Book Stores in State College, PA

“LOVE this place! Everytime I walk in, I feel like I'm walking into my own house or someone's house.. it has this warm, cozy feel to it! Nice selection of books too! The owner is super nice and friendly. He was telling me that this book store is inspired by a few famous, independent bookshops that also had similar cozy, home feel. They are:1) 'Tattered cover' in Colorado,2) McNally Jackson in NYC,3) Elliot Bay bookshop In Seattle, and4) Boulder bookstore in CO”

“I was amazed I hadn't written a review about one of my favorite places in State College. Websters is awesome and I come here several times a month, much to my wife's chagrin. Webster's has a fantastic book selection, and I really don't think I've ever seen prices as cheap as theirs. The bookstore is huge, and there is always something I find to buy. They have an enormous selection of folio editions, a huge Civil War section, and manage to keep cheap paper backs to a minimum. They have occasional events and sales, such as buy 3 get one free, or when a donor drops off a huge stack of books they often put them out at sale prices. The owners are also so so nice and really love books. They will do whatever they can to help you find something you're interested in. I am in love with the space. Piles of books everywhere, sort of chaotic organization, winding bookcases and hidden seating areas - all they need is a cat! You can reserve tables for meetings, but you can also just grab an open one. I actually have never eaten AT the cafe, but I've had their catering quite often and it is really delicious food.”
