“Went to the warehouse and was greeted and graciously taken care of. However, they do say that it is an online shop only, so would recommend buying online instead. Books look great and are in good condition. Clean and easy shopping experience!”

“At CCAC South, I have taken classes online and not in person on the campus, so I can comment only on the quality of the professors' instruction and not on the condition of the campus building. In my classes (e.g., marketing, economics, and math), the professors uploaded course materials such as PowerPoints, homework assignments, and exams. Professors did not post any video lectures. Instead, students read textbooks on their own, and the professors were available to occasionally answer questions via email or phone. I personally am able to learn well independently, but other students might need to attend in-person classes to hear professors explain concepts. The tuition at CCAC South was recently only about $118 per credit for residents of Allegheny County, but the fees for technology, online learning, etc. added about 50% more to my bills!”

“A super independent bookstore in Pittsburgh. Traveling here from the Bay Area, we were recommended to come to the White Whale, and it did not disappoint! Excellent staff recs-- cool fantasy section. It's essentially got two rooms —one with a traditional independent bookstore atmosphere, and a coffee area connected to it with spaces to work. I liked the memoir and essay section. Unique, thoughtful picks, and the staff message cards were well done-- clearly a lot of thought put into this! They had an impressive Young Adult section and a Young Adult LGBTQ+ section. As a film student, I came across a great book about David Lynch. Great place to visit if you're in Pittsburgh! Highly recommend!”

Overall great selection, they even have art supplies for sale. There's 2 weekly free storytimes and even a little mouse kids can write letters to and he even responds! Highly recommend”

“A mecca of sorts. Bill is a legend in the alt / indie / underground comics scene and runs this incredible store on his own, seemingly through pure magick and love.The selection is.. overwhelming, to put it mildly, but Bill somehow keeps a mental inventory of everything and will dig through boxes to find you some obscure gems.I wish i could spend weeks here (and a small fortune).Prices are great.The online shop is phenomenal if you can't make it in person.Support this Pittsburgh treasure!”

“I needed some Duke apparel for basketball games. I was confused about where the Duquesne University Bookstore was since it is branded as a Barnes and Noble. Upstairs has plenty of Duquesne tee-shirts, sweatshirts, ball caps, etc. there are a few books along the outside walls. The main textbook area is downstairs. I didn't go down there. The apparel is expensive, which is typical for a University bookstore. I got what I needed and grabbed a snack in the integrated Starbucks.”
