Reviews
This is a wonderful store with many treasures on its shelves. I spent a couple of very pleasant hours here. Shopping online can never replace the pleasure of aimlessly perusing and discovering things you never knew existed.

This is a fine bookstore with an eminently knowledgeable and courteous owner. It is a pity that it moved away from Chicago, but this shop alone is reason enough to make a day trip to Chesterton! O'Gara and Wilson's features an extensive selection of classical texts, religious and theological books, fine literature, and hard-to-find scholarly titles. In my estimation, this is the finest antiquarian bookstore in the Midwest. There is really nothing that compares left in Chicago, since even Powell's in Hyde Park is a bit finnicky and weird. Many people mention John King in Detroit, but that place is poorly curated, disorderly, and has a shoddy, garage sale vibe. O'Gara and Wilson's is a much better experience.

Quaint bookstore in the heart of downtown Chesterton. The owner is nice and very helpful. Easy parking. Wonderful selection with reasonable prices.

People aren't kidding about the maps! Their map selection is better than the book selection (and their book selection is good) We saw everything from maps of restricted American airspace in Montana to colonial era maps of Africa. We came home with a 1944 map of France and an 1860(!) map of Illinois. Come for the books, stay for the maps!

Quaint, lovely little book store that is a breath of fresh air from the chain book stores and a wonderful addition to downtown Chesterton!
