needless to say, there's a heavy emphasis on sentimental Palestinianism. It's a suffocatingly narrow-minded approach. A bookshop should be a place to discover new ideas and new perspectives. Not a place to have one's dated orthodoxies and narrow-minded perspectives confirmed. If you're in search of books that will confirm your biases and comfort you in your prejudices, it's the bookstore for you. If you want to be intellectually challenged, you'd be better off going to Barnes and Noble, which carries a wide range of authors with differing viewpoints. (Yes, a "big chain" bookstore is more indie than the indie competition!) It has wider aisles too, and friendlier and less condescending clerks.

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.
