After-Words: An Essential Book Store for Chicago Bibliophiles

Bibliophiles, take note: You can indulge your love for all things literature at after-words, a bookstore located in the heart of downtown Chicago. Be amazed by the expansive, and rather impressive, two floors full of new books and adventures to be found.

One of the only authentic book stores left in the entire city of Chicago, this charming shop is full of wonderful things that can’t be found anywhere else in the city. From fiction to non-fictions, poetry to biographies, after-words certainly has it all, and if they don’t they will be sure to get it for you. You can order any book title that you may be interested in reading even if they don’t have it on hand, and the wonderful staff at after-words will be sure to order it for you as soon as possible.

The old-fashioned, Victorian ambiance at this iconic bookstore is perfect for holding events and happenings and they are sure to take advantage of this opportunity as well by holding book readings, signings, poetry events and many other different ways to get more people into the door. Due to the pandemic there are currently no scheduled events, but check back shortly as they are soon going to list any new things planned for 2021.
