This store is adorable! They have so many books, so many sections and subsections! There is parking…read morein the front, and elsewhere around the little strip area of shops. If you pull in, you do end up backing onto a busy road so leave with caution. As I said, they have a great selection. There are four rooms of boons, each section is clearly labeled and occasional thematic decor. There are also occasional benches so you can sit and debate which books you want to "adopt". They're used, but gently and each has a price lower then the face value written inside. They also have the largest selection of Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys I've ever seen. Its all very impressive.

Ok, ok. I may be biased in my 5-star rating because I work at The Andalusia Bookman shop, but trust…read moreme, I'm not. I simply love great rare books, collections of ephemera, and places that make you feel at home -- you get all this and more, here. Walk-ins aren't welcome just yet, so please call for an appointment, but once you visit it may become a routine like it has for so many others.. At the shop you'll find: over 60,000 items, specializing in 19th and 18th c. illustrated books, chromolithos, Philadelphiana, rare anthropology, early hermeneutics, Natural history, first editions, signed items, Beat lit, '60's material, unusual occult, erotica and esoterica. We have a vast collection of ephemera, art work (steel engravings, pouchoir, collotype), movie posters (of the 1940's - 50's) and a mass of important 19th c. bound periodicals (Oology to Archeology, Mathematics, Botany, Knitting), and 20th c. Art journals, Italian Fascist publications, etc., culled from Walter J. Johnson's liquidation, as well as a collection rare jazz records. And much more, just ask. Dave has been in business for twenty-five years in the incarnations of David L. Miller Rare Books, The Book Merchants, the Philadelphia's Riverside Book Fair and 30th Street Station Book Fair. In 1991 we purchased the business, name and stock of Samuel Kleinman's legendary Schuylkill Book and Curio Shop of 4207 Lancaster Ave., Phila. PA. Thanks for reading, and give us a call to check out the shop!

My goodness, I even found a rare piece by Louis Kahn here and bought my son a signed Louis Brandeis. What a great find- I love this place.

This is the local village hub. So much goes on here at this little unassuming shop…read more Besides finding the best selection of recent and rare books, it is also a gathering place for city information. Do you need to know when the next Trenton Eat Local dinner is, who's running for city council, what new business has just opened in town? Or maybe you are joining the Trenton Knit and Stitch...or fancy a spirited game of Scrabble. You can also come to Classics to meet local authors, poets, artists... You need a unique gift... Or you just want to visit with the wonderful shopkeep, Eric. I am so happy to be able to ride my bike or walk to this gem!

This independent bookstore is on the lovely main road in Haddonfield and is the perfect place to…read moredrop in before or after a meal or coffee at one of the many surrounding (also small) businesses. They had a nice selection of a variety of genres, and I really liked the children's section, which was partially divided by ages group/reading level (which is helpful for clueless aunties like myself). One of my favorite things about indie bookshops is their bookish gifts/swag, and Inkwood has this in spades. I also enjoyed the staff recommendations throughout the store.

This is a small space right on the Main Street of Haddonfield, and they have tons of different books. You're sure to find something here that you enjoy, and if not they can order it for you. The staff are super friendly and helpful. They have a frequent buyers club which is free to sign up for. I will definitely be back, especially as the holidays approach and I look to support local businesses when I buy presents for people.

Had the pleasure of visiting Ida's today! I'm a fan of their sister shop in Philly, Harriette's,…read moreand was so psyched to see they have this new location in Colingswood. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable, and they wrapped my book in the prettiest twine with a flower. How heavenly is that experience! Thank you :)

This is possibly the most beautiful, lovingly curated, intensely engaging bookstores I think I've…read moreentered. I love books and love walking into bookstores everywhere. Experiencing the Ida environment was like visiting an art museum where you could touch the exhibit pieces, buy them if interested, learn about others, and think about how to enjoy, display, read and learn from the written word. And, the colors, the tones, the paint on the walls - add to the vibe. And...then the way that the kind sales guy packaged my books in twine so that I (or my husband did) carried my books as people use to do in the old days, when paper bags were not needed and there was pride in walking out with a stack of your new (or used) books for your reading pleasure. Go go go and open yourself to a new bookstore experience. You will not be disappointed.

This is one of the most unique bookstores I've ever been to. When you first walk into this building…read morethat looks like an old castle, you are given a map - that's how big this place is and how many nooks and crannies there are! It's stocked with used books, mostly from several decades ago, so don't expect to find recent releases. I snagged two Agatha Christie books, which can be challenging to find. It's a fun place to explore, and if you're looking for an older book, this is the place to come.

10/10 stars for Baldwin Book Barn! This spot was on my list of bookstores (in the world) to visit…read moreand I was not disappointed! A barn filled with books! I explored all the books and crannies and can't wait to visit again! The bookseller is a charm and was happy to chat and share the store's treasures! Everything is for sale and I'm told that was very important to Mr. Baldwin! If you are a bookie or even want a different kind of field trip, this is well worth it!

I have shopped in many used bookstores in the Philadelphia/New Jersey/Delaware Valley area, and…read morethis was the worst customer service I have experienced! The woman working there was not very friendly, and when I first "found" her (she was not visible, and I said, "Hello, is anybody here?", to which she did not reply), she acted as if I was bothering her. She asked me what genres I was interested in, went and pointed out where a few were, and then left me. She was then talking to a regular customer, and seemed more interested in "gabbing" with him. There was no explanation from her of their pricing scheme, and since she was chatting with that customer, I felt like I should ask another customer, who was nice enough to explain it. I guess that I was spoiled by Labyrinth Books the day before when I was in Princeton, which gave me excellent customer service from every employee there that I came in contact with - probably the best I've ever had! I plan to return to the area, but I will never come back here.
