Kurt Gippert Bookseller

I found Kurt in a search for a very rare book for my dad for Christmas. I had exhausted the resources near me and started calling shops in larger cities in hopes someone would have it. Kurt was friendly and took time to find this book on his back shelves (it was unlisted so didn't even come up in an online search). He researched the book, gave me a more than fair price, and shipped it same day. The books are in beautiful condition and were packaged carefully. I cannot wait to surprise my dad with this beautiful set. I would highly recommend Kurt to anyone searching for a rare book or wanting a recommendation on an interesting read. Thanks again for making this step of the search so easy!

I stumbled upon Kurt's website trying to find a signed copy of Meredith Willson's He Doesn't Know the Territory. Kurt was selling a first edition, so I contacted him and he promptly scheduled a convenient time for me to come in-- he's available by appointment or invite only. While at his store Kurt was extremely friendly and helpful. He showed me what I came in for and then let me take a look around. Kurt has some truly amazing things in his shop-- I came in for just one book and left with five. I will definitely be back soon.

Took the long ride out from McHenry county to get a final appraisal of a book he thought would be worth 3 figures. When I got there, he did more research in front of me and although it wasn't worth what I was hoping, Kurt was still willing to pay me for what it was selling for elsewhere. He is super kind and friendly, very knowledgeable, and has a tremendous little "bookstore" on the north side of the city. I would probably spend more time here if I lived closer. At least he is available online!! Take a look!

Just met with Kurt last week and it was a great experience. He has quite the collection, was fair in his estimates and the new building will be fabulous when it is finished.

A wonderful book store! Thousands of titles for book collectors and countless categories to choose from. Kurt is very knowledgeable and willing to answer questions, give him a call, open by appointment.

This is an appointment only antiquarian book haven. Kurt is seasoned and friendly and has books for the beginning collector as well as lots of OMG high end texts and maps.

Delighted with my purchase. Book shipped the day I ordered it and arrived a few days later. Packaged with meticulous care (even though not a high-end item) and the condition exceeded my expectations.

Kurt spends the time to make the book buying experience truly wonderful!

Kurt has a little bit of everything at very reasonable prices.

I am huge fan of books and Kurt Gippert Bookseller mostly has what I am looking for. They have an extensive collection of books and that just impress me. It is indeed a book lover paradise.
