Gepetto's Toy Box makes last-minute birthday gift shopping so EASY. When I forgot to get a present…read morefor a party today I was in and out in 15 minutes with a perfect gift & card and they wrapped it beautifully for free. They have a well-curated selection of toys to suit every age and interest. The shop is clean, bright and pleasant to shop in. The workers are knowledgeable and helpful. Best of all is that they realize the pandemic isn't over for those of us with kids too young to be vaccinated, so they will continue to require masks until there is a vaccine for all ages. And you can order for home delivery if you can't wear a mask for 15 minutes.

I…read morereached out via email and had a back and forth exchange with someone from the store at a different date and ran into a rude and unpleasant rep. I wish I could remember her name. I know email tone can be misinterpreted but as a representative she completely turned me off from visiting again in person or recommending to any of my friends and family. Good customer service is essential these days if you expect to keep customers! Not to mention the increased prices of Gepetto's toys compared to other businesses. Yes the quality is good, but it's not an excuse to be crappy towards your customers. There are other options in the area. I'd recommend they get a new person answering emails unless the business supports that type of behavior.

Lots of NYRB and Dalkey Archive offerings, plus sections on Latin America (avant garde, of course), women authors, indigenous authors, and more. Lautremont, Bolano, Perec, Borges and Pynchon await you....

Christ I love this store. Genre-leaning books/records/comics/ movies…read more The owners give the absolute BEST book recommendations. If there is a little note under a title on a shelf, buy it. Their taste is impeccable. Or, just tell them what you are into and they will suggest something. Again, they've never failed me. Really solid choice of metal (my preferred genre) and other genres in the record sections. Honestly if someone is even slightly nerdy (compliment), they will probably walk out with some treasure. I go out of my way to come here around once or twice a month. One of my favorite stores in Chicago.
