It didn't have alot of the contemporary fiction ( ie Bunny by Mona Awad or Circe by Madeline Miller i was searching for ) but it had an amazing selection of drawing and YA and history as well as classics.

I was very sad when the Logan Square location closed - I spent a lot of money there and brought…read morevisitors who loved it. Finally had time to visit this location, which I was told was massive. Well - the building is massive - the little section that you can actually browse is tiny - and I mean like TINY. No rare books, genre sections barely a shelf long. I was in and out in 15 mins and even that was me trying. This was about 2 weeks ago. There was a giant section on the west side of the building with stacks of books that was roped off. Is this the inventory? Why can't I see those books too? Did I come during an event prep or is this literally how it is? If I didn't know this was the same organization, I never would have guessed it. I support their mission but what happened? Why is this location so bad? Hoping the Lake St location has some of that LS location magic because I'm so so so disappointed.

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!

I cannot say enough about this small bookstore. I love used bookstores, and make a point of finding…read moreone to visit if possible anywhere I go. This is the best one I've found. In most used bookstores, it's usually a hunt to find something interesting. The shelves will be mostly filled with very common books or niche (or extremely niche) books of narrow interest (e.g., catalogues of small art museums from the 1970s). That's what people bring in to sell, and that's fair enough. Usually, I can find one or two interesting things, but sometimes nothing stands out. At a big store like the Strand in New York, there's enough volume that you can always find something, but small bookshops are harder. I've been to this shop twice and both times ended up finding 5 or 6 interesting things within ten minutes and then stopping in order to not go overboard. For me, they have a mix of books that I've heard of and was interested in but never got around to, books I didn't know about from writers I like, or books on topics that interest me but I'd never encountered before. My wife came with me last time, and she has different interests and tastes but also found several things she wanted, all of it at a good price. I don't know how they source and curate, but it's working. Check them out.

What's not to like about a store selling used books? Ink and paper is not exactly a dying breed,…read morebut it has taken on a smaller presence in the last decade or two with all the digital offerings. That's why an outlet like this is such a treasure. This store had a very nice selection of books ... nonfiction, fiction, and most of the subgenres within that. They even had some foreign language offerings. Besides the broad selection, we liked the prices and the ambiance. The shelves were packed but orderly, and the aisles were tight but negotiable. I'd rather have more books and less room, as long as the shelves are organized ... which these were. All in all this was a great find in an unassuming little storefront. While Ravenswood Used is not as big and eclectic as Myopic Books, it is a winner.

It doesn't take much to say hi and appreciate someone for coming by. I am very disappointed.

While I usually try to seek out small locally owned bookstores, we were already at the mall and had no plans of exploring the city, so this was the convenient spot to stop. If you need a book or a gift similar to what you can find at most nationwide known book stores (Barnes & Noble for example), then this shop will be a good stop.

I am really impressed with the way they replaced the shelves with their books that so remind me of Borders. Located in the North Side in Chicago Ridge (Yes they named it that again) and not so shabby! The prices are a little bit different but they still have a range of books to satisfy the best of readers. I know, most now will read through Kindles and iPads, but old school reading is what makes us understand all that was in the past. Come by and let them know you saw them on YELP, I am sure that will make them smile. See you here. And also, check out their wide range of clearance books located all over the store, seriously, start stocking up!
