“IN 2021....The gentleman who ran the store was very informative and knew all kinds of information about mostly all the products.I enjoyed my visit and my products that I purchased and will be returning as soon as my seamoss and Shea Butter supply gets low.UPDATE FOR 2024***Just recently visited after a VERY LONG time away and I must say that the NEW LOCATION is even better!!It's so inviting and there are soooo many things to look at as soon as you step in the door.My favorite host ( he doesn't feel like a salesman) was still running the store. I enjoyed my talks with him while shopping. I tried a NEW PRODUCT and purchased sea moss. Go visit them. It's wonderful”
“I had Tarot & Tea at The Gibbon House on Saturday. The wonderful ladies there said the tea & sugar came from this bookstore. We obviously had to go directly there after this event! The tea & sugar are to die for!!! The store is absolutely adorable and has a very wide selection of books and other super cute items!!! Fell in love with the pumpkin made of a book!! Will definitely be returning!!”
“One of the jewels of Philadelphia. Doesn't matter what you're looking for you gotta go. Vinyl? Check. Cookbooks? Of course. Fiction? Duh. Poetry? Like 15 percent of the store! I love going to Molly's. I wish I could go write there and let the magic live in me.”
“Larry and his cat Lester were my favorite part of living in University city. I spent a lot of afternoons there looking through the shelves after class and when I moved away, I missed this spot the most.”
“Went in, haven't been here in some time. Glad I stopped in, purchased two books, had some great dialogue. The best Gem in West Philadelphia, and a Historic Landmark.”
“I was thrilled to find an independent bookstore without having to go to Philly. I've been there several times and each time I've gotten a few books that turned out to be excellent, by authors i wasn't familiar with.The staff is friendly and not intrusive- they don't interrupt my quiet perusing, but are available if needed.”
“Cool space with a good selection of anarchist and leftist books and zine and some really cool merch and posters. If you are in the neighborhood I’d recommend stopping in if you are interested in that sort of thing.”
“Absolutely great experience! Never been and brought my sister for the first time as well as she visited from down south. The staff is super nice & helpful! The vibe was great! Will definitely be returning!”
“Cute little bookstore. Go when you have time to look. There are 2 floors. (I didnt get a chance to chech out 2nd floor) LOTS of books on just about everything! Loved it.”
“Excellent toy store! Beautiful selection of toys, books, games and so much more for all ages. The staff are very helpful and genuinely care about imaginative play, creativity, and learning and development. They also offer free gift wrapping.”
“Great customer service--from halfway across the country! They were hosting an author event, and the staff went the extra mile to ship me a book because I couldn't make it in person. I had a great experience and would buy from them again.”
“This is a phenomenal second hand bookstore in Philadelphia. Not only is it in a great location on South Street, but it has a stellar selection of new and used books. Curtis, the owner, makes an effort to find and stock highly sought after and well kept editions. He's also a great conversationalist. I come for the books, but stay for the 30+ minute conversation. Great shop. Great owner. I couldn't recommend Neighborhood Books more.”
“They no longer carry back issues. It's only new comics and account stuff now. It still gets a solid 5 stars from previous times I have gone over the years, sadly though it no longer has that gorgeous back issue section. A shadow of its former self, great staff, though.”

“I love this bookstore, I visit almost every Saturday and have used the online services. There is also a great children's and used section, both of which support charity”
“I Took My Granddaughter Here And They Have An Enormous Selection Of Children's Books... They Have A Really Nice Section To Sit Down With Your Child And Read... I Purchased Several Books For My Granddaughter, She Was Very Happy...”
“If you love new and used books. Then this is the place to be. I spent $8.09 for a used hardcover copy of Dodsworth published in 1926. Plus a $1.00 donation to the cause.The staff here is awesome.I have such a high regard for used books. Sometimes just settling in with a cup of tea and some sunshine. To read a great story. Being transported to the author's vision. There is nothing like it.You have to see this store. They also have clothing items for sale.I highly recommend this store.”
“I’ve been buying Islamic books from this store for a while now — Alhamdullillāh — so visiting it for the first time, coming from out of state, was a really nice experience. They had such a wide range of books to choose from — mā shā’ Allāh, tabārak Allāh — and of course, you can’t leave without getting books — Alhamdullillāh.
I forgot to take pictures, but they also had a great selection of modest clothing — it was refreshing to see. There were so many pieces I wanted to get, but with all the smiles and excitement, I would’ve gone broke!
I ended up getting an overhead and an ʿabāyah — both made from very beautiful material. They were a bit on the pricey side, but the quality (at least for the ones I purchased) was genuinely nice, so I could understand the pricing. From my experience, Philly tends to be a bit pricey overall, so it aligns with what I’ve seen Islamic clothing typically go for in the city — wa Allāhu Aʿlam.
Alhamdullillāh, the owner and his wife were very kind and pleasant. May Allāh bless them, preserve their business in goodness, and make it pleasing to Him. Āmīn.”

