Chicagoist • February 8, 2017This bookstore carves out a niche for itself and owns it when it comes to science fiction, fantasy and horror books. They've got a great selection of horror and B-movies to accompany this selection.

Craig V. • April 19, 2015A truly unique store by a passionate small business owner! He has some vinyl records in here, but that's just a tease for the real value: vintage turntables and stereo consoles. Highly recommended!

Matt D. • June 18, 2011In an era with few record shops left, let alone ones with good jazz selections, this shop is a gem. The staff can be a bit diffident, but isn't that what you want from a specialty record shop?

Charm R. • November 17, 2011Parking is tough if you're in a tour van.
