Awesome bookstore with a dangerously large selection of books on the War Between the States…read more Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Look forward to my next visit.

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.

Love this bookstore! Besides new best-sellers, they carry a selection of used hardcover and…read morepaperbacks at a discounted rate. They also have tea, candles, greeting cards, and "Pitman" themed gifts like prints and ornaments.

What's not to love about local, independent bookstores?! They combine almost all my favorite…read morethings, and this spot is especially charming on Pitman's now bustling stretch of Broadway. There are books, presents, local goods, non-book gifts and more for sale & on display. I stopped by recently to pick up some gift cards for holiday presents & walked out with a Pitman coffee mug, local honey and a pack of cards as well. Truthfully there were lots more fun things to buy if I hadn't done most of my holiday shopping already. And if they don't have the book you want in stock, they will gladly order it for you. So happy to see a new local bookseller in business and I will make sure to ask for gift cards for my kiddos from family in the future! Also a great place to shop for those teacher gifts too

The owner is rude and belligerent!! He is unkind to the local students and a big disappointment to…read morethe community. As a Camden native, I am sad to hear the condescending remarks he made towards the youth of our city. He doesn't deserve their business and he'll never get any more of mine. An old sage should seize the teachable moment to train these children. Instead he cursed them out for asking questions about the books and berated them for their inquiry. He told them he doesn't want their urban trash in his store. SHAME ON YOU!!!​ #shamefulbehavior

He has a wealth of knowledge and puts thought into selecting the books that he sells. Talk to him if you need reading suggestions or if you want to learn more about this bookstore's history.

I love this store. Tom, the owner, is one of the friendliest people I've ever met. The inventory is…read moreconstantly updated and the store often runs great sales.

This is possibly the most beautiful, lovingly curated, intensely engaging bookstores I think I've…read moreentered. I love books and love walking into bookstores everywhere. Experiencing the Ida environment was like visiting an art museum where you could touch the exhibit pieces, buy them if interested, learn about others, and think about how to enjoy, display, read and learn from the written word. And, the colors, the tones, the paint on the walls - add to the vibe. And...then the way that the kind sales guy packaged my books in twine so that I (or my husband did) carried my books as people use to do in the old days, when paper bags were not needed and there was pride in walking out with a stack of your new (or used) books for your reading pleasure. Go go go and open yourself to a new bookstore experience. You will not be disappointed.

The transaction took about 15 minutes but we talked for almost an hour. Sam is a rare find in this business and in fact in this world. She's a gem and I wouldn't do business anywhere else.

The back issues bins have been upgraded from endless rows of beat-up white paper boxes to a beautiful and easier-to-sift-through shelving system with integrated display bins. The books in that section are two dollars a piece.

The store owner is friendly and welcoming, too. He can either talk to you all day about comics or just be quiet and let you do your thing.
