Quimby's Bookstore

I visited this quirky second-hand bookstore on my Chicago trip and I left with a few hidden gems. I love the poetry books I found and it’s reasonably priced. $7-$10. This place is located in the heart of Wicker Park and it’s close by local restaurants and clothing shops.

There’s no other place like Quimby’s ❤️ amazing bookstore, really great for zines by small independent artists, comics and a large variety of small press. The selections varies and changes constantly but it’s always good and rare. You will find weird pieces and that’s the best. The staff it’s sooo nice. Definitely a safe space!

A well-curated collection of Zines and other things! Things were well-priced and they had a wonderful selection of diverse topics and authors. Prepare to spend some time exploring in here!

This place is so cool! I left with some neat Zines. I’ll definitely be back for more. Nice staff too.

A short while ago I discovered this place and had a really nice time browsing their collection of hard-to-find books and comics, definitely worth checking out.

We came from out of state and were told about this bookstore. We were so excited and were SO happy upon coming inside. It’s a very intentionally picked selection and you can tell in the best way possible. It’s like the zines, books, and even comics were all hand picked to be in the store which was a refreshing experience compared to bigger book stores. The staff is very nice, too! Additionally, we came back home with our Quimby’s paper bag and for some reason our cat will only sit down on it now even though there are other places she can sit. We will have to keep coming back at the behest of our cat looks like. 😁

Great local bookstore that carries an unusual and interesting inventory, including a lot of local zines. Go check them out!
