Fantastic bookstore with a huge selection of used books. Jen, the owner is super nice, I really enjoyed chatting with her. They do regular author events and book clubs as well, and they've got a nice selection of gifts like socks, chocolate, greeting cards, etc. A real gem in the Hockessin community!

Very cute bookstore! We weren't looking for anything in particular, but it was impossible to leave empty handed. I'll be keeping this place in mind next time I'm looking for a new book!

Nice selection of books for a small store, combined with their wonderful discount, had my daughter and I leaving with a stack of books. ?? They also have very charming and unique note/greeting cards. I'm so glad that we finally got to shop here and look forward to going there again.
The Hockessin BookShelf is a new and used bookstore located in Hockessin, Delaware established in 2002. Like our state, the BookShelf, with 826 square feet of inventory space, is a small wonder. We stock a little bit of everything with our largest sections being fiction, mystery, romance and children’s books.
We host authors, both nationally and locally published, non-author events, book clubs and workshops. For us the Shop Local movement is a way of life and our community partnerships are invaluable. We are known for our customer service and a well-read staff — we love books and our reading habits are eclectic. We have become the go to store for summer reading, book groups and fun in-store promotions.
