Phil WatsonMarch 4, 2017The shelves just keep going and going, with a huge density of books in every little alcove of the store. Definitely a place to find some inexpensive books you've been looking for.
O. K.April 5, 2017The philosophy and theology sections are stellar, and the selection of literature is good. The poetry section is lackluster, however; I would recommend the Sem Co-Op for that. Fair prices.
Chris NatoliSeptember 18, 2014Amazing store. Great philosophy section. They even have a Marxism section, though not as good as the Sem Co-op's.- Trevor WidemanMay 4, 2015Not so overwhelming as the Portland store, but an amazing and well-curated philosophy section. Worth the trip down.
Mark SaintSeptember 9, 2010Best book store in Chicago for everything theological, philosophical, historical...okay, best store period. Check out the free book box outside the door every day. Great gems in every box.
David SmithFebruary 7, 2018Books...specially, philosophy, religion and the new age section has some great deals. Sci fi collection is good
Lee EysturlidOctober 10, 2016Great selection of Classics and some history. Need to get past the need for a "Marx" section. Really?
Christine HarrellNovember 18, 2012The children's picture books are in no particular order. Very annoying
Bring in a Powells bag or tshirt on the first of the month and get 20% off.
