History

Javier Ramirez and Kristin Enola Gilbert here. Exile in Bookville is a nod to Liz Phair's seminal album Exile in Guyville (recorded and cover shot here in Chicago). We believe music and books are synonymous and carry that over to our store. Stop by and select a record to play on the turntable. You can read more about us, check out our future events, shop online, buy merch and much more our website: exileinbookville.com We are so incredibly grateful to everyone for their support! We are who we are because of you!
