This store is adorable! They have so many books, so many sections and subsections! There is parking…read morein the front, and elsewhere around the little strip area of shops. If you pull in, you do end up backing onto a busy road so leave with caution. As I said, they have a great selection. There are four rooms of boons, each section is clearly labeled and occasional thematic decor. There are also occasional benches so you can sit and debate which books you want to "adopt". They're used, but gently and each has a price lower then the face value written inside. They also have the largest selection of Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys I've ever seen. Its all very impressive.

You walk inside and there are books EVERYWHERE. This is my favorite type of bookstore- where every…read morenook and cranny has a treasure and you can spend a whole day investigating what they have. They were also so nice!

Somebody tell me how this place has been in its current location for 20 years yet my husband and I…read morenever noticed it until last week?! This is everything I want in a used bookstore. It's not slick like a Half-priced Books location, and it is packed with treasure. Mostly decent prices for 2024 and although I would say the science fiction section is either small or hard to find because it's mixed in with a lot of fantasy, it does have one and I bought some things I'm really happy about finding. I even found something from my to-read list that I didn't think I was going to be able to. I also found a copy of an Anthony Trollope book I've wanted to read for a long time, but couldn't find in the libraries I've tried. My husband went straight for the Christmas section and added some really lovely things to our collection. There's no place to sit, but the very nice person working there (the owner, I think) allowed me to rest my bad back in one of her desk chairs. I wish I had known about this place when I had more people to buy books for, but I'm thrilled to have found it now and I can't wait to go back. Next time, I will treat my best friend to a visit here.

The Book Garden is really something different. The owners seem to know every book that's for sale…read morein their store of thousands of books. there are categories of subjects for every preference. It's relaxing to shop there. It's a great place for the curious to find a new subject to delve into. Whether historic or new, hardcover or not, stop here for your next good read and expect to pay a reasonable price.

Prices are affordable and all books are in very good condition, many are even like new! My 5 year old loves going to pick out picture books, chapter books, and non-fiction science books! We will keep coming back.

This store is absolutely amazing!!! I am a teacher and love the new and used teacher section. I…read morealso love that they take in used books.

This is a terrific place to spend an hour or a few. It is an old house converted into a book store…read morewith nothing but used books. All of the books are in gently used condition and 50-70% off the original price. The selection is not the largest, but it is absolutely cozy and a great spot to try and discover your next great read. The books are organized by category/genre and arranged on individual shelves throughout several different rooms. The ground floor and the second floor combine to offer a total of a dozen rooms filled with books. You can come across the occasional well loved and filled with individual commentary along the margins. More often you will find a book you have been meaning to get but never took the time. If you take the time and you don't mind browsing you can definitely find some bargains. There is also frequently a rack of books on the front porch going for less than a $1 each. There are certainly larger bookstores and stores with larger selections. This one blends perfectly into this small-town and on a lazy weekend afternoon can certainly offer up some wonderful books for real bargain prices.

I almost always find a few books that I want to take home. I definitely prefer books over more time looking at any kind of screen. And the price can't be beat. The variety is good too. I don't know if it will suit everyone but I love the mystery section and whenever I look for another genre I am very pleased with what is there.

Beautiful spot, great service, and a massive collection of used books. I came on my birthday and it…read morewas a blast to just walk up all of the floors (I think there were 4) and see what they had. The only thing I wish is that they'd had a bigger collection of Easton Press/Franklin Press books - I came looking for more classics and I found this particular collection to be a little small. Otherwise, amazing spot.

This is one of the most unique bookstores I've ever been to. When you first walk into this building…read morethat looks like an old castle, you are given a map - that's how big this place is and how many nooks and crannies there are! It's stocked with used books, mostly from several decades ago, so don't expect to find recent releases. I snagged two Agatha Christie books, which can be challenging to find. It's a fun place to explore, and if you're looking for an older book, this is the place to come.

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.

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.
