“Very cool bookstore! We walked in from the downpour right before closing and were greeted by the nicest people. We perused the vast amount of books for a very small space; and beautiful selection of cards. Since they were closing and we didn’t have an umbrella, the owner offered us hers. She even went out to her car to get it! She went above and beyond to help us out! If we lived closer we would visit this bookstore more frequently.”
“Small and cute bookstore! Fairly well organized, though some of the labels were hard to read/peeling. A very big variety of genres, including well known + lesser known series/authors! Might be a bit tough to get to upper floor if you have trouble with stairs. Two lovely cats stood guard within the store, well behaved, peaceful, and very cute. Photo is of the poetry section.”
“Good evening Google Family. This is my very first time visiting Harriet's Bookshop. I visited to promote Yolanda's children's book, Brown like Me. Miss Jeannine Cook is the owner/CEO of Harriet's bookshop. I had previously contacted Miss Cook through email. I decided to go in person to visit the bookstore and possibly meet Miss Cook. Harriet's Bookshop is named for Harriet Tubman. It is a beautiful place with plenty of books and many books by black authors. I loved the setup of the place. They have a long table and chairs and candles. I love the decor and ambience of the place. A beautiful place to hold a book signing. I also loved that they have a coffee/tea setup in the bookshop. It is in the process of being opened. Hoping that it will be open in time for Yolanda's book signing. It was great to meet Miss Cook and she also has a book that she wrote and it is available for sale in the bookshop. The book is called It's Me they Follow by Jeannine A. Cook. I enjoyed my experience here in the bookshop, networking and talking with Miss Cook. I am truly looking forward to Yolanda's book signing here. It will be a winner!!! Also Yolanda's book, Brown like Me is currently on the bookstore shelf, hardback and paperback. $15.00 for paperback and $20.00 for the hardback. God is Good!!! Workout, be healthy, fit and Fabulous especially for people over fifty years of age.”
“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.”
“Hands down the cutest shop in Manayunk. Very friendly and helpful staff, diverse selection of books for all readers, and a cozy vibe! What more can you ask for from a bookstore?”
“It was a easy experience. The nurses were extremely helpful. Mrs.Asha was very caring and understanding. The nurses there make doctors visit more pleasant than it would be. I really appreciate they services. Awesome team over there.”
“I miss buying books in person. It’s an experience that I am nostalgic for. Unfortunately, Barnes and Noble is so expensive in comparison to online. I still come occasionally for the experience though, of buying a book in person and taking it home and reading it immediately. I love the smell of coffee inside too!”
“What a gem! Amazing independent bookstore. My daughter loves kids corner in the back of the store. Staff always willing to give great book recommendations . We love supporting this small business.”
“A great store run by an even greater man, his conversations are deep and engaging. His care for the children of the community is equal to his passion to enlighten others. Every time I visit I learn something and feel like I am being welcomed by an old friend.”
“We went on a Sunday and found the small store bustling. Employees were helpful and easy with recommendations. I got a signed Chuck Wendig novel and a handful of other things that looked interesting. Fun spot”
“This bookstore always puts a huge smile on my face every time I go in there! They have a wonderful selection, and what they don’t have they will order for you. Definitely worth visiting again & again!”
“A wonderful addition to Philadelphia's small Bookshop scene. This brand new bookstore offers great choices of brand new books, including some Niche fiction and nonfiction that Philadelphia's can appreciate (as well as others). There are also many Used Books available for discounted rates”
“The women who were closing tonight (5/16) were amazing. We needed to find Henny Penny for a baby shower in the morning. Unfortunatly we were the ones walking in right before closing. They ended up staying a little late to make sure we had exactly what we needed. We're extremely appreciative of their help!”
“I really enjoy shopping here. The peace and presence of God is in the atmosphere. Nice and cozy. Organized. Everything in its proper place. Nice employees. Friendly. Appears to be well stocked with merchandise.”
“I felt like a kid in a candy store Mash'Allah good prices on books of beneficial knowledge May Allah Subhanahu WA Ta'Ala reward everyone involved in the upkeep of this establishment with what is good in this life and the next Aameen”
“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. :)”
“Great customer service, ordering what I like is easy. Selection is great for the size of the shop. Signing events pop up and are awesome. On site card games/ sales/ just much fun!”
“The place gives you more of a feel that you're meeting at a family friend's house then a regular bookstore. They have a great selection of books for all ages and genre interest. And they have an area where you can go and have tea and coffee while enjoying your book/magazine.”
“Tree House Books is a *free* bookstore - but so much more as well. The books are free for the taking, but I'd hope that you'd leave a donation if you can.If you have books you'd like to donate for other readers to take up, keep this place in mind. That's how I found it - looking for a place to donate gently used books. I assumed (incorrectly) that they only needed children's and YA titles for the many kids involved in their out of school program. But in fact they also have books for adults. A true literacy center. So I'll be back with the many non-kid books I'm parting with.I wasn't taking on more books during my visit, I was getting rid of them. But glancing at the adult section shelves, I saw several of my favorite books there.The staff are friendly and welcoming. And after dropping off a box of kids' books, I received within 24 hours an email thank you, which noted the number of books I had given and suggested an estimated value per book - in case I might need some documentation for a tax deduction. That's wasn't my motivation, but it speaks well for the organization that they attend to thanking donors.Stopping in on a weekday afternoon, I found ample street parking available, and had a spot right in front of the store.Will be back!”

“I love this bookshop! it’s a cute and cozy place…and i’ve been making it a point to support local businesses and not relying on amazon before they run out all local bookstores and drive their book prices up. If they don’t have the book you need then you can ask them to order it for you!”
“I absolutely adore this store and have been a frequent shopper since we moved to the area last year. The staff are AMAZING! They are so sweet and accommodating and hugely helpful when finding books or toys. I buys all of my kids toys here and they LOVE this store. The selection is incredible and perfectly curated to have wonderful options for everyone (especially diverse selection of POC authors!). The owner is fantastic and has saved us TWICE when my son left his lovey in her store. She knows my name and is so kind every time we go. Honestly nothing beats supporting this incredible local business. This sweet women even put his lovey in a bag with my name on it when she found it because she recognize that it was my sons. 100 stars ?”
“Really nice bookstore but aside from a couple on sale items, the prices were crazy high. My son is going to another university and there was no comparison. Staff are great. It's right next to a Univ. Starbucks.”
“The campus store has a great selection of memorabilia and convenience items. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful when selecting books. They helped me purchase all of the books I would need and at the best prices. I was very impressed.”

“I had a wonderful experience buying an 120 year old book from PRBM! The book I wanted was being sold by Barnes & Noble for $30 but was in pretty poor condition with lots of water damage. I was able to find it being sold by PRBM for $35 in such perfect condition and they even offered me free shipping! The buying experience was so easy. Everyone I talked to from email to phone call, were extremely nice, friendly, and professional. With the book, they included a little slip with information about the books owner history and where it's been. So awesome! I will definitely be purchasing from them again.”
“love this school! they help a lot financially. don't need sat/act scores to get in. give generous grants if you need it. offer free counseling as well. professors care about you. tutoring is also free. on campus jobs are good and work with your hours. housing is decent, maintenance employees come quickly if there's a problem. may not need to pay for parking if living on campus. only bad feature is the food, food court is barely open and there's not many options.”
“A great on campus store for all your Arcadia needs. If you are new to the university I highly recommend stopping in and getting Arcadia University shirts and pants to represent your university wherever you go. The prices aren't the Lowest which is why I can't give it a 5 star rating however I will say the prices aren't terrible.”
