"Great to have a used bookstore in Bridgeport"
Overall, it’s a pretty rad bookstore with a super friendly and awesome owner. There’s plenty of cheap books and the place has a chill atmosphere. They opened only two weeks ago and were still getting everything organized. Once they get fully settled, it definitely will be one of my favorite bookstores in all of Chicago.
Fantastic used bookstore in Bridgeport! Owners are still importing their books from southern Illinois, can't wait to keep going back over time to see what they have. The store has Myopic Books' (bookstore in Wicker Park) vibes because the shelves are homemade by Joe, the original owner of Myopic Books.
Joe was the best to talk to and provided good recommendations for books, there are so many books and genres to sort through, and the prices are great! Will definitely be returning. Definitely come with enough time to search through the books if you don't have a specific topic you're looking for.
This has one of the most superb collections of used books in Chicago and many of them were not even unpacked. The location is easy to get to get to and the owner who used to own Myopic Books is very congenital and quite helpful. The only things that would make it better is a cafe and events.
Great to have a used bookstore in Bridgeport. Impressive to know that the wealth of books there now are just the top of the iceberg, and they've got more on the way. The owner was super friendly and engaging. Dig through, pick up an oddity and head to Jackalope for coffee and a read.
In the era of Amazon and Google, it's refreshing to have a local bookstore. Well stocked and organized. Book worms should plan a couple of hours for their first visit. I didn't make it to the basement... Can't wait for my next visit. Friendly and helpful service.
A bookstore that ever neighborhood needs to have. The owner is friendly, warm, and easy to talk to. The store is laid out in an interesting fashion that lets you get lost in the books. All of the books are organized by topic and author last
Idk if y'all know but the owner of this bookstore IS CHICAGO BOOKSTORE ROYALTY & was the original owner of the best used bookstore (myopic books) on the north side years ago. Of course he was the best cuz he grew on the south side! Well Joe
My wife and I have a tradition of visiting used book stores in every city we visit. We've been to roughly a dozen or so thus far, and Tangible Books beats them all out. As out-state-tourists, we felt welcomed and acknowledged in a way that
I stumbled upon this bookstore. When I walked in I was greeted warmly and asked if I needed help. I then just browsed section by section. The owner told me about each of the sections and walked me through the store. He also shared stories
By far my favorite bookstore in the city! It’s such a great place for second hand books, great conditions for the most part. The selection is huge and unbelievable, lots of diverse subjects, authors and titles. The store itself is pretty
Wonderful and surprisingly huge little local bookstore. Love going to to random local bookstores on our long trips and this one did not disappoint. The owner is a sweetheart and the prices are great. So many categories to choose from and
Bobs bookstore is the best place to go for book lovers!! There is a very large selection of all kinds of books. And the store itself has a nice homie vibe to it, where you just want to sit back and relax with a good book to read. And the
I’m a huge fan of used bookstores. When I stayed in the Bridgeport area from out of town, I was happy to see Tangible Books was within walking distance of my Airbnb. After I stopped by, I was pleasantly impressed with their selection and
Truly a magical place for any book lover. Astounding selection and variety. I'm one for genre fiction and Bob's truly shines. Horror, sci-fi, fantasy all abound. There is a huge selection of general fiction from all eras, classics and
Traveled on the bus AND train to get here, so worth it! The store itself looks so small from the outside but the books are floor to ceiling! They’re divided into many different sections like fiction, woman’s study, Birds, cook books,
This store carries all different genres of books, such as WWll, cooking and gardening, kids picture books, chapter books, thrillers, and many more. The owner of this book store is also very knowledgeable about the books he has in the
Talk about a used book store! If you want to get lost in the world of books, you'll find this is the place with books stacked and packed in just about every available space all around u. I became aware of Tangible Books for a poetry
The owners are amazing, friendly, have great recommendations and the bookstore grows even more every time you visit. Great prices as well, very competitive vs other 2nd hand bookstores. MUST stop here if you come to the area.
This is a lovely used bookstore! Bob is very friendly and helpful. There is a wide selection of interesting and unusual books here. Also, they have chess on Monday nights for anyone of any level and I highly recommend it.
Finally, a book store on the Southside. It's a great one, too. Huge selection, lovely owners and fake prices. I started at the outdoor carts and ended up inside browsing and chatting with Joe. I'll be back soon, for sure.
It was so nice to hear that Bridgeport was going to have a bookstore nearby. The stock is still being sorted, but the atmosphere and overall experience was pleasant and has me looking forward to my next visit.
Awesome seller! He was really nice and bought our books for the best prices I've ever gotten. I also got great deals buying books. Very honest guy. There is a big collection of books ranging from books about
2 floors of previously owned books. Very well organized and easy to find genres. Very helpful. Many chairs to use while enjoying a huge selection! Highly recommend but just know you could spend hours here!
Joe, awesome guy! I still remember being a little kid growing up in wicker park and he would be handing out free books to the kids in the neighborhood. So happy to see this store come to Bridgeport …
Tons of books about several matters (really: shelves are everywhere) to choose from. The salesman was very kind to me and my daughter during a moment of distress. Books van really save our life.
The owner is so friendly and welcoming,he showed us a tour of the whole library the first time we came.There so many good books and tons of different genres.Would definitely recommend going.
This is the absolute best bookstore! I found 2 books I wasn't able to find anywhere else and I rediscovered an old series I hadn't read since highschool. If I could give 10 stars I would.
This place truly is great: excellent selection of books of various genres, reasonable pricing and the owner was really nice and helpful. Definitely worth visiting!
This place really is a treat to visit! It's fun to spend an hour or more just browsing, trying to find the next good book. The owner are great to talk to as well.
Tangible Books is a must visit in Bridgeport! Great selection and prices and a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. Don’t order from Amazon- support local bookstores!
This book store is owned by Joe Judd. He and his wife run the best used book store in Chicago. I highly recommend spending an hour finding something to read.
Excellent selection, you can spend days in here as I often. Used bookstores are a dying breed. This one is special, so get in there and find some gems.
If you're looking for a new spot to buy books this is the place! Many genres and things too look at, the owner is very nice as well.
Huge selection of used books, great vibes, and friendly, helpful owner. Very reasonable pricing as well. Always worth a stop in!

Amazing place to find good books for a few bucks. The owner is a nice person. Chess on Wednesday at 5:00. Check schedule
Really like the comic book selection. I recommend any comic book collector to visit that place. Awesome owner too.
WOW!! What a find of used books, in great condition. I found out about in Parent & child magazine. Had to stop.
Great selection of affordable, used books! Don’t come in without picking up a book or two. Lots of hidden gems.
Love the smell of books. It’s hit or miss with used books. You stumble upon something that interests you.
