Welcome to the Prairie Avenue Bookshop. We are an independent bookstore in downtown Chicago serving those interested in architecture and design, whether students, professionals, or general enthusiasts. Our website contains the greater part of our collection, and is updated weekly to reflect the general availability of the books. Most orders are processed and shipped the day they are received, and rush shipping is available. Our physical store features more than 20,000 new and used books in a space filled with architectural artifacts and furniture. We publish a quarterly newsletter listing newly published and/or forthcoming titles, and we also send out a monthly email which lists new arrivals. Please feel free to contact us with any questions you may have.
