“Such a cozy store filled with an amazing selection!! We got several books from the kids area as well as a vintage fishing book from the main section! We'll definitely be back!”
“The best unique bookstore,card ,store , unique gifts,games, multiple genres for all people. Gotcha gifts , funny, tshirts,bags,posters, jewelry,stickers...so much to look at and shop for. Love this original Shadyside local business ❤A must stop for great keepsakes and unique gifts”
“My favorite bookstore! I always stop in when I'm in town. You can't beat the selection, the knowledge of the owners, or the fantastic customer service.”
“A super independent bookstore in Pittsburgh. Traveling here from the Bay Area, we were recommended to come to the White Whale, and it did not disappoint! Excellent staff recs-- cool fantasy section. It's essentially got two rooms —one with a traditional independent bookstore atmosphere, and a coffee area connected to it with spaces to work. I liked the memoir and essay section. Unique, thoughtful picks, and the staff message cards were well done-- clearly a lot of thought put into this! They had an impressive Young Adult section and a Young Adult LGBTQ+ section. As a film student, I came across a great book about David Lynch. Great place to visit if you're in Pittsburgh! Highly recommend!”
“LOVE this bookstore. It’s cute as heck inside and the staff is always very friendly. I love that they provide a few gifty things but it isn’t over run by knick knacks and focuses on books.”
“Such a cozy and unique selection bookstore! If you love to find rare books or spiritual reads, it's definitely the place to go. The ambience is so relaxing and staff is very friendly and helpful. I would definitely cozy up with a good find in this magical bookstore!”
“Wait until you open the door and walk inside! It's like stepping through the doors of a wardrobe and into a magical place - because it is. Within you will find many beautiful and curious things curated by the owner who is always happy to share her knowledge and insight and answer any questions you might have. The prices at Sparkledragon are more than reasonable. The things I've purchased there cost double or triple elsewhere. The owner is trustworthy, kind and as honest as they come. You will enjoy your shopping experience at Sparkledragon.”
“Brunch was fantastic! It was hard to pick because everything sounded delicious, but we did the burrata and the frittata. Excellent choices. Plus the brunch drink menu was great. Great service and atmosphere; bonus: got 15% off the books I bought for having dined in!”
“Riverstone is a local store that sells books for adults and children as well as gifts such as stuffed animals, puzzles, and greeting cards. During my visit, I purchased a couple of items, and two employees courteously served me. I read on this store’s website that they hold in-store events such as meetings with authors and story times for children.”
“Calming music, nice chairs to sit and read, and it smells like fresh books! Iykyk. It’s so hard to decide when you’re here! Such a large verity of stuff. There’s great things for kids too and not just books, but toys and tabletop stuff for all ages. Pretty big store.”
“Amazing staff. Amazing bookfairs (much better than Scholastic). I had the pleasure of being both an employee and a patron, and truly, the events and care that go into this indie bookstore is exceptional. Don't just check it out. Become a regular, go to the events, etc. You won't regret it!”
“There is nothing quite like rummaging through a bookstore. Seeing the actual books and holding them in your hand. While I do shop online at times as well, it will never replace going to Barnes & Noble and browsing.”
“A mecca of sorts. Bill is a legend in the alt / indie / underground comics scene and runs this incredible store on his own, seemingly through pure magick and love.The selection is.. overwhelming, to put it mildly, but Bill somehow keeps a mental inventory of everything and will dig through boxes to find you some obscure gems.I wish i could spend weeks here (and a small fortune).Prices are great.The online shop is phenomenal if you can't make it in person.Support this Pittsburgh treasure!”
“She had such an awesome vibe about her and the story it’s that classic bookstore where you never know what treasures you’ll find! She had a lot of books that I had never heard of which I absolutely love”
“Books + Ice Cream + Cute Stuff = perfect place to forget about time for a bit. Wish I had a shop like this at home because it’s so cute and has something for everyone!”
“Friendly staff, well organized , ease of getting materials into the store for evaluation, excellent selection of pre-owned books. Etc.
I am pleased to have the VHS tapes and children's books find new homes and receive some money for them vs donating 2 GoodWill”
“Really interesting selection of books including new and used! The used ones are discounted which is really nice and the layout is very easy to navigate! They also have a deal running at the time of me writing this review where if you buy 3 items you can get 1 item (under $10) for free!”

“Scholastic Book Fairs make it possible for teachers, volunteers, and other caring adults (and other kids) to get books into the hands of readers of all ages and reading levels.”
“I have been buying books from this store for the past year and have never been disappointed. I have had to ask for recommendations based on my children's interests and Lea has always delivered stellar lists. I look forward to visiting the store in person and attending a book reading. I will continue to recommend The Tiny Bookstore to all of my friends and family!”
“Very relaxing and calming vibe! Always wanted to go in after my doctor's appointments. I went in yesterday and was too shy to ask but what music do you guys play? Absolutely loved it!”
“Book books books! They have an incredible deal that if you buy three you get one free! I bought some of the most incredible books from the 1900’s still with placeholders and letters inside them. This is not a bookshop you want to skip over, and the employees are very nice, and will help you find what you’re looking for!”
“Clean spacious layout with a large selection of books on just about everything common and uncommon hard to find gems at great prices. A nice size music collection new and old with those rare uncommon groups cds, vinyls and vintage few 8 tracks. Around the store are toys, figures and forgotten favorites that are priced at below market prices which is why I drive 3 hrs just to roam and enjoy the treasures waiting to be found at Half Price Books. Stop in and take a look around im sure you'll find a forgotten memory that'll bring a smile to your face and not attack to the wallet.”

“Fantastic and honest small business. They had a cookbook I couldn’t find anywhere else and opened the store to accommodate my needed. Excellent experience”
“Went to the warehouse and was greeted and graciously taken care of. However, they do say that it is an online shop only, so would recommend buying online instead. Books look great and are in good condition. Clean and easy shopping experience!”
“visited for the first time today and was greeted with kind and friendly staff and great conversation, will be visiting as soon as i have some extra money to spend on some books!”
“Best starbucks around. The guy there is an awesome Barista and for some reason the drinks taste way better when he's working. Great selection of books and employees are always helpful and friendly.”
“Amazing Books & Records is a treasure trove, constantly replenished with new additions to browse through and buy. I spend a great deal of time there, and it's always a real pleasure. Eric Ackland and his staff have become friends, whom I greatly enjoy talking to. I mainly go to Squirrel Hill, and now there is a new branch downtown!”
“Typical University Bookstore in 2025. Not many books, but cool apparel and knickknacks representing Carnegie Mellon. And you could have bought a class ring off a really cool guy with and an even better beard.”

“There’s so much to love about this bookshop. I had passed it sever times over the years shopping on Brilliant, and now, in this season as a new mom, I am able to enjoy it! We visited during the Pittsburgh Book Crawl and were blown away by the intentional titles on the shelves, family friendly bathrooms amenities, arts and crafts area (we’ll be back for a class!) and costume play space. Thank you for the magic you are creating in the area!”
