Book prices are very reasonable, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. In the time I was visiting, an employee helped me look for something, and they also took a phone call in which they searched all across the store on behalf of the caller to see if they had a book in stock. Highly recommend if you're looking for some cheap mid to high quality books!

I browsed through the books & finally landed on the true crime section, which peaked my interest. I grabbed a book & took it to checkout, they were polite & offered me a bag. The book price was very affordable & I even got a discount! Unfortunately the cats were hiding so I didn't get to say hello to them, but this is such a gem of a store & i recommend that you visit!

The people working were very friendly when we entered and were very helpful during our visit. But…read morethe biggest plus? The CATS and many rows of curated books. They did have quite a large romance section throughout the store which isn't particularly my jam, but I totally get there's a large market for them right now. My books were 33% off for Christmas in July which was awesome! 5 books for under $30 is a steal in my opinion. Definitely a good deal :)

Whenever I'm taking a stroll through Midtown Harrisburg, I make a point to stop by Midtown Scholar…read moreBookstore. It's one of the most impressive independent bookstores I've visited and the kind of place where you can easily lose track of time. A few highlights from my visits: Three levels packed with books covering just about every genre and interest imaginable. Every corner seems to hold a new discovery, whether it's a unique art piece, a signed edition, or a hidden literary gem. A dedicated comic book section tucked away in the back that's worth seeking out. Comfortable tables and seating areas where you can relax and spend some time with a book. Public restrooms available for customers. My favorite way to experience Midtown Scholar is to grab a coffee and simply wander. The store encourages exploration, and it's hard to leave without finding something interesting to read. Beyond the books, Midtown Scholar does an excellent job bringing the community together through events: Author signings and book readings. Special literary and cultural events. Live music performances, including a jazz night that I thoroughly enjoyed. A regularly updated event calendar that's worth checking before your visit. A few practical notes: Street parking is available nearby. Located in the heart of Midtown, making it easy to pair with visits to nearby cafés, restaurants, and the Broad Street Market. Plenty of places to sit and take a break during your visit. Overall, Midtown Scholar is much more than a bookstore. It's a community gathering space, a cultural destination, and a place where curiosity is rewarded around every corner. Whether you're an avid reader, a casual browser, or just looking for a relaxing stop during a day in Midtown, it's absolutely worth a visit.

One of the best looking bookstores in the Middle East coast surely. This place has got the…read moreselection of new options on lock, and a blend of sections that gives you anything else your idle stack browsing could want. Down to even bargain back mass market pickups of used books. Make a time of it by going nearby to the Broadstreet Market for a walking pop-about and grab any bite you need. The coffee at the bookstore can propel you to all the nearby arts or small shops, or help you on your way back to the capital grounds back for a small walk back to the heart of downtown.

What an absolute gem of a bookshop The Book House is in Dillsburg! I cannot convey in words just…read morehow delightful this place is - it's everything you'd hope for in a small, hole in the wall, everything's cramped but also clearly well maintained "there's hidden treasure everywhere" kind of place. The selection of used books is astounding, and the varying levels of quality was unexpected too - nothing was garbage, and while there are clearly used books here, there are also really nice, mint level books too. To give you an idea of the scope of books I'm talking about here, I left with a mint paperback of Starship Troopers from 1997, and a high quality copy of the published 1896 Pennsylvania School Laws (yes, that's a very old book). The staff are incredibly helpful and know their inventory well - don't be afraid to ask for help finding something if you've spent 20 minutes lost in treasure hunting mode. I cannot stress enough how great The Book House is - it is the quintessential used bookshop where you'll find yourself fully immersed in the browsing experience. Check it out whenever you get a chance!

This is definitely one of the best hole in the wall book stores we have come across. Grumpy's Books…read moredoes not disappoint on the book selection! At all! Literally something for everyone and anyone. If you can't find something to take home here..you're broken go home! Lol. If we didn't have somewhere to be when we stopped we definitely would have been there for more than the 45mins we spent there. There are so many rooms, and a basement overflowing with books. They also have CDs, records, vhs tapes, art work, old magazines/news papers..just so many things. The prices on some things are a touch high...but it's worth it if it keeps Grumpy's going. There is a public restroom if you end up staying longer than expected..like we did. We ended up taking home 5 books, a picture we took off the wall, and an awesome experience..spent $16 for everything.

I had always thought the name "2nd & Charles" referred to some downtown street corner of a big city…read morelike Boston. As it turned out, the name actually comes from "second-hand" (as in buybacks and trade-ins), and the first name of its founder, Charles Anderson. The chain has 40 locations across 18 states and is owned by its parent company, Book-A-Million, which was founded by Charles father, Clyde. It's bitter sweet that it moved from the now-dismantled Harrisburg East Mall to its current location. The business survived, but I like the old setting better, where it was part of a shopping mall and you could just stroll into the store during a general window-shopping trip. The new location is standalone, right across from the county courthouse (are the prisons still there?), where Toys "R" Us used to be. It has to be a dedicated trip. The new store is much larger, however. It has all kinds of books, including rare titles and collectibles. There are also gifts, CDs, musical instruments, and even LEGO bricks sold by weight. Heck, they even buy back old LEGO sets! Jumping on the "blind box" bandwagon, they now sell "Mystery Boxes" as well. It's a fantastic spot to treasure-hunt and/or sell items from your weekend clean-outs. It's great to see a unique business like this continue to thrive.

Besides Bass Pro Shops, congratulations to 2nd & Charles for being the only retail store to survive…read morethe Harrisburg Mall. A huge store located in the former Toys R Us, with a tremendous selection of kids' books, records, and toys across all categories. There's even a free Mother's Day card creation event this Saturday for children. Plenty of staff around to answer questions. I need to bring in my husband's barely used hardcover books for reselling. Living in this digital age, it's great to see 2nd & Charles thriving. If you want new or get a great value with slightly used books, try the 2nd & Charles bookstore for a curated book experience.
