I love to go here! It is not just because I love books or that I love bookstores... okay, maybe…read morethose are the two reasons. This place has a nice and calm atmosphere. You will never feel like you are at a public library where kids run up and down the aisles shouting constantly and the staff act like they can't do anything about it. It is serene and you are free to browse and read to your leisure. I miss seeing a lot of places like these so as a hope I try to support this location every chance I get. People might not like the prices here but if you join their club by making a payment and receiving a card every book you buy will be at a discount! Barnes & Noble is great and I hope this one will stay as long as books exist.

I think the one thing I would note is that this place can feel rather cramped and tight because there are books literally everywhere (on the shelves, on trolleys and the floor). The owners are very friendly and knowledgeable! I would highly recommend asking for their advice or option on a book!

I easily found 3 I wanted within a few minutes, then went back looking in the Middle East section for some titles that might help a subject I'm studying at the moment. The place is laid out very neatly, but the titles are arranged in the careless way that you want and love in a used bookstore, allowing you to dig for treasures on your own, albeit within neatly defined genres. Friendly staff, and they will buy from you by appointment and offer you double the store credit they would offer in cash. May have to stop by again soon. :-)

I somehow managed to not notice this store right next to Krispy Kreme until I'd walked past it…read moreprobably half a dozen times. Guess I was focused on getting to donuts, but I'm glad I finally noticed it and now I stop in whenever I'm in the area. It's a smallish space, but well organized with a wide selection of genres. It's primarily books, but they also have DVDs and a small CD section. There are a few stepstools scattered around to help you reach the items on the higher shelves which I appreciate as a not super tall person. I find the CD section difficult to shop though, as it's on lower shelves and even with my glasses on it's tricky to read the small type on the cases near the floor. The employees are friendly and polite and always happy to help if you're looking for a specific title. I've only ever purchased here, but they also take items for trade-in, although you need to make an appointment for that. The prices are generally in line with other used bookstores in the area. Definitely sign up for their e-mail list, as they frequently send out discount codes. Unlike some used bookstores I frequent, I don't always leave here with a find, but I often come across a book on my TBR list at a good price.

Excellent little book shop that caters to the romantic/fiction/paranormal readers out there. Not…read moreonly do they have books they also have cute charms and mugs. For such a small store they even have a small sale section roughly 20-30% off title price. Friendly staff always there to help. Authors come by all the time to do book signing! Amazing dynamic we have here. Got me a cell phone charm, cat lover's delight, will come back again!

[Out-of-Towner Review]…read more I'm pretty sure TT told me about Cupid's Booksthop I had a moment to stop by, so I happily did! Little did I know this area was soo cute and heavily trafficked! Parking was a nightmare, but it was worth it. But the Manayunk neighborhood is adorable! So, they claim they are the "city's first brick-and-mortar romance bookstore." But I did find another that also claims this too! Regardless, I'm ALWAYS going to go to a #romancebookstore! I also happens to walk in during an #authorevent, where Lily Larkspur was signing "Merry Meet Again. Lily said if Hallmark movies were my jam, the.n I'd like her book, so obviously I got it. Signed, and all I honestly don't need any more books (WEIRD to say), so i browsed for a good, long while. But finally, I settled on a book with the edges sprayed in a soccer ball pattern -- the girly tomboy in me loves a book about my fave sport The bookstore, all 600 square feet, is extremely packed full of all romance genres that are very visibly labeled. They also have adorable merch, clothing, and tons of romance trinkets. But BY FAR are the Cockmark (bookmarks) that are so unassuming Also, just down the street is the brand new Thrillerdeplia, a horror and thriller bookstore! I didn't have a chance to swing by, but I'm adding it to my "to do" list! Philly has a limited selection findependent bookstores but Cupid is worth a visit!

