There is tons of…read moremetered street parking along the whole block and I have not had any issue finding close parking on any visits. I follow Partners in Crime on Instagram, and one of my favorite things about them is how they are always hosting events, there are always author signings, always something going on. They connected with Cozy Girls Inc. for a book bedazzling night that I saw on their social media and was so excited to sign up. It was only $25 and ran from 7pm-9pm, after the store was closed for the day. I thought this was an incredible value for what we got for the night, and they offered 15% off for anyone shopping during the event! I picked up a copy of a book I had been wanting to read to bedazzle for the event. While I went for an event, there are some things I want to highlight that are just about the bookstore/regular shopping experiences! The staff here are always so nice, and I have felt very comfortable asking questions or needing help. I love that this bookstore is romance themed (in part at least) because I never feel any stigma or judgment browsing and shopping here. It's so cozy, and there are SO. MANY. BOOKS! They've done an amazing job carving out little nooks in the store but also having so much space to carry so much! I love that there are also stickers, pins, bookmarks, candles, etc. as well to making shopping even more fun. I love the resurgence of reading and literature appreciation and Partners in Crime has cultivated the best little spot with really reasonably priced books and gifts and I'm so grateful to have them in the community! I'm so excited to maybe join one of their book clubs and I can't see what comes next. Thank you, Partners in Crime!

First of all, the new space on Western is lovely, a very old-timey used bookstore without the dust…read more Excellent selection and if you've ever been to Powell's in Portland, it's sort of a mini-Powell's in breadth and depth of books offered. On the other hand, I brought six books in great condition and not run of the mill (for instance, an extra copy I had of the recently published complete notebooks of Camus), and the buyer gave me $12.00 in credit for the whole stack. She also explained that the online account I set up before the move doesn't sync with the store's new account system. If I wanted to redeem the credit, I'd have to come into the store. So much for convenience. Here's a suggestion: use my credit to help an in-store customer who doesn't have enough of their own to buy a desired book. Honestly, I won't mind. BTW, Ramona the exquisite husky spirit of Uncharted Books no longer visits the store. According to the frugal buyer, because Ramona is older now, it's harder for her to tolerate customers' comings and goings. Love you, Ramona, and thank you, Tanner, for sharing her with us. Finally, if you'd like to help Uncharted Books besides shopping in person, you can find them on bookshop.org.

If you want to sell your typical used books to them, you will receive store credit. But I think they're pretty generous with the credit they give you. It's nice to have credit and just walk in and pick something out and they ring it up on your tab. It almost feels like getting a new book for free. When I don't know what I want to read next, this is a great place to go. Service is super friendly. If you have an idea of what you want but aren't finding it, just ask! Street parking is pretty open outside using the Park to Pay app. Felix Lectio!

Mind where you walk and sit, many books are haphazardly piled in aisles and against shelves so you will have to move items, lamps etc in sections of the shop. Something to note: if you are sensitive to dust or mold or respiratory challenged, you may want to limit your visit. Old books, too many piles to clean around and strong incense equals poor air quality.

I've had nothing but great experiences at Roscoe Books! There are many lovely local bookstores in…read moreChicago, but this one has become my home base. I pretty much always have a book on order from them at any given time and they're always speedy and communicative. Every time I've placed an order for a book I've gotten a response within an hour that it was on its way and a time frame in which to expect it. (And I'm not talking an automated response, but an actual typed response from a human being!) There have been times when my book has somehow miraculously arrived within 24-48 hours of ordering! The only time a book has ever taken longer than expected to arrive and when I called to ask why they informed me that it had arrived damaged and they opted to order in a fresh copy for me. As a lifelong comic book collector, I've been conditioned to be a condition freak when it comes to my books and I'm so glad to know that instead of being put in an awkward position of coming in to pick up an order and seeing it's not in good condition and being anxious about saying anything that they went this route instead. Amazon could NEVER. If I ever move to a different neighborhood for whatever reason, I'd be happy to go out of my way to continue supporting Roscoe Books after so many stress-free, friendly experiences there.

So keep an eye out for it, as you drive. Today, was my first time at Six-Corners neighborhood in many, many years and I'm glad that I made the trip to it. This store is very well stocked with magazines and many types of magazines that you don't find at a Jewel-Osco magazine rack or check-out aisle. Being a film buff, I was glad to find "Cinema-Retro" magazine as well as several discounted hardcover books. Today, I spent $134 here on magazines & books and I had a good time doing it. I was able to browse without interruption until I found the items that I wanted to purchase. The check-out clerk was very helpful and polite, the place was very clean, very well lit and the magazine racks were very well organized. There's also a small coffee shop in the store. Great place - 5 stars!

Prices and variety of mags was good and I hope they get more into indies beyond just European mags. Can't wait to take the bus over here again and again!

I do have one major issue from time to time, and if this was any other store I'd be down another star but I can't deny it's incredible place in the Chicago book world. To my best guess, this seems to be run by a male and female team. The male usually has a great answer or recommendation when asked. The female is another story. When asked about a book in the vein of another book I've been told she doesn't know, I respect that. When asked if they had a book recently featured on Instagram the response was "I don't run the Instagram just dm them"....as she was actively on her phone and I'm in the store with money to spend. I'm sorry to bother you. When asked "do you have this book, it's scifi I think?" "I don't know" - note I found it on a top shelf about 10 mins later. When asked "I saw a rare ($500) book here last week but I don't see it now, did it sell?" "I don't know, it might be at a book fest so if it doesn't sell it will be here next week" I'm about to buy a pretty expensive book and you can't text the person at the fest to find out? I can pay for it now. Instead I guess I'll buy it online somewhere else. I don't bother shopkeepers when it's busy - these were not busy times. But the level of not caring on her end, and losing some sales in the process is so disappointing. I'm not here to bother you, I just want to buy some stuff
