Incredibly rude staff. It also smells bad. The lady at the counter pretends the books are super rare and valuable; well they're not.

I never walk out without one book...usually 3-4! Paying less than half price for a book that looks like new is the best!

Bucks County Bookshop

Super fun little used bookstore. It's an old house converted into the shop. Lots of nooks and…read morecrannies, and not easy to navigate if you can't do stairs. Great selection though, and excellent prices.

Love. This was momentary love. Saunter down State Street and maybe the chic clothing stores are for…read moreyou. I'll admit, they beckoned me with their boutique windows. But it was 3 o clock, and I was on a mission--to avoid super-turnpike traffic and to purchase a book. Well, I bought three. The County Bookshop is up a few brick steps on the right side of the street. Saw the name; had to go. Used and out-of-print books. I broke into a smile. An old home converted into this bookshop, it is a fitting dressed-down arrangement. Entering, there are rooms to the left and right. At the right rest philosophy books, and near the register first-edition copies of books. One I saw was a C.S.Lewis story. These books are not in the most beautiful condition, and many seem to have been gifts with cursive notes scrawled in the covers. But these little rooms are not all! Browsers can wander further to another room, and another after that. Each section is distinctly labeled. Signs even direct you to poetry and literature. There is everything from philosophy to travel to gardening and food to French lit and surely beyond. The best is yet to come. Outside sits a rack of books for 35 cents. Inside, there is another near the cashier, where each book is 50 cents. The gentleman, presumably the owner, was soft-spoken and had no idea what to say other than Thanks when receiving praise for the store. Perhaps he isn't used to it, since apparently there are other book stores in the very near vicinity. Buck County Bookshop is what I saw first, and walking out with Philosophy of Science ($7.95) Intro to Mathematical Philosophy ($10) and World Orders Old and New ($7.50) I was pleased with myself. I bet the other stores didn't have these books!
