Located on Chicago's Magnificent Mile, this flagship Borders Books and Music with Seattle's Best Cafe is the perfect destination for tourists and locals alike. Our location boasts four floors packed with thousands of book, music and DVD titles.
The main floor is our tourist hot spot and features local maps, guides and souvenirs. It is also the premier location to browse our extensive selection of new releases, featured titles, and best sellers. Travel, history, politics and government, as well as hundreds of titles of periodicals are also located on this floor.
We have a steady stream of author book signings as well as musical performances. We have hosted such authors and performers as Bill Clinton, Sting, Tori Amos, Kanye West, Jimmy Carter, Martha Stewart, Rachael Ray, Paula Deen, and Barack Obama, to name a few. Check our events schedule to see who is coming soon, or call the store directly to reach our event hotline. Visit the front of our store for autographed copies of dozens of titles at any given time.
Our lower level hosts literature, business, romance, mystery/thriller, bargain books, and a huge children's department. Stop in any Tuesday or Friday at 11 a.m. for our children's storytime, hosted by Dominique and Amrah.
A picturesque view of the historic Water Tower can be seen from the second floor cafe. Also on the second floor is the Paperchase department, where we have a premier collection of greeting cards, gifts, stationery, picture frames, journals, planners, and lots of unique gifts for just about anyone. Humor, Arts and Crafts, Health and Cooking, Animals and Nature, and a fantastic selection of beautiful art books are also on the second floor.
The third floor is home to music and DVDs, and audio books where thousands of titles are available. The third floor also houses our event space overlooking the Magnificent Mile, and is the perfect place to browse CDs at our digital listening stations, pick up accessories, and make your DVD selections.
