Charges full list price for used books. Lame. Won't be back again. I love to support local businesses but not when they act like this.

My husband and j would come here when we were dating, 5 years ago and we've made a trip to come back every year to take the same photo. We love the charm and smell that this book shop has. There's nothing like walking in and looking for a book.

If chaotic good was personified in a bookshop this would be it. Lots of cool finds and the staff member in on the day we went was very helpful.

While this place is musty, overstuffed, extremely disorganized, and all around a mess, it somehow manages to also be a book lovers paradise at the same time.I was there for well over an hour and could’ve spent the whole day browsing.Huge variety of new and used books.No prices on anything.Despite its flaws I highly recommend visiting.

Fantastically beautiful albeit overwhelming in the best way. If you're expecting a Barnes & Noble experience, look elsewhere! Had exactly what I wanted and was insane fun to browse.

Hoarders paradise. At least Barnes and Noble is organized and doesn't try to turn away customers

Bookstores like this are rare these days. When you visit you should make sure you're not in a rush. You'll never know what you'll find while browsing!

An absolute delight of a bookstore! While it may not be for everyone it's a step back in time, before cellphones and the internet. Very friendly and knowledgeable proprietor. Worthy of a visit whenever you're in the area to see what new material they have in stock.

Small "business" making very little attempt to sell anything to anyone; A&E should film an episode of the hit series "Hoarders" at Pickwick Book Shop.Are you looking for something specific or just browsing? It barely matters: titles aren't organized by author or by genre, nor are they even separated by "new" or used. And yes, the scare quotes are justified. The store attempts to market gently-used-but-clearly-decades-old titles as "new" and worth cover MSRP, even for out-of-print textbooks. I suppose they could hypothetically justify this if they maintained inventory with an antiquarian spirit, but Pickwick seems possessed more by the geist of a storage locker than an archive: complete with unstowed building materials, copious dust, and a fetid stench.Many bookstores have overly pretentious and unjustified names, but Pickwick actually managed to reference the right author if the wrong work. Obviously, they should have named the store Havisham's House of Books: the Miss couldn't separate old from new either.
