Sandmeyer's Bookstore

The Chicago Blues Festival starts today! 🎼

A legendary Chicago event since 1984, the Chicago Blues Festival is the world’s largest free blues festival. If you're planning to visit, try picking up any of the books off our Blues Fest display to better understand the art of Blues (and Jazz) and its history.

Happy fur-iday!

This is Oberon, and although he's very cute, please do not pet! Oberon apparently has the taste of an old man. That means big chunky biographies, war histories, etc.

June is Pride Month! 🏳️‍🌈

Check out our curated collection of q***r fiction on the front shelf!

It truly is the year of the horse! 🐎

Which horse is winning this race? Pick your horse book!

New releases!!!! It's a blockbuster summer for books! Which of these caught your eye?

What are you reading this weekend?

Ellen is reading The Story of Jane: The Legendary Underground Feminist Abortion Service. She'll be hosting a book club for Indivisible Chicago Downtown in a couple of weeks.

Everyone is welcome! Just reach out to Indivisible via email: [email protected]

We'll be meeting in Printers Row at Half Sour, 755 S. Clark, on Monday, June 8 at 6:30.

Great bar, great food and hopefully, a great conversation! Hope to see you there!

The Chi at Sandmeyer's Bookstore!

Thanks so much to The Chi team for stopping by the store today. Shannon, Drew and I were star struck! We had so much fun this past winter taping the first episode of this year's season of The Chi. It is showing now on Paramount Plus. Bakari, sorry your book didn't sell better!

Nice to know your crew likes to grab lunch in Printers Row at one of the many fabulous spots in the neighborhood.

Happy fur-iday!

Oliver is back! This big boy loves a literary western - which we may or may not have mentioned in his last fur-iday feature! Yee-haw!

Welcome ASCO attendees!

If you need a break from your conference, browse our charming bookstore in Chicago’s historic Printers Row. Founded in 1984, this family owned independent bookstore can help you find your perfect escape novel or quirky non-fiction read.

From McCormick Place, Sandmeyer’s Bookstore is about a 10-minute bus ride North on the #3. Staying at the Hilton Chicago on Michigan Avenue? We’re just a short walk west into Printers Row.

Visit between sessions or make an evening of it and explore the neighborhood’s shops, bars, and restaurants.
