India Book House

This store is the only place I’ve seen in the US where they have a large collection of Indian publisher books. Staff is really helpful and prices are reasonable — no need to bargain, unlike the rest of Devon. Book collection will appeal to both native Indians and curious Americans.

A great, local bookstore with a large selection — yoga, Ayurvedic guides, religion, fiction, history, photography. A lot of movies and cds though I am not familiar with this genre. Awesome chotchkies, art, singing bowls, Indian Barbie. And the store owners are very kind and willing to answer any questions or help you make your selection.

I am a sucker for a good bookstore, but this place keeps me coming back for the DVDs. The selection is great and every time they’ve suggested something, I have loved it. I am a huge Bollywood fan. They also had Indian Barbie the last time I was in.

Small bookstore that carries an enormous amount books ranging from Buddhism and Hinduism to Sikhism and Jainism. They also carry many books regarding vegetarianism and Yoga. I really enjoyed the shopping experience.

Its official. I love this shop. I popped in here while waiting for Indian takeout from across the street. The staff are welcoming and there was a very large selection n of Indian movies and CD’s.
There was a 50% off table of decent books.
The book section in the back is extensive: from ayurvedic diets to buddhism to hinduism to yoga to art — they have many many books regarding traditional religions and methods of living. Some of the books are rare and quite difficult to find anywhere else and ALL are very decently priced.
There are beautiful… simply GORGEOUS hand painted posters, mantra beads, buddha statues, ganesh figurines and large boxes of incense.
I ran into two very friendly people here — one was an Indian man who told me a story of his wife who passed away last year — he said he saw her soul sparkling in the room the day she died — he said «Do you know what my wife asked me before she died? She said, „Do you think we go onto to a next life“,» and I said «I do not know.» Well she said, «If so, in my next life, I will marry Donald Trump!» After this, I was very quiet and she asked «Why are you so quiet ?» I said, «well, it’s what you have said.» She said, «Don’t be silly! I meant that when I come back, and you come back into a new life, YOU will be Donald Trump!» «
This man was amazing.
i also met a man named Roaul who turned me on to a yoga/​guru spiritual center right around the corner from me in Humboldt Park.
I think the stars aligned today. I feel happy.

India Book House has a great variety of books, newspapers, CDs, DVDs, posters, art, and much more. The sales staff are helpful and friendly. I especially appreciate the many books that they have for people to learn the many languages of India.

They’re moving a few stores to the east, where Atlantic Video used to be. (2541 W Devon Ave)
Anytime we go to Devon, we always pop in here to browse the books. And then the «pop in» turns into a long stay. They have a huge selection of books from India. The bargain table is always interesting, diverse and covered in new items. Their DVDs are slightly cheaper than other places on Devon. They have tons of magazines!

Totally freaking amazing selection of South Asian books, newspapers, magazines and movies, in many different mother tongues. They also have an extremely useful selection of Indian school textbooks and readers graded at the various Class levels (Indian educational system goes from Class I — X). Advanced students of Hindi will find everything they might need here, including many materials not available yet on the Internet. They have all the best Hindi dictionaries. Well done India Bookhouse! Shabaash! You have beat Amazon at their own game, this is why local bookstores still work.
