You'll find things separated by genre upstairs and a lot of great suggestions for local authors and new reads downstairs. Great ideas for gifts, a lot of hyper-local reads and trinkets, and just a great way to expand your mind for an afternoon. I like getting a beverage, walking around, and reading backs of books to add to my list. I typically prefer to buy from small, local bookshops, but when I know I need something specific (in this case, a smutty beach read and the new Sally Rooney), I tend to gravitate here for ease. That being said, they didn't have the exact smutty beach read I was looking for! I know Emily Henry is Emily Henry and it's spring break season but...come on. We must keep her stocked for the girlies! Overall, a great option for killing time in center city and refilling your literary cup with inspiration. Happy reading!

They can/do sell out of items so if you see something you want, you better snag it because it might not be there forever. They have a wonderful staff that is always happy to help. I've been crunched for time and they pulled the item and had it sitting up front waiting for me when I walked in the door. Great service! They also wrap gifts, I'm not sure if its free or not... I've never needed them to wrap anything, but I do think it's free. They have a great rewards program so always remember to give them your name so they can punch your card. Since popping in here on a whim Learning Express Toys has now become my go to spot for gift buying.

‼ ‼ ‼ ‼ ‼‼‼‼‼‼ This…read moreshop violates the Pennsylvania General Assembly: 1937 Act 5 section 12. In almost every way. This is my first review ever.... and now I understand why people do this. Formans is shady looking take as much form you as they can possibly get legal or illegal. It's one thing to make profit....it's another to look to rip people off ‼ A few months back I took a loan out at this place on an item of both monetary and sentimental value. Fast forward to the 17th of March I paid 500 for my March payment (last payment made on 2/13)...meaning I only owed 185 or so in interest the rest is automatically supposed to go to the principal right⁉ Nope not at this place‼ This guy says since I paid on the 13th of Feb, and the 17th in March that 4 days automatically put me on the hook to pay interest for the entire month of April which hasn't even arrived. He says that in the state of PA 1 day over equates to the entire months interest when it comes to pawn broker loans. He acutely took 2 months interest and tried to justify it by saying it's how it's always been. Really? Sounds like your customers have been getting taken advantage of for years then‼ (ThIs is % against the law) What's even more f'ed up is in January I paid on the 16th (remember last month in Feb I paid on the 13th) So I paid a few days early right ⁉ Nope not at this place‼ According to him it doesn't matter when you pay you got 30days. Go past by 1 day you accrue the entire next months interest, pay a little early... so what. he starts your loan over that day. Don't matter if you pay 5 days before or 5 days after this guy is pushing you into the next months interest before it even gets here. This way you never pay off the loan because you're never paying on the principal. Not sure how they've been getting away with it long.

I wouldn't recommend anyone bring anything of real value to this place for loans purposes. This guy doesn't understand how the law works regarding pawn broker loans. It seems as if he's doing everything possible to keep my property. He's manipulating the system every month to get over while pretending not to understand math, or how his computer works. (huge con) They refuse to give you a proper receipt detailing what you paid and how your funds are to be distributed...ie principal/interest. (Also illegal‼) Anyone else been scammed by them don't hesitate to reach out to the email below. Id like to see if others are experiencing any of the same issues with this guy and how you feel about your transactions after copy/pasting/reading the attached PA law paragraphs. Were you treated lawfully ⁉ Every time I go in there to pay he comes up with a new way to try to take extra money in interest. I seriously doubt I'm the only one. zos9805@gmail.com PS.
