What an absolute gem of a bookshop The Book House is in Dillsburg! I cannot convey in words just…read morehow delightful this place is - it's everything you'd hope for in a small, hole in the wall, everything's cramped but also clearly well maintained "there's hidden treasure everywhere" kind of place. The selection of used books is astounding, and the varying levels of quality was unexpected too - nothing was garbage, and while there are clearly used books here, there are also really nice, mint level books too. To give you an idea of the scope of books I'm talking about here, I left with a mint paperback of Starship Troopers from 1997, and a high quality copy of the published 1896 Pennsylvania School Laws (yes, that's a very old book). The staff are incredibly helpful and know their inventory well - don't be afraid to ask for help finding something if you've spent 20 minutes lost in treasure hunting mode. I cannot stress enough how great The Book House is - it is the quintessential used bookshop where you'll find yourself fully immersed in the browsing experience. Check it out whenever you get a chance!

What a joy to have a bookshop above a farmer's market! Lady Matilda and I schedule our quarterly…read morevisit to the Farmer's Market when the store is open. Check the days and hours before you visit. Lady Matilda and I come to the market for our meats and spices, grab a soft pretzel or three from the Amish kiosk, and see what the Bookworm has to surprise us. It's a friendly shop where they remember you and your tastes. I've converted a lot of clients and friends in the area who were quick to dismiss it as just another dirt-mall book dump. Absolutely not. The store carries the professionalism of classic independent booksellers with the fun of a friendly mom-and-pop store. Take a break from the busy market on your next visit.

This little gem of a used bookstore can be found inside the delightful West Shore Farmer's Market…read more You might think at first that there isn't much to see, but when approaching the store inside the market, you come to discover that what exists in the hallway is only the outside of the Bookworm Bookstore. There's so much to see inside, with all kinds of book genres all well-organized and easy to search. The staff was incredibly friendly and approached me twice to ask if there was something they could help me find. They knew where everything was and knew sometimes even before they'd look what was on the shelves and what wasn't (or what just sold a couple of days/weeks ago). Very insightful and their kindness made the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend for the used book lover!

I browsed through the books & finally landed on the true crime section, which peaked my interest. I grabbed a book & took it to checkout, they were polite & offered me a bag. The book price was very affordable & I even got a discount! Unfortunately the cats were hiding so I didn't get to say hello to them, but this is such a gem of a store & i recommend that you visit!

They did have quite a large romance section throughout the store which isn't particularly my jam, but I totally get there's a large market for them right now. My books were 33% off for Christmas in July which was awesome! 5 books for under $30 is a steal in my opinion. Definitely a good deal :)

I would like to have a section for inspirational reads. Books on Christianity, faith, hope, joy in the pain, the Holy Bible is a fantastic start. Non fiction or fiction. The tarot and physic readings that are readily available in the store along with their witch gatherings are just extremely unsettling. There are a lot of skulls and i get that it's "dark academia" but something about it feels extremely off. If you know, you know and you know what i'm talking about.

This is definitely one of the best hole in the wall book stores we have come across. Grumpy's Books…read moredoes not disappoint on the book selection! At all! Literally something for everyone and anyone. If you can't find something to take home here..you're broken go home! Lol. If we didn't have somewhere to be when we stopped we definitely would have been there for more than the 45mins we spent there. There are so many rooms, and a basement overflowing with books. They also have CDs, records, vhs tapes, art work, old magazines/news papers..just so many things. The prices on some things are a touch high...but it's worth it if it keeps Grumpy's going. There is a public restroom if you end up staying longer than expected..like we did. We ended up taking home 5 books, a picture we took off the wall, and an awesome experience..spent $16 for everything.
