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

Fantastic independent book store! The owner has a really good taste in books, and I was able to find the sequel to an obscure book that I really like. If you're downtown, be sure to stop in!

I really wanted to love this place because any time there's a new store (especially a bookstore!) downtown instead of a cheap college bar, I consider that a big win. However, I was pretty disappointed in both the variety and selection. Their limited selection means that they probably don't have what you are looking for, and then not much else to interest you once you can't find your item. The store is still pretty new by all accounts, so maybe they will expand a bit and I'd be thrilled to go back and check them out. I love the space they occupy - several connected rooms so it feels cozy despite the very modern feel of the space. The cashier was super nice and willing to help!

The store is so cozy and welcoming. It had a nice selection of books of course, with decent prices, and there's a section for writers. Nice gift items too.

Absolutely love this bookstore. The owner is very kind and helpful. If you can't find a book I'm sure he can find it and order it in. Also a fantastic supply of stationary and fountain pens.

Cute little bookshop! My partner and I stop in every time we visit State College and ALWAYS find something we have been looking for on our reading lists.

The most charming bookstore with a great book nook for children. The smell of new books mixed with fresh wood makes you happy as soon as you walk in. Great selections of books! Definitely visit this place!

Great place! Lots of choices. Nice and cozy. I only wish they had a sign outside - we almost missed it!

This store is exactly what State College needed. It's a good compliment to Webster's. A very pleasant browsing and shopping experience for new books and bookish gifts and so far he has always had the book I'm looking for.
