We are an independent bookstore for all ages, with a friendly knowledgeable staff located in historic Century Corners in downtown St. Charles, Illinois. Since 1974 Town House Books has been a vital part of our community recommending books to every kind of reader. Our staff loves to read and that makes a difference when it comes time to recommend a book. We enjoy learning to know our customers and then putting the right book into their hands. Our unique atmosphere has made us a special place for book lovers. 

We deliberate carefully over our recommendation lists below hoping to give a thoughtful and personal response to you in this online environment. Please let us know if there's anything we can do to improve your online experience. Also we update our lists regularly, so keep coming back! 

If you know the book you're looking for you can search for it at the top of any page in the "search" window.

( To our local customers, please note that online orders are shipped directly and are not available for pick up at our St. Charles location.)
