It's a smaller space but it has a great collection, especially in literary fiction and poetry. Prices are decent. I spent $15 on three books, one hardcover and two soft covers.

A great place to find reasonably priced books (with an amazing clearance section!) The warm and cozy vibes are just perfect for an afternoon of book shopping! I would highly recommend!

Small but mighty! It is a well-curated tiny bookshop very near R Public House. Been there twice and in both times I boughth 4 books. I told myself only 2 but I always ended up with 4! Prices ranges from $4 for the paperbacks to $6 for the fiction hardcovers to SRP on new released ones from Chicago authors. There's also some hardcover art books for $10-15. Not as packed as Armadillo's Pillow but definitely more chill and curated. I have a bunch of books I don't see myself re-reading anytime soon so might as well get store credit from them. Don't hesitate to come here. The owner is very nice and friendly.

Extensive selection of timely topics and classic authors. Personal books may be sold to store for credit in store. Helpful owners. Great location in Jarvis Square at redline L station. Wonderful addition to Rogers Park!

Amazing local bookstore with an awesome selection of curated new and used books. Despite its size every time we come in the door we find something worth reading. Truly a neighborhood gem.

I’ve never bought so many books at once. A great selection with many novels that were already on my wishlist. And the owner was very friendly!

Came here for the first time and left with some great gems. Small with a wide selection of genres, sweet staff, and amazing affordable prices! I'd say it's the perfect place to pop in when you're looking for a good read but might not have lots of time to browse. It gets crowded fast but their stuff is so good and well organized that it pretty much guarantees an awesome read no matter what you pick up. We're local to Rogers Park and within walking distance so I'm thrilled to have them close by! Will definitely be back.

Love this place. It's small, but they have a great curated selection of very fairly priced used books and the owners are super friendly. They also said they can place orders for you if you don't want to buy something from a big devil corporation like Amazon. So glad they exist. Rogers Park has needed a good bookstore for decades.

The kindest people run this small gem of a bookshop. I was so excited to find a new one in Rogers Park and had such a lovely experience that I’ll be back many times for sure. They have a great collection at accessible prices and I spent a good while looking through and picked out a bunch that I’m really looking forward to reading :)
