    This place is so cute! Books, coffee, trinkets- I'm in love. Brittany is the owner and barista and she is very friendly. I ordered an iced Campfire Latte which was delicious!

    Such a great indie bookstore with delicious drinks! I always keep my eyes peeled for Brittany's recommendations.

    What a joy to have a bookshop above a farmer's market! Lady Matilda and I schedule our quarterly…read morevisit to the Farmer's Market when the store is open. Check the days and hours before you visit. Lady Matilda and I come to the market for our meats and spices, grab a soft pretzel or three from the Amish kiosk, and see what the Bookworm has to surprise us. It's a friendly shop where they remember you and your tastes. I've converted a lot of clients and friends in the area who were quick to dismiss it as just another dirt-mall book dump. Absolutely not. The store carries the professionalism of classic independent booksellers with the fun of a friendly mom-and-pop store. Take a break from the busy market on your next visit.

    This little gem of a used bookstore can be found inside the delightful West Shore Farmer's Market…read more You might think at first that there isn't much to see, but when approaching the store inside the market, you come to discover that what exists in the hallway is only the outside of the Bookworm Bookstore. There's so much to see inside, with all kinds of book genres all well-organized and easy to search. The staff was incredibly friendly and approached me twice to ask if there was something they could help me find. They knew where everything was and knew sometimes even before they'd look what was on the shelves and what wasn't (or what just sold a couple of days/weeks ago). Very insightful and their kindness made the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend for the used book lover!

    Books-A-Million is on my bibliophile list of book stores to visit when in the area to see what's…read morenew. Definitely "Books-A-Million " with the largest selection of books for adults and children. If you're in the market for a hard-copy magazine, it's sad that digital has reduced the overall selection. Joe Muggs Coffee area looks like a great place to read or work with a cuppa. Themes: USA 250 years, Romance Novels, and Summer Reads.

    I remember Books-A-Million from my trips to Alabama. I recall it feeling more like the Half-Price…read moreBooks I still enjoy today. This location wants to be Barnes & Noble so bad that the experience is almost the same. It's not terrible, but it isn't innovative or special. The bargain sections often have interesting gift books, but the joy of finding that uncollected special order in a clearance bin is now a distant memory. If I want to buy someone's bestselling hardcover for 90% off, I can snatch it up here, assuming I don't want to wait for the free shipping from Amazon or another online resource. I regularly find more interesting books at Ollie's just up the road. I found nothing here worth waiting in line to buy in the past year or more. Granted, the store is clean, and the staff is helpful. It's just wholly unremarkable as a bookstore. If your thing is toys for adults with disposable income (aka collectibles), they have a huge section surrounded by hundreds of Funko Pops. But there is nothing here I cannot find online and possibly cheaper. I typically only visit when Lady Matilda is over in the Michael's located next door, and, as this is deep within the retail hellscape that is Colonial Park, I try not to come by very often.

    I had always thought the name "2nd & Charles" referred to some downtown street corner of a big city…read morelike Boston. As it turned out, the name actually comes from "second-hand" (as in buybacks and trade-ins), and the first name of its founder, Charles Anderson. The chain has 40 locations across 18 states and is owned by its parent company, Book-A-Million, which was founded by Charles father, Clyde. It's bitter sweet that it moved from the now-dismantled Harrisburg East Mall to its current location. The business survived, but I like the old setting better, where it was part of a shopping mall and you could just stroll into the store during a general window-shopping trip. The new location is standalone, right across from the county courthouse (are the prisons still there?), where Toys "R" Us used to be. It has to be a dedicated trip. The new store is much larger, however. It has all kinds of books, including rare titles and collectibles. There are also gifts, CDs, musical instruments, and even LEGO bricks sold by weight. Heck, they even buy back old LEGO sets! Jumping on the "blind box" bandwagon, they now sell "Mystery Boxes" as well. It's a fantastic spot to treasure-hunt and/or sell items from your weekend clean-outs. It's great to see a unique business like this continue to thrive.

    Besides Bass Pro Shops, congratulations to 2nd & Charles for being the only retail store to survive…read morethe Harrisburg Mall. A huge store located in the former Toys R Us, with a tremendous selection of kids' books, records, and toys across all categories. There's even a free Mother's Day card creation event this Saturday for children. Plenty of staff around to answer questions. I need to bring in my husband's barely used hardcover books for reselling. Living in this digital age, it's great to see 2nd & Charles thriving. If you want new or get a great value with slightly used books, try the 2nd & Charles bookstore for a curated book experience.
