Where shall I start? The unique & fun name? You can read about that. The best host ever? George? Followed ever so slightly by mom & storeowner Diane? We drove over an hour from Naperville (independent bookstore quest) and arrived minutes before closing. Diane couldn't have been more gracious.

I recently moved out to the suburbs from the city and was desperately missing my independent bookstores. I found Abalabix this winter and absolutely love it. They have the titles I'm looking for and I always end up finding something new that I wasn't expecting. It is also great having George there too!
Great independent book store! Friendly staff, warm, relaxed atmosphere, cute dog; what more could you want? The only drawback was that, as a small independent store, the selection wasn't as broad as a big box store. The solution was that they ordered everything I needed. 4/5 will go back!
I had a great experience here! There was a wide selection of new books of all genres. Their dog, George, is a very friendly greeter!
My boyfriend and I visited the shop to do some last minute Christmas shopping. We were not disappointed by the large selection of books and gifts available! We found some really awesome things to pick up. Not to mention how much fun we had meeting sweet George and talking with the wonderful owner! We both will be doing all of our book shopping here going forward- go visit the shop, you will love it!
