My husband and I were recently in cute little Clarion PA on a road trip getaway. We made a stop at…read moreFulmer House on recommendation from another shop in town. Fulmer House is literally a house that is chock full in every corner of every room with all sorts of antiques and collectibles. In addition to the variety of items, there are bookshelves organized by genre peppered in throughout the house, as well. I did find prices here to higher than other stores of this nature. Also the store was fairly musty and dusty. I poked around longer than I should have, and paid for it with a hefty migraine on our ride home. If you are sensitive to smells, just a heads up that it is really stuffy and dusty in here. If that doesn't bother you, and you enjoy hunting for diamonds-in-the-rough deals in antiques stores, you may find something to your liking in Fulmer House.

This place is an asset to the community and well worth the slight detour from I80. Quality items so…read moreplentiful that it cannot all be seen in one visit. Saving beautiful items is the essence of repurposing and it is the only place in the zip code to find a book, any book, classics and popular hard and soft backs, along with historical and rare items. The Fulmer House participates and supports many community events and humanitarian efforts.

Incredible! Massive bookstore, huge selection, and impeccably organized!…read more Old classics? Autographed hardbacks? 19th Century? Vinyl records? DVDs? Sitting area? You name it - they have it! The only thing better would be a recliner to nap in while my wife browses...

While shopping at the DuBois Mall, I stopped in at Bradley's Book Outlet which also has several…read morelocations in Western PA and Youngstown OH (Southern Park Mall). This store carries new current books and magazines, and plenty of publisher overstocks and remainders at 40%-60%-80% & more off, plus 20%-30% off current New York Times paperback & hardcover bestsellers, 15% off all special orders and 10% off all hardcover new releases. They also stock Melissa & Doug items in the back of the store with infant & toddler books. There are $1 books and special items too. I spent a good amount of time at this Bradley's Book Outlet browsing through the various travel books (some a few years old) which were all deeply discounted. There were several Europe and Florida travel guides on the shelf and they also stock discounted "For Dummies" business books too. I picked up a few travel journal books for light reading, which were less than $5 each. I also purchased an Urban Dictionary and a Roadside Americana book for under $10. I would keep returning to this Bradley's Books and their other locations to browse the changing selection of discounted books. You'll never know what you'll find here!

Not only do they have an incredible book selection, but there's also a cozy coffee + tea shop attached Huge shoutout to Luis (GM!) for helping me pick the perfect latte -- I went with the banana bread latte (on the menu until the end of the month, so don't miss it!) They truly prioritize community, host events, and create such a welcoming vibe. Definitely check out their website for upcoming happenings!

This is a super cute local, independent bookstore and I highly encourage anyone in the area to…read morecheck it out! Most of the books there are used, so they're sold at a cheaper price but they have new books too. The used books are almost all in really great shape. Outside of the store, they have book carts with $5 and under books. The store is two floors, and the upper floor has a cozy reading area. The shelves in the store are separated by genre and there are also tables with owner-recommended books. In addition to books, there are also plants for sale. The place is so nicely decorated and such a nice environment for reading. To be honest, it doesn't even feel like walking into a store, and it's more like a cozy home. As a plus, I think this place has a cat around sometimes, but I didn't see the cat during my visit.

A great shop. Their new location is delightful and so large. It is a little less "cozy" as the…read moreprevious location, but I am sure they are still working out the details. There is so much variety here and everything is clearly labelled. I appreciate the staff picks section and the shelf to write your own recommendations. They have bargain bins and brand new books, so there's something for everyone. I have yet to spot the shop cat, but I'm on the look out!

If you love to read, if you love to see more than just the newest books in a genre, or if you just…read morelove to judge books by their covers... Half Price Books is a concept that needs to be on your list! My wife and I love to stop by and spend some time perusing through the different genres and seeing what has come in recently for our favorite authors... and all at half price (or less) of the original pricing. Even cooler, if you have books lying around or even old DVDs... bring them. They will buy them from you and then maybe the books you pick out will have a place on the shelf at home! They go through everything you bring in quickly and call you over the loud speaker with your offer. Great store! Great concept!
