“Great selection! I love that they carry books that you don't see at corporate chains like B&N, whoever stocks those shelves knows that they're doing. I'll definitely be back.”
“Great customer service... Great books... Great products for health and beauty... Great experience all around! Number 1 on my list! I definitely recommend a visit.”
“Today was my first visit to Mejah books. I found the kinds of books I was looking for right away (inspirational and romance). I had great conversation with Sakoyia and Miss Em which gave me peace and a sense of belonging. I also picked up some flavored chewing sticks as well as a huge bar of coconut soap that smells heavenly! I will definitely be back very soon.”
“I frequently visit Barnes and Noble at Lawrence Park Shopping Center. It's a wecoming place. I am always there for books, beautiful Christmas Cards ( the only place I purchase my holiday cards), magazines, adorable stuffed animals, unusual games, and a great children's section.
The staff is always helpful finding or ordering a book for me. Clean and open. Whenever I'm at Lawrence Park, which is weekly, I wonder into Barnes and Noble.”
“Bindlestiff Books in West Philadelphia is a hidden gem for book lovers! This volunteer-run neighborhood bookstore offers a wonderfully eclectic mix of new and discounted books. From children's books and literary fiction to graphic novels, art, cookbooks, and more, there's something for everyone. The store's unique charm and the passion of its volunteers create an inviting atmosphere that encourages exploration and discovery. Whether you're a seasoned reader or just starting your literary journey, Bindlestiff Books is a delightful haven that celebrates the joy of reading.”
“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.”
“Excellent knowledge of books, particulary sci-fi and fantasy. The owner works in publishing, and has a reputation for always being able to find a book you will love. One of several places in the area where you can find comic books. In this case, they specialize in independent comics and trade magazines, but you can also pre-order any series you'd like, and it'll show up the day it's released for you.”
“I love shopping for books at Moore Books! Whether browsing the diverse selection for a random pick or requesting a special order, they are awesome. Love the ambience too and nice staff!”

“I randomly stopped in the bookshop this morning as I was walking through town and I am so glad I did. Celia's is a cozy, inviting place with a great variety of books. I loved the personalized selections written by the various staff members under their favorite books. I plan on bringing my kids next time I go. Highly recommend checking it out!”

“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.”
“A quaint store adjacent to Silverside road that is surprisingly big. It's filled with antiques, memorabilia, records and more! It was our first time ever there but totally worth the trip.”
“A great little bookstore with everything from textbooks for the students to Swarthmore clothing and merchandise for family and friends. Its location is incredibly convenient for not only students but for anyone passing through the Ville, whether it be by car or on the SEPTA train. Swarthmore's station is adjacent to the store. Metered parking is in front, and free parking is in the back. The store no doubt has very helpful and friendly staff. Make sure to look for sales on items in the store that you might not find online.”
“Stellar News is a tiny shoppe near Gate E 2 in Terminal E. I noticed the 2 for $35 on pastel Philadelphia sweatshirts, so soft and warm. The also offer best-selling paperback books, single size snacks for the plane, and Pepsi® bottled drinks. The souvenirs include tons of Liberty Bell and US flag magnets and several variations of Philly themes on coffee mugs.
This Open venue has standard height counter. No background music,
Accessible men’s, women’s, and family restrooms are located in central area of airport. There is Accessible van parking in paid airport lot.”

“The book store at Widener University was convenient, as stealing my expensive econ books was necessary as I had no money for books. With the help of a nice girl that worked behind the counter I was able to get through and do fairly well for myself. Remember, stealing in 1989 wasn't immoral yet. Work hard guys, don't sweat every cruddy reality along the way. Some of those situations allow you to meet people, get experience doing something you'd never have dreamed of. Good luck, work hard. College is a great place to learn how to be a friend, co-worker, single, married, successful, and defeated. It has it all, dug in and get yours.
