Pensees Bookshop - Shop IL (Near Charleston)

5 /5 Jack Sternfeld: Youll always be able to find something interesting in this little book store on the square in Charleston, IL. I always enjoy stumbling on to places like this when I travel. Ive scored great history and philosophy books here, as well as mysteries and some good science fiction. Sometimes there is also a variety of foreign language selections.

5 /5 Elijah Wenndt: I have been to many used book stores across many states. At most you typically get a few of the authentic independent used bookstore experiences, that being great prices, great selection, wide variety, and knowledgeable owners. Pensees checks every single box. Used books of every variety and topic you can think of, a massive selection stacked to the ceiling, paperbacks for a buck or two, some old and truly rare books, and an owner thats willing to help you track down something that may be tucked away. If you are anywhere near the area I would definitely recommend a visit. Picked out a few to add to my collection and had a good chat with Bob the owner!

5 /5 Sarah Dodson: Crazy amount of books and insane in a good way decor. Awesome owner, you need to see the Harry Potter cupboard