I feel so lucky to have Mavey Books just around the corner. It's one of those rare places that…read moreinvites you to slow down, think deeply, and engage with ideas that matter. Their shelves are filled with books that nurture empathy, critical thinking, and curiosity -- plus a fantastic children's section that helps young readers see the world with wonder and compassion. Lately, I've noticed how hard it can be for small, independent shops that simply try to spark meaningful conversations through books. It's disheartening to see thoughtful places like this get caught up in other people's noise. It's also frustrating to see independent shops like this one get unfairly targeted by people more interested in outrage than understanding. Mavey is exactly the kind of space our communities need -- thoughtful, welcoming, and unafraid to encourage reflection. For this it should be celebrated. It's also a reminder of why independent bookstores matter more than ever in this moment.

I am a reader. I have always been a reader…read more I was a toddler who was reading before I was speaking. Mavey's is my kind of bookstore. Nestled in a row of historic buildings & shops, this tiny little bookstore manages to have a vast variety of books while at the same time being carefully curated. Things are mostly grouped by type, though there's also a delightful jumble, books you wouldn't expect to be side-by-side on a shelf, yet they work. The owner is delightful, happy to chat and also perfectly comfortable with silent exploration. The various recommendations are written by hand, posted right by the book on the shelf. It's an easy walk from the Ardmore train & bus. Parallel metered parking on street and a large municipal garage around the corner. Their pricing is fair, not a race-to-the bottom, also not extravagantly overpriced. You can pay slightly less to a vast conglomerate whose executives take joyrides to space while driving their s workers to exhaustion. Or you can come to this place that loves books and the people that read them. I choose the latter. I hope you do too.

We mentioned some previous books that our niece enjoyed, and the lady was able to give a number of great recommendations. All three of us enjoyed the experience so much that we each bought a book.

This tiny little bookstore is lovely, and nestled within the Pendle Hill retreat center of the…read moreReligious Society of Friends, better known as Quakers. For that reason the books sold focus primarily on the Quakers, Quakerism, and other topics that would be of interest to Quakers and other spiritual seekers. It is not a place to go and pick up the newest best-selling mystery or romance novel. If you are looking for a bookstore focusing on Quaker publications there probably isn't a better one in the country. Even if you're not looking for Quaker publications, but are looking for texts on spiritual matters this bookstore would be an excellent resource for you.

The Pendle Hill Bookstore is kind of hard to find, but once you get there, you'll discover a…read moreterrific little independent bookstore with lots of books that you won't find anywhere else. They're especially strong in children's picture books and in books relating to Quakerism (the store is part of Pendle Hill, a Quaker retreat and study center). The books are arranged in thoughtful categories-- peace and social justice, writing, lives in transition, etc. The proprietor is friendly and full of suggestions. Definitely a good place to find a holiday gift for book-lovers.

The staff has always been friendly and helpful and I often overhear them making recommendations. There are many seating options in the cafe as well as comfy chairs and wood benches scattered throughout.

There's a reason every decent review of this place is a decade old. This place is super unreliable,…read morehas horrible customer service, and quite frankly I'm amazed it's even open still. My 8 year old son got a gift card to GameStop for his birthday 6 months ago. He chose to use it to buy a GameStop pass, so he could get a free pack of Pokémon cards every month (which the guy working sold him on). We've then proceeded to come on here every month to them never having Pokémon card packs, so he feels like he wasted his gift card. They won't even let him get the $.50 singles in its place since they can't fulfill what he wants. Additionally, there's always ever only 1 person working, and no matter who is working they are completely inept. They are no help in finding things, and when more than even one customer is in the store they disintegrate like wet toilet paper. Lastly, they never keep consistent hours. I can rarely get here during the week because they close at 5, and now they're not even open on the weekends when they say they will be. They went as far as to post a calendar on their door for their holiday hours, and yet here I am at 10:39 on a Saturday, when they say they'll be open at 10, and no one is even answering their phone let alone removing the gates form the door and opening the store. Horribly run business, rude staff, inconsistent hours. I guess I'll just start buying my gaming stuff at Target or Walmart, because this place stinks.