“Toni & Ronnie are seriously the best! I made multiple trips to the bookstore during alumni weekend and they handled the busy store with grace and an amazing sense of humor!”
“Nice little book store with good prices and a wide variety of genres- though not many well known books/series on the shelves. I personally wish the poetry section were larger! Organized nicely, and not cramped. :)”
“Love this place. Best sci Fi selection of any independent bookstore in Philly. The definition of chaotic good in a bookstore. Also-- If you are a teacher you get an extra discount!”
“Fantastic indie bookstore in the cutest neighborhood in Philadelphia. As a fellow bookstore owner (Huxley & Hiro in Wilmington, DE), my rep Jason Rice recommended that I come check out Head House Books, and I'm glad I did. Beautiful displays and a great use of the bookstore space. They also carry a good selection of greeting cards, lots of children's books, and various gift items. Highly recommended!!”
“House of Our Own Books is a charming independent bookstore located in a Victorian house on the edge of the University of Pennsylvania campus in Philadelphia. They offer a wide selection of new and used books, spanning nearly every genre and featuring a balance of hardcover and paperback volumes. With a cozy atmosphere and friendly staff, House of Our Own Books is a haven for book lovers in Philadelphia.”
“A lovely, well curated bookstore in the heart of South Philly. Everyone there is extremely kind and helpful - you can tell that they support and care deeply about the community.”
“I've been to this Barnes & Noble countless times, and it’s easily one of the most beautiful locations I’ve visited. The selection is perfectly curated, the atmosphere is inviting, and most of the staff are incredibly helpful and friendly...except for one.
Today, after countless times of ignoring a certain employee and not allowing their behavior to affect me, I finally felt compelled to speak up. Once again, a slightly older male employee wearing dark glasses made my visit unpleasant. This employee, working at cashier number 2652, responded to my simple question with a slightly snarky tone and ended our interaction with an unpleasant "Bye."
Despite feeling uneasy, I chose to respond with kindness, wishing him a great day. However, this pattern of behavior has made my visits uncomfortable. I hope management sees this review and takes the opportunity to address this employee’s approach to customer service. I don't wish him any reprimand or ill will, I just hope he is encouraged to treat every customer with kindness and professionalism so that no one else has a similar experience or feels discriminated against.”

“Books Through Bars does excellent work in sending free book packages to inmates in Pennsylvania and surrounding states. They're completely volunteer-run & host volunteering sessions for people to help pick/pack books. Volunteer organizers are friendly and helpful. I highly recommend volunteering there! You can just drop in & spend 30 minutes or a few hours, whatever you like. Whenever I volunteer there, it feels like I'm really making a difference in someone's life -- because I am. It's an eye-opening experience that gives me a new perspective. Books Through Bars also takes donations (money, books they need, supplies) so there are lots of ways to support them even if you can't make it down there in person.”
“Going back to school using my VA GI Bill. This is the best decision I made in a while and will benefit me for the rest of my life. If you're a veteran and have your school loan available take advantage of it. It's a super easy process. Go Army”
“The staff is super helpful, and the textbook and school sprit selection is stellar! This is yet another great Rutgers-Camden shop, when you need supplies, and have some cash/ RUExpress on hand.”
“A good small Islamic store, with a diverse amount of items. I found a nice kufi for myself and a one piece hijab for my wife, but if I spent more time there I am sure I would of purchased alot more, insha'Allah. They have a large amount of thobes, niqabs, hijabs, Islamic books and other Islamic clothing (including shirts). I will come here again, insha'Allah upon my next visit to Camden.”

“A nice place to sit down and read a book and enjoy a Starbucks coffee with a croissant or one of the many choices of cakes and pastries. Some books are a little pricey but they have good sales from time to time”
