We found this place by accident while in Lancaster County. It's an Amish bookstore with a great…read moreselection of books and other items and also great prices. I noticed all the books I purchased were at least $2.00 less than MSRP. I saw the some of the same books in other shops but never at prices as low as their prices.

It has a lovely porch for reading outside in warmer weather, as well as some cozy seating inside. And the selection is excellent. They take care to stock books across a wide range of genres for all types of readers and interests. The store promotes a welcoming and inclusive environment for everyone, and the employees are always friendly and helpful. On my most recent visit I scored a bargain from the sale cart and got a hardcover on my TBR list for 20% off. They also have a nice selection of gift items and stationary. A great place to spend an afternoon browsing through all the rooms.

We left with a big stack of new books and are excited to enjoy a nice Sunday reading them. Next time, we plan to sell our used books in good condition to make space on our shelves. What a fun idea!

The book selection is well curated and the shop is so cozy and calming. You'll want to spend the day here curled up with a book in one of the plentiful comfortable reading areas. And one room has a record player where you can a select a record to play to add to the ambience! There's also a restroom and a water cooler available for customers. The employees are friendly and welcoming, but give you space to browse and explore. Their sign mentions a used book section, but I had difficulty locating it. It seemed like the used books might be mixed in with the new books? More clear signage delineating where the used books are located would have been helpful. Overall, this is a great place to visit and spend some time. Highly recommend stopping in when you're in the area.

I popped into Nooks before brunch in Lancaster this past Sunday. It's a deceptively large…read moreindependent bookstore - you have to walk through the children's rooms to get to the largest room with adult books (and their bathroom). Despite being a larger bookstore, I wouldn't say it's the best stocked. There is definitely room for more shelves and more books, but as they have laid it out, it's a very spacious shop with plenty of seating. You can sit at a table and chairs or an armchair in the back room upstairs, and there's cute seating for kids or families in the children's book rooms. But not having as much shelving does mean that they didn't have several books and authors I was looking for. If I lived locally, I'm sure they order books that they don't have in stock! Overall, a cute if not very well-stocked independent bookstore with friendly customer service.
