Frequently Asked Questions
Many customers have asked which is the best way to support us, through shopping in the store or at our online store. The answer is that we benefit from both. We want you to choose whichever is best for you and we appreciate your business either way!
Gift certificates are purchased in our St. Charles store and can be used only in the bookstore and café. The gift card is purchased and used exclusively at our online store at bookshop.org.
Bookshop.org began early in 2020 to give independent bookstores a way to set up their own online bookstores to compete by giving us a national unified presence. Bookshop.org also offers discounted pricing and other specials. If you see our logo and name in the upper left hand corner, you’ll know you’re shopping our store on Bookshop.org.

Some customers have expressed concern that Town House Books and not some other store is getting credit when they buy from our online store at bookshop.org. Make sure you see our logo and name in the upper left hand corner of the pages as you’re shopping and checking out. If not, click on “Find a bookstore” in the upper right of the page, and choose Town House from the search results.
