The space is SO welcoming and comfortable to shop , browse and contemplate. I love the staff, as they are knowledgable and make fantastic suggestions. More than anything(?) but there is so much to enjoy about this place, is it is arranged in a thoughtful manner where all titles are easy to locate. A perfect and needed addition to Oak park.

Was so happy to see this new shop open in the location of the old Book Table. Every town needs its local bookstore! I used to work in publishing and this shop has an excellent mix of book titles so theres something for every reader. I love going to the kids section with my niece and nephew. The owners are so nice and really seem to care about the community.

Wonderful new addition to Oak Park. Friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere makes you want to stay and hang out. Good selection of books and puzzles, which usually means I go in for one book and end up getting 3.

This Shop is adorable. It’s warm and cozy, and exactly what you think of when you think of an independent book store! Staff is friendly and engaging and they will order anything if you cant find what you are looking for. (They ended up ordering a few copies of a novel my book club selected) Its a great place to spend a Saturday. Note: children's section is excellent. (They were having story time, when i was there…)

Amazing local book store, with an excellent selection, friendly and helpful staff members, and an overall wonderful booky ambiance! Stop by for a book and then stroll to a local coffee shop for restaurant to enjoy it!
