4.0 of 5 stars. If given the choice between any Border's or Barnes and Nobel and Armadillo's Pillow, I'd choose the latter every time! A fantastic selection of low priced used books, paired with a cozy, almost...

Yelp.com Review - by Christoph B.

5.0 of 5 stars. Probably one of my favorite places in RP. They don't have a lot of books but they make up for it with a little bit of everything and cheap prices. The staff is super friendly. I don't know if they...

4.0 of 5 stars. This place is cute, and the selection is broad enough to keep those with multiple interests busy browsing. As used bookstores in Chicago go, it's not a gigantic selection, but each section is well...

Yelp.com Review - by Diana H.

4.0 of 5 stars. I've made several visits to this cozy little book nook since moving up the north side. I view this place as more of an escape and retreat than a place to shop for books. They carry a decent stock of...

Yelp.com Review - by Carl H.

5.0 of 5 stars. Do not go to Armadillo's Pillow with a book in mind. While you certainly might find the book if you do, that destroys the joy of going here. Just come, mind open, and browse. Browse through the...

Yelp.com Review - by Allan M.

4.0 of 5 stars. By far, this hidden gem of a bookstore is easily one of my favorite places to hit up in Rogers Park. It looks small from the street, but has a much greater selection of books than you could initially...

4.0 of 5 stars. This store is certainly one of the bright spots in Rogers Park. I could do without the incense smell, and they need to cool the place more efficiently on hot summer days, but those are minor details....
