"Fantastic collection of foreign language books and exceptional attention to customers. I came to Tangible Books on my first visit to Chicago, looking for some secondhand gems. As soon as I walked in the door, one of the employees asked me what I was looking for and personally showed me the foreign language section. As a language nerd, I was so impressed by the sheer variety: I saw books in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Urdu, Vietnamese and Ukrainian, and I’m sure I’m forgetting some. I came with the intention of getting books in both other languages and English, but their foreign selection was so great that I left without any English ones! Highly recommended for any secondhand book lovers, especially those looking for books not written in English. Well worth the trip!"
