This...now....go now. Go see this great independent bookstore with so many wonderful books, games and antiques and just utter coolness. Secret World Books is what a bookstore should be. You will love shopping here and hanging out here and enjoying the vibe.

Secret World Books is the book store I've been wished for at this location for years! Prior to Secret World Books opening up here, it was a religious reading room.

★★★★★ Peter, Feb 2025

Charming shop with a wide variety of used books, Chicago memorabilia, and an inviting outdoor seating area straight out of The Secret Garden. Great to finally get a local bookstore/comic book shop in HP.
