Did everyone including Mr. Sheen work on heir hearts out to make this happen? They certainly did. It was run and managed as effectively as it could have been. It was fun and I'm impressed.

I also think it has pretty good value. They don't overprice books but it's pretty comparable to bookstores near by. For all I have said this bookstore sounds great but I think they have a big problem. Selection. I mean it's ok but I buy Y/A books and they do not have much. It seems as if they just bought the books that were on clearance because tons of the books just aren't interesting. I'm not very sure what to rate this because this is a close gap between a 3 and a 4. It's just good but not great.

This is supposed to be a child friendly place that makes children excited about books. Unfortunately that's not the case in this store.

They did have the specific children's book I was looking for, However, the customer service person was on the phone for an incredibly long time.

You must make a coffee or bakery purchase any order to get this deal. This location in Oakbrook offers a wide selection of books, magazines, games, music, and gifts, you name it. A cafe that serves coffee, tea, bakery items and snacks. This bookstore is spacious. I like that you can pick out a book and find a quiet place to read. Very organized and easy to browse around and locate your favorite topic sections. There are so many book titles throughout the store. A nice place to come and pick out a good book or grab a magazine and sit back and enjoy the quiet and chill atmosphere. If you have any questions there are plenty of workers walking around willing to help. Even though it was busy and alot of people walking around. The atmosphere was still calm and peaceful. Go online and sign up for upcoming events and book club meetings.

Walk inside and you will feel the great hospitality of the workers.

Opening the…read moredoor to this place is akin to pressing pause on the hustle and bustle of life, and ascending into another dimension for an avid suspense reader. The smell of books, the beautiful polished book cases, and the ambience are all worth a visit, if not several visits. The service and hospitality are unsurpassable - the couple running the place are the sweetest and most wonderful people, ever. And there is SO much knowledge of suspense novels coming from these two that it blows your mind. The books are priced reasonably and buying here is a lot of bang for your buck. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this fort all book lovers, but especially SUSPENSE and MYSTERY readers!

I have watched over the years (since 2014) as Bookends & Beginnings has morphed from a dream into beautiful reality, but it is still the product of Nina's mind and her dreams. The new location next to Fountain Square was cut from whole cloth. It began as a large empty piece of real estate all painted in white--a blank canvas!--and was transformed into what it is today: a carefully planned and executed space on two levels painted in dark teal, gold, and white, with a hand-picked selection of over 10,000 books arrayed attractively and intelligently. (Not to mention a reak carousel horse and a giant paper-maché giraffe.) The striking floor-to-ceiling mural, the work of her two graphic-artists sons, presides over the store and is visible day and night. You really should check out Bookends & Beginnings, if you don't know it already!

I found a new book from my to-read list, coveted a cute display of Studio Ghibli merch, smiled at the witty cards, and soon my companions and I amassed a stockpile of items to purchase and so they gave us a nice tote. Maybe next time we'll skip dessert and head straight here (must check hours to see when the bar is open).
