My dude is a voracious reader and he looooved this place. It has an old, used books house feel to it. He bought 2 books and then we just wandered about the whole place. Can't speak to parking since we took the train up from downtown Chicago. Wicker Park had a chill, younger vibe, at least this area where the bookstore is at. WE enjoyed our visit :)

Excellent used/new bookstore! They buy a pretty wide selection of books, and their stock is pretty large- check out the SF/F section in the basement for an idea of how much stock they have

Great selection of used books (a few new ones too) covering a variety of genres and topics. I went here while visiting from out of town and left with two used books that were in excellent shape! I loved roaming the multiple floors of shelves. This is a shop by book lovers for book lovers.
