Booked is such a charming little shop in Chestnut Hill! The Philly pride is present, but not in a…read moregarish way. The employees were friendly but not obtrusive. They have a good selection of popular books and books you may not know even existed. Don't sleep on their cards or miss the minis at the counter.

My friend and I were exploring the shops of Chestnut Hill a few weeks ago and stopped in at Booked…read moreto explore. Booked isn't the smallest bookshop I've been in, but their use of the space made it seem like one of the smallest. It's actually a pretty spacious shop but there aren't that many bookshelves and tables, so their selection is smaller than a shop of its size could be. I didn't find anything I couldn't leave without, but still, a charming little bookstore if you're in the area and are looking for something to read!

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!

This place is amazing! Huge selection of books, including many new and popular books. Books were…read morevery affordable, the average was about $6-7 which is much cheaper than other used bookstores. The woman who assisted me was very sweet and helpful. I'll definitely be back!

This is my favorite used bookstore. The stock is always moving. The owner, Connie is so nice and…read moreinformative. The books are clean which is important to me, along with the shop. I almost always find a few books that I want to take home. I definitely prefer books over more time looking at any kind of screen. And the price can't be beat. The variety is good too. I don't know if it will suit everyone but I love the mystery section and whenever I look for another genre I am very pleased with what is there.

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!

The Book Trader is one of my favorite bookstores in Philly[1]. It's well-lit and has quite a stock…read moreof books, mostly used, but some new. They've also got records, old postcards, and I think I spotted a tote. To me, it felt *generally* organized inside, but YMMV, right? Bring your old books in to trade - read their policies on their site: https://www.phillybooktrader.com/menu - and while you're there, search for deals. The more books you buy, the more you'll save. Find them in Old City, convenient to the 2nd Street SEPTA subway stop. [1] There's a shop cat here! The famous Dr. Pickles is usually taking a catnap, so respect their space. Meow.

If you are looking for something hyper specific, this might not be the spot. There are thousands of books in every category you could imagine. The staff is helpful and friendly, and the resident cat that wanders the shop is even better. Pricing is cheap and there's always some sort of deal going on.
