Wooden shoe books have an amazing selection of books, and the building has an amazing vibe. The store suplys free condoms, lube, and other products. The workers are very kind and helpful. Overall, the store was amazing.

Is this the best bookstore in Philly? Probably. Which makes it at least in the top 20 or so nationwide. You wouldn't find your Barnes and Noble type books here. But that's the point. What you'll find here is the good stuff that Barnes and Noble wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole. Queer writers. Writers of color. Anticapitalist authors. Local criticism, the Wooden Shoe has it all. You could spend an hour browsing and still only discover a part of the store. It's a must visit and a blessing on the local Philly community.

One of my favorite bookstores in Pennsylvania. Amazing for alternative and unorthodox books (and coloring books too)

Stumbled in as a traveler and am now jealous that this book store/community doesn’t exist in my own city. I could spend ages in here!

Awesome anarchist bookstore with an incredibly welcoming atmosphere. everything from the books themselves to the cool on-theme button/pin/sticker array to the kind gentleman holding down the fort were a pleasure to stumble upon while wandering around Philly during our short stay.

This place use to be about; critical thinking, independent thought, blunt honesty. 180 flip, now it's all politicaly correct, fake corporate agenda, lobiest propaganda. Only your enemies will encourage degeneracy in you. Be true to yourself and rise above. Sick self destruction philosophy is not your true self. Be healthy and honest.

Cool bookstore with a social justice focus. I've always found interesting things here. It's a great place to browse around and see some books that don't have center focus in most book stores.
