I am a reader. I have always been a reader…read more I was a toddler who was reading before I was speaking. Mavey's is my kind of bookstore. Nestled in a row of historic buildings & shops, this tiny little bookstore manages to have a vast variety of books while at the same time being carefully curated. Things are mostly grouped by type, though there's also a delightful jumble, books you wouldn't expect to be side-by-side on a shelf, yet they work. The owner is delightful, happy to chat and also perfectly comfortable with silent exploration. The various recommendations are written by hand, posted right by the book on the shelf. It's an easy walk from the Ardmore train & bus. Parallel metered parking on street and a large municipal garage around the corner. Their pricing is fair, not a race-to-the bottom, also not extravagantly overpriced. You can pay slightly less to a vast conglomerate whose executives take joyrides to space while driving their s workers to exhaustion. Or you can come to this place that loves books and the people that read them. I choose the latter. I hope you do too.

If you haven't been to this bookstore yet, drop what you're doing and go right now. No, seriously,…read moreright now. How fortunate I am to have this gem of a shop within walking distance from my home. It's BIPOC and woman-owned and has the most amazingly curated selection of books I've ever seen. When I'm in there I want to buy one of everything. It's a small shop, but they use every inch of space to fill it with the best books. The owner is wonderful and always up for an enthusiastic discussion on books and reading. They host a wealth of events, including author talks, book clubs, and even book bedazzling events. As soon as you step through the door, you'll want to be a regular. I did!

We mentioned some previous books that our niece enjoyed, and the lady was able to give a number of great recommendations. All three of us enjoyed the experience so much that we each bought a book. Can't wait to read my poetry collection. Great to see that this bookstore also carries the summer reading selections for local public high schools. Will be back!

If you pull in, you do end up backing onto a busy road so leave with caution. As I said, they have a great selection. There are four rooms of boons, each section is clearly labeled and occasional thematic decor. There are also occasional benches so you can sit and debate which books you want to "adopt". They're used, but gently and each has a price lower then the face value written inside. They also have the largest selection of Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys I've ever seen. Its all very impressive.

The only thing I wish is that they'd had a bigger collection of Easton Press/Franklin Press books - I came looking for more classics and I found this particular collection to be a little small. Otherwise, amazing spot.

This is one of the most unique bookstores I've ever been to.

It's stocked with used books, mostly from several decades ago, so don't expect to find recent releases. I snagged two Agatha Christie books, which can be challenging to find. It's a fun place to explore, and if you're looking for an older book, this is the place to come.
