“Fortunately for my wallet I am only visiting Philly for the weekend or I would be in financial crisis due to this store! Neatly organized records and tapes. A huge selection of pre-loved books with an entire cookbook section in the back. I ran the risk of running late for my lunch reservation scouring the shelves!!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Really nice neighborhood bookshop. Staff is very friendly and helpful, always interesting titles on the tables and shelves.
Lately I've been buying books for pickup at the shop. They're always good about providing updates, and they're open til 7 so it's easy find the time to pop in.”
“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.”
“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?”
“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.”
“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.”
“This is a great book store, a true part of Philadelphia culture. There are books and posters and tee-shirts galore, they have LP's for sale And the vibe is realized and friendly. If you like literature. This place is for you
They have many books on social movements and freedom. Great writers works abound. And I highly recommend Wooden Shoe Books.”
“Okay so I don't live in Philadelphia anymore. But when I grew old enough to travel on my own one of my greatest memories was discovering this store. I always had felt different from my family and those around me, maybe even a little odd. But the connection I felt to the energy and all the offerings in this shop, as well as the pleasant people who worked there was a defining moment for me and 20+ years later I still think of walking down the aisles with fond memories of a wide selection of spiritual books and trinkets, some of those I bought still sit on my shelf, worn from the years of reading and referencing. Deep nostalgia, and I am so pleased to know that when I come back home soon that this bookstore is still here for me to visit.”
“had the sweetest experience here! the selection is perfectly curated & the entrance is wheelchair accessible which is awesome. Emerson helped me and was so kind and knowledgeable!! They went above and beyond to make sure my scooter could comfortably fit through the door by quite literally helping me move it :’) THANK YOU!!! highly recommend”
“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.”
“I love this bookstore! They have a great curated collection of books and also will order items that aren’t in the store. And their events are really interesting.”

“I was staying at a hotel nearby and spotted the store on the ride over and having forgotten my kindle I knew I had to go. Firstly I was delighted to see a CAT LYING IN A PILE OF BOOKS. I knew it was going to be a good time. The place is absolutely packed with books and it’s delightful. They also have physical media. And there’s a second floor!!!! I ended up with three books and paid $16 total which is extremely reasonable. I really fell in love with the place!”
“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”
“Shopped here during small business Saturday and would recommend. They have a great selection of toys and I loved that they had a little play castle area in the back where my daughter could be entertained. They also included complimentary gift wrapping - SUCH a nice touch!!!”
“Super cool bookstore. Pretty small selection of clothing, but what was there was fun to look through. Fantastic selection of LGBT books, including a good young adult section.”
“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.”
“What an amazing shop! The owner was so kind and helpful. Not only did she order a book that wasn't in stock for me, but she also recommended the perfect gift/book for my father-in-law. He ~loved it~! Thanks so much!”
“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.”
“If you (wisely) plan to check out Partners an Son I recommend that you a) have gotten a good night's rest b) have a full belly c) are adequately caffeinated d) have sufficient funds e) have a friend on standby who can talk you out of spending your mortgage/rent money.
Seriously, though. This is probably the best indie comic store I have ever been to in my ancient, well-traveled life. The store is brimming with a wonderfully curated array of indie comics, graphic novels, zines, and art. Can't recommend enough.”
“My new favorite store in Philly! If you love shops that sell beautiful things like risoprint calendars, interesting design books, ramen keychains, design-forward sports magazines, etc. then this is the place for you. They also have an Inciardi vending machine if you're into those :) Please support this store!”
“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”
“Everytime I come here i’m always in awe! I’ve always left with finding a book, and having an awesome experience. I absolutely love everything about this place, from what they do to the absolutely amazing employees they have! This place couldn’t get any better, and I couldn’t recommend it enough!!”

“I’m so thankful for this bookstore ministry. This bookstore has fed the spiritual needs of thousands in this area and elsewhere. The staff is so nice and professional and the store itself is organized in a consumer friendly style.”
“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.”
“There are a few good bookstores in the neighborhood. Brickbat distinguishes themselves with their unique selection. It's small, but you'll always find something new and interesting. They have a lot of books by small and independent presses.
I don't always buy something, but I always enjoy popping in, and definitely have picked up books that I wouldn't have thought to read otherwise.”
“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.”
