Awesome bookstore with a dangerously large selection of books on the War Between the States…read more Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Look forward to my next visit.

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.

Awesome used bookstore in Wildwood. I love bookstores but especially used bookstores…read more There are books all over the place in here. If you can't find a beach read here good luck. I'm mostly into history/military books and there were plenty. Been looking for a book called "The last full measure" and couldn't find it. Asked the guy at the register and he was backing less than thirty seconds with the book. Any problems just ask. Every time I come to either Cape May or Wildwood I hit this bookstore. Books are a bargain as well.

What a great bookstore in Wildwood. Plenty of street…read moreparking as it's across from Byrne plaza. Tons of books to choose from across many genres. Staff is friendly I'll be back

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.

The Book Garden is really something different. The owners seem to know every book that's for sale…read morein their store of thousands of books. there are categories of subjects for every preference. It's relaxing to shop there. It's a great place for the curious to find a new subject to delve into. Whether historic or new, hardcover or not, stop here for your next good read and expect to pay a reasonable price.

The book garden is an amazing place. I went there strictly for knitting books and found a treasure…read moretrove. The books were in beautiful condition for a fraction of the cost for new. I now have enough books but highly recommend their wonderful shop.

Such a cute shop!…read more I'm really and sadly, not a reader. I read for college courses because I have/ had to, but overall I'm too hyper for reading. (When I do read, I enjoy self-help, spiritual, and astrology books). This shop is so appealing that even folks like me are inclined to WANT to read! Super nice (love the smell too!) staff.

Cute little bookstore! The staff is very friendly and the selection is good. Books are half off of…read morelist value and some credit can be earned from bringing in used paperbacks to trade. However, they don't accept hardcovers and even if you have enough credit to cover a book, you still have to pay $2.50 for it.

I love this store. Tom, the owner, is one of the friendliest people I've ever met. The inventory is…read moreconstantly updated and the store often runs great sales.

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 secondhand bookstore has a fantastic selection of used children's books (they have a small…read moreadult book section too)! Prices are affordable and all books are in very good condition, many are even like new! My 5 year old loves going to pick out picture books, chapter books, and non-fiction science books! We will keep coming back.

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.

One of Philly's favorite book stores…read more While it's a bit overwhelming with tiny aisles, one way signs, and a bit unorganized, its a great spot to wander. 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.
