I could easily spend hours here, and did, last Sunday! What gorgeous decor, layout, vibes and selection they have! Workers were really friendly as well. The prices of books were high though--no discount at all for new books. Fine to support local but this is why the library will still always be my favorite. What I was confused about is how the books are organized because it is not by author nor by used/new. I'm pretty sure new books were placed right next to pre-owned ones on the same shelf... I did enjoy all the gift and merchandise displays. They were all set up in a way that looked irresistible to buy! My BF bought this photography coffee table book he was really excited about and I got a children's novel illustrated by Jon Klassen (big fans!).

Whether you are a book lover or not, there's something for everyone in this wonderful place.

The people working there were very knowledgeable and friendly. The book collection alone is incredible. There is multiple room rooms and the sanctuary holds very old and important books and is definitely interesting to look around in. They also have a cute gift shop that has very cool gifts and handmade items as well. Totally a great find if you are looking for something fun to do, or just looking for a few books.

This is definitely A MUST visit when you come to Erie. It's…read morea community's bookstore that has recently added a coffee shop inside. They offer a wide selections of books, both well-loved (2nd-hand) and new, from Mystery, Romance, History, to Children's books. It is such a relaxing and peaceful experience to browse around the store, looking for a treasure to be found (You can also join their book club). If you are looking for a gift or souvenir, there are also small gifts such as stationary items or treats from local places like Lake Erie Candy Co. All the way in the back is a coffee shop that sources coffee from North Edge Craft Coffee (Erie's own roasting company), and a bakery, offering foods such as bagels and cupcakes. So far, I have only tried Chai tea latte and Dirty chai, but will definitely try other items in the future. My favourite part here, other than delicious drinks and books, are that they offer to buy back the book that you recently purchased, and will give you store credit to be used for your next purchase, or you can also bring in any books you currently own, and sell it to them for store credit. Grab a drinks, your favourite book and get lost in another world!

First off I'd like to say that it is awesome that Meadville even has a bookstore. In an era of…read moredigital technology bookstores all over the country are harder and harder to find. I love bookstores and have been to many throughout the country. Tattered Corners is very average. Mostly paperbacks here with an alright selection. The pricing system is very strange. Tattered Corners sells their books for half of what the publishers listing is. This leads to some either great or awful deals. For books produced in the 70's and before you can get them for a couple bucks. But anything from the 90's onward is between 8 and 12 dollars, and for a used bookstore that is kind of pricey. I understand that this is a small business and there is only ever one person working. So to expect employee reviews placed throughout the story (great bookstores always have these) I guess is a little too much to ask. Also, there are no collections of literary journals or magazines, (something I love about independent bookstores) so that is also a bit of a bummer. But as I said, I'm just being picky and maybe even a bit pretentious. I'm glad Meadville has a bookstore and I hope Tattered Corners stays in business for a long time!

It was great to see kids play with puppets and stuffed animals. Some children played with books while others read. We just happened to be present when author Jowan Smith was reading to children. We really enjoyed the readings, and the children were engaged. The Starbucks worker passed out vanilla drinks to enjoy while we listened. We will definitely return soon.

It seems like really the only time I go to Barnes & Noble is around Christmas time.

We were there to get some baby books for my newborn nephew, and then I spotted their vinyl section. The final section seems to be growing and growing and they actually had a really good selection. I was able to snag an album for my daughter. And then I saw the DVD section. The DVD prices are on par with Walmart and Target. With exception though the DVD I wanted, yesterday, was about $10 more than amazon.com. Knowing that I would probably forget to order it I went ahead and bought it even though it cost $10 more. they do have a member style club where you save about 30% on your purchases but you have to pay $25 to become a member but it ended up being a net gain for us says we overall saved about 6 bucks with a discount and having to buy the membership. The kid that work there did a pretty good job of helping us find our movie but it is a tad pricey.
