“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.”
“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.”
“This was a beautiful two floor location, very clean, organized and friendly helpful staff! There were some great clearance sales and as always a selection of books, gifts, journals everything a bookworm loves ❤️”
“A very sweet and charming bookstore. I needed some recommendations for young readers and it was so nice to speak with the shop clerk who gave me some great options. A perfect Sunday activity!”
“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.”
“The new Barnes & Noble in town! Great addition to Bryn Mawr.
Just watch that grate/pothole as you drive in ?? you'll lose a wheel on that thing”
“I’m a lover of local bookstores which is why I chose to hurry here 10 blocks from home after work rather than order the book I wanted online. I arrived 5 minutes before closing hours posted online only to find the place dark and locked. The sign on the door said the store closes at “6ish” on mondays and if earlier it’s usually “weather dependent”. It was the most gorgeous fall day and the store closed early?! And the store is closed Tuesday-Thursday ie for the next 3 days. It’s disappointing to not have a dependable local bookstore in the center city area. I didn’t want to give fewer stars because I didn’t actually experience the store itself, but I did feel that this feedback was importsnt as someone living in the area who gets out of work at around 5:30 every day, probably like most people. I guess I’ll go to Barnes and noble.”
“Great bookstore!!!!!
Nicest folks. Ive been coming here for over 10 yrs. Beautiful store on Penns campus. Academic titles. Sociology. Cookbooks. Massive collection pf art. I have no idea why someone would call these wonderful people unprofessional and useless.”
“Been going to this wonderful bookstore for several years and with the new addition children’s section, it is just amazing. I literally cannot wait to go back with my children so they can pick their chapter books for summer.! Beautiful selection of books and wonderful small town vibe. The staff were very friendly today, which I certainly appreciated and the gorgeous dollhouse to look at as well did not hurt! Thank you for an uplifting experience.”
“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.”
“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?”
“Is staffed by friendly volunteers. It's the only shop in Valley Forge for lunch (sandwiches, hot dogs, etc.), snacks, beverages, and souvenirs. Homemade baked goods are delicious, very reasonable priced. There are tables both inside and outside to sit and enjoy your snacks. It is also a site for official drop off box for worn American flags. Parking is available at Washington Chapel lot. Hidden gem for a nice break, at the end of your tour of Valley Forge.”
“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.”
“This bookstore boutique was such a surprise! Excellent, curated collection of science fiction classics, fantasy, and romantic, including less well known authors and special editions. They have a big section of dungeon & dragons items, including custom dice. What really wowed me were the bookshelf craft kits and amazing quilled greeting cards, some of which were truly works of art. Great, helpful staff , too. Everything you need in an excellent little bookstore. I walked through the Dick's outside entrance to find it easily (as they were the first store when I excited the other side into the mall)”
“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”
“I love coming here! There's a really wide array of picture/middle grade/YA books (and even some books for adults too!) and the store is always decorated so nicely. The staff is very kind as well. A truly wonderful place to be!”
“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 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.”
“This is an absolutely wonderful bookstore. It is my go to, to find all sorts of books in a hurry. Especially in the fields of Sociology and Anthropolgy, but they have a vast collection in many, many fields.”
“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.”
“A treasure trove of all kinds of vintage and old books. There’s an entire of true antique books from 19th century and earlier. Notable is a collection from art and architecture books. Note the shop is closed on Sundays. There’s very little ventilation inside but it’s really not a problem when you find a book you like”
“Such a cute community book store. The store is small but organized and inviting. They even have a Little Free Library outside. They have nice reading areas to enjoy.”
“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.”

“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!”
“Awesome staff and great selection of books. You can find my book, Ancient Chinese Philosophy Impacts the Business World on the second floor in the investment section”
“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.”
“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.

“The Encampment Store had plenty of great Valley Forge souvenirs. But I have to commend their tour guides and the service of Mary from the store. She was a fantastic person to work with ahead of our visit and I appreciated her prompt and pleasant service! Bill, who was a park ranger at Valley Forge for 27 years, was our tour guide and he was also spectacular! We learned so much and he patiently answered every question we had!”
“SJU is an amazing school! As an alumni, I believe that having an even more amazing bookstore is even better. Frequently, we visit the bookstore to get outfits for my children, cute stuffies, and alumni shirts. SJU we shall see you soon!”
