    When inquiring about a book, they sure answer quickly to say they won't offer any discounts. I did…read moreplaced an order for a rare book I thought was fairly priced, plus a bunch of other books that were interesting (hey, if I'm paying for shipping, might as well get some other nice books to read), and got a confirmation email of my order for several hundred dollars. However, after taking my order they stopped answering emails, which I began sending after waiting 2 weeks by the mailbox. After about 4 weeks of writing emails about my order and getting no responses, not one, I finally decide that USPS has had enough time and I give them a call. The person on the other line asks what website I used to place the order, and I told them although I originally saw the book on abebooks.com, but I used their website since I believe it saves booksellers some fees. Then I'm told that they've been having problems "on the back office" with orders not being sent to them. But he's also able to pull up my order, look through it, and tell me that the book I really wanted was already sold, even if it had been on abebooks for a while before I decided to buy it. He says the other books were still available and could be sent if I wanted. I did not. Seems pretty fishy to me that they can see my order, but it wasn't forwarded to them "by the back office" to be fulfilled. Was also fishy that they could respond to my emails before I placed the order but not afterwards. Anyhow, after waiting four weeks and letting other chances to buy the out of print book I wanted at a lower prices pass, I'm pretty dissapointed with this store. Guess I'll go through abebooks or ebay in the future. Probably best to call in your order, but I would stay away for online orders with this store. They seem to be in it for the money and aren't very friendly or helpful.

    I loved my visit to The Book Trader. My brother is local to the area and suggested we pop by this…read morebookshop for a visit because they have a shop cat! I met him immediately upon entering the store, as he was sitting right near the door. His name is Dr. Pickles and he is just as lovely as the shop he calls home. The shop itself is well organized and has so many niche categories to browse and appreciate. As the shop's name suggests, they have ample signage outlining the rules and guidelines for trading with them. As a bonus, the shop (and Dr. Pickles!) are active on Instagram sharing the latest that's up with the shop. I am absolutely planning on returning to this shop during my next trip to Philadelphia.

    The Book Trader is one of my favorite bookstores in Philly[1]. It's well-lit and has quite a stock…read moreof books, mostly used, but some new. They've also got records, old postcards, and I think I spotted a tote. To me, it felt *generally* organized inside, but YMMV, right? Bring your old books in to trade - read their policies on their site: https://www.phillybooktrader.com/menu - and while you're there, search for deals. The more books you buy, the more you'll save. Find them in Old City, convenient to the 2nd Street SEPTA subway stop. [1] There's a shop cat here! The famous Dr. Pickles is usually taking a catnap, so respect their space. Meow.
