Effective Friday, August 20th, the city of Chicago is requiring that everyone age two or older, regardless of vaccination status, must wear masks in public indoor settings, which includes Unabridged Bookstore. We are happy to report that all of our staff are fully vaccinated, and encourage everyone else to get vaccinated as well. The health and safety of our employees and customers is of paramount importance to us. Even during this challenging last year, you have supported us in ways for which we are forever grateful. For over 40 years, we have loved being your neighborhood bookstore and a part of Chicago's vibrant reading community and we look forward to many more.

Open Daily 10-7 You can always order online, or by phone, and either pickup at the bookstore front door, curbside pickup or have it shipped to you besides shopping in the store. |

Advocacy for Racial, Social, and Economic Justice |
It has been over one year since the murder of George Floyd, and over one year since Unabridged Bookstore made a ongoing commitment to each month support and contribute to organizations that work towards achieving racial justice in America, as well as promoting social, environmental and economic justice. From June 2020 thru May 2021, Unabridged Bookstore has contributed over $22,000 to 21 different organizations, and we are now re-dedicating our yearlong commitment to support these kinds of organizations each month. Thank you for joining us in this commitment.
To honor the Black Lives Matter movement, and as part of our commitment to promoting the work of activists and organizations engaged in the fight for environmental justice and against systemic racism, social injustice, hunger, sexism, homophobia, and transphobia, we choose to support these two organizations this month:

 |
We invite you to join us to support Transgender Law Center and Affinity Chicago as they work to achieve meaningful and lasting change in our community. For more information about each organization, or to make your own contribution, click above. We ask that you continue to support LGBTQ+ authors, to read books by BIPOC writers, and to read and resist!
Thank you,
Unabridged Bookstore
