Awesome bookstore with a dangerously large selection of books on the War Between the States…read more Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Look forward to my next visit.

This store is adorable! They have so many books, so many sections and subsections! There is parking…read morein the front, and elsewhere around the little strip area of shops. 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.

Had the pleasure of visiting Ida's today! I'm a fan of their sister shop in Philly, Harriette's,…read moreand was so psyched to see they have this new location in Colingswood. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable, and they wrapped my book in the prettiest twine with a flower. How heavenly is that experience! Thank you :)

I'd been meaning to stop in Ida's for a few months now-- WOW! The space is a stunner. Inviting and…read morecaptivating displays and the history of the name is inspiring. I met and pleasantly chatted with the owner Jeannine Cook's son who also owns Harriett's in Philly- both stores celebrate Black and female authors. I love supporting woman-owned, local and plan to go back. I purchased a book for myself and a poetry book as a gift.

Do you love to read? Well I do. And I love romance novels have since I was a little, grew up…read morewith my grandmother reading them and watch soap operas. So of course I'm going to love a store filled with romance books too to bottom. I could spend all day just looking for the next great read. You have to check out this place.

Huh, never knew that this kind of niche book store existed, but how adorable! The books ranged…read morefrom romantic to more than a little spicy. If you're a vampire, transgendered travelers stuck in Croatia, a bodyguard for a famous actor, a lonely farmer or a gay artist, there was probably a romance book somewhere in the store written just for you. Very welcoming to everyone and anyone. One downside is that the store had some sort of aromatic diffuser, and it was a little too strong for someone like me who is very sensitive to artificial smells.

I'm obsessed with how this store is organized. As a mood/trope reader, it made finding my next book…read moreincredibly easy. Instead of shelving everything under one broad "romance" section like most bookstores, they had little signs for different tropes and subgenres--billionaire romance, mafia, fantasy, aliens, and so many more. It was such a refreshing way to browse and made it easy to find exactly what I was in the mood for. I also think the concept of pairing a romance bookstore with a sex shop is incredibly unique. The two are separated into different sections of the store, so if you're only interested in browsing books, you never have to enter the sex shop area. I thought that was a really smart layout because it lets people enjoy whichever part they're comfortable with. I highly recommend checking this place out if you're a romance reader. It's one of the most thoughtfully organized bookstores I've visited, and I'll definitely be back.

Got to visit for the first time with some friends recently, had no idea this place was here! The…read morestaff was super helpful and inside it was so clean and organized! Picked up a copy of A Hemorrhage Of Us and was able to get it signed since the author was at the store for an event, such sweet people and such a nice selection of products. We will definitely be back!

I have to say that I never heard of a second-hand store employee wearing a uniform. So, they might…read morenot be the most helpful employees here, but that's missing the point. You come here to browse through the crap & just hope to find a winner at a great price. This store is not a marvel like Murphy's Loft, but it's an ok place to wander in if you're in the area. There is a lot of junk, but the shopping center is kind of old-school cool. It's not worth the trip for this place alone, but maybe stop in if you have dry-cleaning to drop off next door.

The back issues bins have been upgraded from endless rows of beat-up white paper boxes to a beautiful and easier-to-sift-through shelving system with integrated display bins. The books in that section are two dollars a piece. They also have an extensive new release section and individually priced back issues to go with the higher-priced wall books on display behind the counter. The store owner is friendly and welcoming, too. He can either talk to you all day about comics or just be quiet and let you do your thing. The place is super clean, and on-street parking is easy and convenient, too.

I didn't see a lot of "sports" stuff there, if any, really. But there was a good amount of Funko Pops, trading cards, and other related collectibles if you're into that sort of thing. I'm only here for the comics. Overall, it's a place that I can easily pop into on my way home but can get lost in for hours just by combing through the dollar bins and searching for hidden gems. The owner is friendly, courteous, and always fun to talk with. You can tell that he loves collecting. (A "problem" that all of us in the comic community seem to have haha) My only gripe is that the condition of some of the dollar books and back issues should be looked at more carefully. Some are not quite as good as I thought they were when I purchased them. I only discovered this later on after taking them out of the bag. But for the low prices on some of them, I really can't complain.
