"We are a community bookstore that caters to our customers," says Roberta Rubin, owner of the Book Stall at Chestnut Court. With over 68,000 titles in our 5,000 sq. foot store, the book selection has something for everyone: fiction, travel, cooking, children's books, biographies, and many more. Autographed books are a specialty as well. The Book Stall is classified as a general trade book store.

The Book Stall at Chestnut Court is known for its many special events. You will often find literary and best-selling authors signing their books. The store also sponsors reading groups, poetry sessions and weekly story-telling time for children.

The twenty plus employees of The Book Stall are knowledgeable, friendly and ready to help with special orders, book searches and gift wrapping.

Established in 1940 as Chestnut Court, we became The Book Stall at Chestnut Court in 1986. The store is connected to the popular Caribou Coffee Shop. We are one of the Chicago area's most popular and busy bookstores with events happening almost every day. It is easy to see why we were awarded The Haslam Award for Excellence as an Independent Bookseller in 1993 by The Ingram Book Company and The American Booksellers Association.
