Great customer service! Visited here with our niece to find her a good book to read. We asked the…read morelady in charge about possible recommendations. 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!

One of the best local book stores that I have ever encountered. Wide range of topics. Great…read morecustomer service, very knowledgeable team

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!

What a lovely local bookstore! My first visit to Moore Books was for an author talk. When I walked…read morethrough the door the first thing I noticed was how small the space is. They've really made the most of the space though without making it feel at all crowded or cluttered. The selection is amazing. You're likely to find what you came in for on the shelves, but if not they can order it for you. The employees are friendly and helpful, and the store vibe is relaxing and comfortable. They host a wide range of events like author talks and sip n' shop nights. And there's a parking lot right out front. Definitely stop in here when you're in the neighborhood!

A wonderful addition to the local community. Having a bookstore is a joy. Well laid out with a…read morecurated selection, you'll easily find something of interest. I shopped over Christmas and came away with books, madlibs, games and more. I've also ordered for delivery online, that credits this shop with the sale.

Barnes & Noble Bryn Mawr is dangerous for a book lover. Peaceful, cozy, kind staff, and I somehow…read morenever leave without one book and three more things. Great selection of calendars, pens, and all the little things you never planned to buy. The upstairs café is clean and the perfect spot to start chapter one.

After almost 20 years Barnes & Noble is back in the same location. They have made many upgrades and…read moreof course still have all of your old favorites. They have a private parking lot and occupy both floors as they did in the past. The upstairs, which is accessible by elevator, had a Starbucks and a nice seating area. You are welcome to their free WiFi and can stay as long as you like. No purchase necessary! You can take books and magazines from the shelf to peruse while you are there. In addition to the wide variety of books and magazines, they have a gift section with puzzles, board games, stationary, wrapping paper and more. The staff seemed absolutely delighted and were eager to help and promote the store. They have more regional control over their offerings and have a nice selection of Philadelphia items in stock. They also have regular events and I was told Ginger Spice will be there in April to promote her kids book. Still has that brand new smell, stop in and check it out, great to have them back in the neighborhood!

Excellent little book shop that caters to the romantic/fiction/paranormal readers out there. Not…read moreonly do they have books they also have cute charms and mugs. For such a small store they even have a small sale section roughly 20-30% off title price. Friendly staff always there to help. Authors come by all the time to do book signing! Amazing dynamic we have here. Got me a cell phone charm, cat lover's delight, will come back again!

[Out-of-Towner Review]…read more I'm pretty sure TT told me about Cupid's Booksthop I had a moment to stop by, so I happily did! Little did I know this area was soo cute and heavily trafficked! Parking was a nightmare, but it was worth it. But the Manayunk neighborhood is adorable! So, they claim they are the "city's first brick-and-mortar romance bookstore." But I did find another that also claims this too! Regardless, I'm ALWAYS going to go to a #romancebookstore! I also happens to walk in during an #authorevent, where Lily Larkspur was signing "Merry Meet Again. Lily said if Hallmark movies were my jam, the.n I'd like her book, so obviously I got it. Signed, and all I honestly don't need any more books (WEIRD to say), so i browsed for a good, long while. But finally, I settled on a book with the edges sprayed in a soccer ball pattern -- the girly tomboy in me loves a book about my fave sport The bookstore, all 600 square feet, is extremely packed full of all romance genres that are very visibly labeled. They also have adorable merch, clothing, and tons of romance trinkets. But BY FAR are the Cockmark (bookmarks) that are so unassuming Also, just down the street is the brand new Thrillerdeplia, a horror and thriller bookstore! I didn't have a chance to swing by, but I'm adding it to my "to do" list! Philly has a limited selection findependent bookstores but Cupid is worth a visit!
