“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.”
“Lovely space. Great collection of books. Lots of authors come and speak, and the one I heard a night ago, Paul Halpern, was phenomenal. Thank you thank you for a surviving bookstore!!”
“Mejah Books has the best feng shui, atmosphere, interior design than any book store I've been to - by far! A direct correlation to the vibes of the owner Ms. Em and her staff!Very educational and uplifting atmosphere!”
“Support your independently owned children's book store! Books range from infancy to young adults. The owner clearly loves what she does and brings in events/authors for all to enjoy.”
“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.”
“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!”

“I really appreciate this gem in Bryn Mawr. It has a good collection of a variety of genres. I always make it a point to come here when I drive by for work!The staff is helpful, knowledgeable, and kind.”
“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.”
“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!”
“The place can be expensive however the customer support is great. The person that was helping went above and beyond and was constantly looking and buying the books that I need. When they couldn't get a book for me they made a note so I could show the government and I had to order it online for reimbursement. Overall I am very surprised with the support.”
“I love visiting this campus (I have been several times as a speaker). The amenties are excellent and their buildings are accessible. the students are great and very locked in every time I attend.”
“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 ?”
“Excellent shop that packs a lot of goodies into a perfect little store. Plenty of convenience items like laundry soap, snacks, books, art supplies, notebooks, Swarthmore swag and more. Helpful staff, clean and tidy. A very pleasant shopping experience.”
“Love this campus and community! Caring faculty and staff plus passionate students. People want to make a difference in the world around them. Campus is beautiful in the Fall and Spring.”
“Not only a great college bookstore, but a great independent bookstore period - it even has a curated "new release" section. A wonderful selection of (mostly) fair-trade gifts, and a superb array of cards/stationery, too!”
“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.”
