This poem was written by a dear friend and customer of ours; we thank him for his loyalty and the joy he brings to our staff! The Book Bin is owned by Janis and Lex Irvine and has been in the Northbrook (Illinois) Shopping Plaza for 35 years. We are a full service bookstore, around 2000 square feet, and specialize in finding the perfect book for the individual. We have the usual inventory of a general bookstore and you can order through our webpage for either shipment direct to you, or for pick-up at the store. We do a personalized out-of-print search which has been over 90% successful and we dabble in rare books and antique lithographs from the "Belle Epoch" period. Thanks for coming by.
