Information may not be reliable

Powell's Bookstores Chicago specializes in quality used, rare, and discounted books, primarily academic and scholarly. We are particularly strong in medieval studies and classics, philosophy and books on books, but we also carry many other subjects.
We have two retail stores in Chicago, each with well over a quarter million books. Our wholesale division sells scholarly and academic remainders to other bookstores, primarily from university presses. We are also the exclusive North American distributor for a series of reprints from Oxford University Press in subjects such as philosophy, ancient history and classics, and medieval studies. These reprints are available to customers as well through our catalogue department.
