    Wall of books with ladder to reach the top books, make sure to lock the wheels when you climb up!

    This was a cool book store in Chicago. It had a variety of used and new books in the store . They also had nice collection of records in the back of the store . The place was lined floor to ceiling with books of varied selection ranging from some old classics like pride and prejudice, 1984, to newer books like 4th wing, and normal people. The staff had one person working the register and he was helpful in the layout of the store and book recommendations . The books had a a range of prices depending on newness and quality of book. They all seemed to be pretty reasonable and you can sell back old books too

    Such a cool bookstore with so many great choices! I could honestly spend hours in here if they'd let me.

    Sandmeyer's Bookstore is a gem! Everyone who works there is so friendly and it makes for a great…read moreatmosphere. It feels really cozy inside and I could spend an hour or so perusing the book selection. They also have a nice variety of bookish gifts and cards. The best part is the sale corner in the back where you can find books of all kinds marked down to really reasonable prices. I'll always stop at Sandmeyer's when I'm in the area!

    What a gorgeous location to have a bookstore! Sandmeyer's Bookstore sits in Printer's Row and is a…read morevery lit and airy environment. The selection is not too bad, considering they are recovering from a flood. There are so many titles and a vast array of topics available. I found some classics, fiction, a wonderful selection in their non-fiction area, and translated books. They also provide you with lists of books that have won prizes or coincide with different regions in the USA and the world! I thought that was very helpful. It's a medium-sized store, but their displays are quite prominent. Everything is easy to grab (no ladders or staff needed to get to the high books). All the areas are labeled and it's visually pleasing. The staff was nice, too. Checkout was easy and they were friendly. Prices are standard of paperbacks and hardcovers. You are paying for an indie bookseller (I paid about $40 for two books, which includes tax). I wasn't at all disappointed with the price. They also have a loyalty program for those that are regulars. I really am happy I checked out this spot. It was beautiful and friendly. There was a lot of books and totes to chose from, it was hard not to leave with more in my bag!
