Dropped in on a whim while out with my daughter. Did not disappoint. Staff were friendly and led us to the children's area where we picked up a stack of new books for her. Would definitely recommend and will try to drop back with the rest of the family.

Amazing selection

On 6/24/2024 k c had this to say:
Fantastic used bookstore in Bridgeport! Owners are still importing their books from southern Illinois, can't wait to keep going back over time to see what they have. The store has Myopic Books' (bookstore in Wicker Park) vibes because the shelves are homemade by Joe, the original owner of Myopic Books. Update 6/2024: It has been about two years since my first review.. the bookstore moved next door and is very spacious. Book selection has gotten better and better over time. It's my favorite bookstore in the city!
