A ton of knowledge for those interested in African American history, the Black American life, and so on. Incense, clothes, jewelry, and crystals can also be purchased here.

Lovely bookstore. I was able to purchase a very enlightening book. The owner was very helpful

My #1 bookstore for African literature, African American history and culture. As well as various goods like shea butter, black seed oil, black soap, jewelry and clothing.

Black Owned full of books, sage, incense, and next door to a smoke shop for some of those needs plus oils. Will defini3 be back. Helpful and kind employees and owner!

This is one of my favorite places. The collection of books is outstanding. I spend my time back there just in awe

Excellent customer service

Great selection of body and burn oils

I bought many books from here Im so proud that they continued to last in the neighborhood. Keep going guys I wish you all the best. If you want books that really tap into the origins of our culture, our understanding of our plight, and a direction for serious minded individuals, this is a store you want to go to when you visit Chicago.

Love this place. The prices are affordable too.

Interesting inventory of books and various other products which may stimulate ones inquiring mind in its desire to know oneself.

When I travel I visit bookstores, and this one is such a gem. One of my favorite of all time. Great location and interior design! The selection of books is also wonderful and the selection of other products. Nice.

I love the knowledge the professor shares about religion no matter what your beliefs are its a lesson. Oh and the books are very informative as well. Supporting a place with oils, and butters and natural deodorants and toothpaste is a bonus. Plus its run/ owned by a very respectable man . Peace and blessings.

An exquisite an rotating selection of books, body care products, clothing, and burning essentials gathered at one place sold by beautiful people. The holistic vibes in this atmosphere cant be misplaced. And theres a certain satisfaction getting your needs fixed by your local black owned business!!

Its wonderful to have a radical black bookstore in the neighborhood. Would be nice if there was less occult stuff and more history, literature, etc.

Knowledge point blank

The service is great, the book prices were great, and the childrens book selection was very nice. Overall a great place to go
