	We are so proud to share the news. The Book Stall at Chestnut Court was chosen as "Best Nonchain Bookstore" by Chicago Magazine!

New Honor for The Book Stall - Best Indie Bookstore!

Chicago magazine has named The Book Stall the best independent bookstore

in the whole Chicagoland area!

The August issue of the magazine picked our store, commenting on "the sprawling, well-organized shop's calendar of almost daily events, including children's readings and author visits. The 71-year-old shop has maintained a loyal customer base through multiple owners and a name change. The staff greet regulars by name and make thoughtful recommendations from the shop's 60,000 titles."

Thank you, Chicago magazine. Thank you, our loyal customer base!

THE BOOK STALL
811 Elm St., Winnetka; 847-446-8880
The Book Stall's owner, Roberta Rubin, travels to New York three or four times a year to establish contacts with authors. "There are a lot of authors who like being in an independent bookstore," she says. "I make sure they remember who I am." Her effort shows, in the sprawling, well-organized shop's calendar of almost daily events, including children's readings and author visits. The 71-year-old shop has maintained a loyal customer base through multiple owners and a name change. The staff greet regulars by name and make thoughtful recommendations from the shop's 60,000 titles.

WINNER: The Book Stall. For longevity, selection, and its helpful staff and the all-important fact that it is connected to a Caribou Coffee
