I always love Mad Street Books! The staff is so personable, they make great recommendations, and I always enjoy my visits there. One of my favorite indie books stores in Chicago!
My favorite local bookstore! The owner and staff are always so kind and helpful. They’ve really helped build a family like community here in west loop ♥️
Madison Street Books has a really nice and curated collection of books Since it is near the hotel I was staying at, I thought I would stop by and check it out yesterday morning Based on the exterior aesthetic, I wasn’t sure if it would be more of a used bookstore or a bookstore with newer books, but it has more books that are popular right now than I thought it would have It’s nicely organized, and if I were local, I would have likely stopped by every once in a while
I stopped by Madison Street Books for the first time this past Saturday and was so impressed by the whole experience. The space is cozy and beautifully arranged, with a really thoughtful selection of books. It's clearly an LGBTQ+ friendly store— I immediately felt comfortable and seen. I ended up picking up a copy of “Gender Euphoria”, which I was so happy to find on their shelves. They also had many beautiful accessories, I even found a tote bag that brought back great memories—it felt like the perfect little treasure! The staff were kind and helpful, and the overall vibe was just lovely. I’m so glad I found this place, and I can’t wait to come back!!
Cute little place. Very nice staffs, very nice atmosphere. Comfortable chairs if you want to have a read. Gotta love it. Definitely bring your kid in if you’re a parent. Also appreciate that they have a feminist section and a russia/ukraine section of books on display in the center of the store.
