    Always love stopping in and trading in books at the end of my semester for store credit. I usually…read moreturn that right around and get new novels for the next semester. Owner is sooo friendly and very intelligent! She is always helpful when asked and happy to talk about literature or family. Books are priced fair, and it's always worth turning in some books for store credit, their system is perfect for a revolving door of patronage. Always a lovely time here!

    I have shopped in many used bookstores in the Philadelphia/New Jersey/Delaware Valley area, and…read morethis was the worst customer service I have experienced! The woman working there was not very friendly, and when I first "found" her (she was not visible, and I said, "Hello, is anybody here?", to which she did not reply), she acted as if I was bothering her. She asked me what genres I was interested in, went and pointed out where a few were, and then left me. She was then talking to a regular customer, and seemed more interested in "gabbing" with him. There was no explanation from her of their pricing scheme, and since she was chatting with that customer, I felt like I should ask another customer, who was nice enough to explain it. I guess that I was spoiled by Labyrinth Books the day before when I was in Princeton, which gave me excellent customer service from every employee there that I came in contact with - probably the best I've ever had! I plan to return to the area, but I will never come back here.

    This was an adorable bookshop! We were so excited to stumble upon it during our day trip to New…read moreHope. I was initially delighted because it was so well organized and every section seemed to have a generous offering of books. The children's section was particularly large and had books for kiddos of all ages. My sister and I were also excited to snag Farley's Bookshop tote bags to rep this adorable store once we get home. As a bonus, the cashier was super friendly and eager to answer our various bookish questions.

    My wife and I read obsessively, averaging a book a week each. We happened upon this shop while…read morespending the day in New Hope. We love a good independent bookstore versus buying from the big guys or ordering from Amazon, and we do what we can to help such shops continue to exist. This one, however, missed the mark in our opinion. This isn't somewhere you go if you have something specific in mind, in my opinion. This store is meant for browsing, as the collection is eclectic. I also wouldn't say you can find several new releases here. There are sections for most interests, which is nice. The store is small, which makes things feel cramped and squeezed in. It also hurts organization a bit. The man at the front desk was slightly cold and not particularly welcoming. Most folks seemed afraid to speak, the store being dead silent. Typically, the indie shops are welcoming and cozy, not stuffy and serious. Atmosphere was a bit off. Prices were fair. However, this is one of the rare times we couldn't find something to read in a book shop... It's not awful and not great, just average.
