Michael Williams

A very excellent used bookstore , and possibly the best in Philly in terms of value and selection. Not great with trade-ins, but still worthwhile for browsing . Tons of freebies outside every day.

Reinhold Residential

The quintessential used book store with stacks of literary gems for you to discover. The second floor seating area is a great place to start reading!

Heavy Bubble

Open from 10 til 10. If you've got the time to browse you'll probably find a few things to take home.

Tristan Rhodeside

Great spot to hunt for treasures or just waste an hour enjoying the two floors of old and rare used books

Alex Murphy

Downstairs sprawling and active, upstairs more quiet and pensive. Grab a seat by the window upstairs , take a moment to yourself.

Rebecca Dummit

It's a good mix of old and new books . They have everything.

Trever Polak
