The Book Table

Literally one of the best bookstores I’ve been to they have such a wide collection of books of practically every genre and their shelves literally hit the ceiling. Would definitely recommend going to this bookstore!

Massive selection and discounted prices what's more to love? Workers are helpful and I love how you can read books in the store if you want to. Some of my family didn't like reading that much but they still love to go to book table. Great little piece of downtown oak park.

Pretty cool book store. They have a little bit of everything. Plus an extra 30% off so you're sure to find something you like. Shame they're closing down.

Wonderful book store! I found a couple of fascinating books that I had not heard of. That's exactly what I look for in a bookstore!

I like this book store, it is sadly closing, but the staff in there are some of the meanest people. I went up to check out and the person slammed my book down on the table and seemed annoyed I interrupted them reading their book. I’ve been here 3-4 times and every time staff is giving off rude, judgmental vibes. I thought this was supposed to be a safe space? I’ll miss having a bookstore so close and being able to support a small/local business but I will not miss the awful people working there. Maybe go into something that doesn’t involve customer service at your next job.

very wonderful bookstore with lots of inventory. could browse for hours. unfortunately they are closing down so go fast — everything in the store is 20% off close out price.

I'll always be grateful that Book Table exists in Oak Park. The staff is so helpful and friendly, their selection is incredible (and they'll help you order something if it's not on the shelves) - I've found multiple hard-to-find art books and very niche nonfiction that I wouldn't expect a local bookstore to keep on hand. And to be honest, the prices are usually only a dollar or two over The Big Online Conglomeration. You know what's faster than two-day shipping? Going to Book Table and getting the book you want as soon as you want it. UPDATE: I just want to say thank you to the owners and staff of the Book Table. The store will be closing soon after 21 years, which as a DOOPer and someone extremely invested in the community is a heartbreak I cannot easily express. I know Borders is coming back so we will have a book store nearby, but I would have preferred to keep shopping at a locally-owned business. In any event, it's been a wonderful two decades and I'm grateful for what the store added to the community.

Support your local bookstores! Who doesn't love the smell of books. Honestly, if you don't think this place is great, you're not doing something right. The staff I've dealt with has been knowledgeable and passionate. The space has a warm and friendly ambiance with the mild disarray of a well stocked bookstore. If you can't find something, ask.
