Your good old days used bookstore. Well-stocked and has some vibe. But you really have to squeeze through its aisles at times.

Very well organized book store. Cluttered slightly, which only adds to the character. Bargain priced books that are in fairly decent condition. I will be returning next time I am in Philly.

Charming used book store, the place is literally stacked full of narrow passageways full of piles and piles of used books, I'd you spend time looking you can find some great things, but the sorting system seems outdated and just plain mislabeled in some sections. Definitely worth checking out if you have a minute.

A labyrinth of narrow aisles, tall shelves, and tons and tons of used books to browse through. In otherwise, heaven. Also, the staff seemed friendly.

Good used book store to explore, but I was disappointed to find them selling ARCs (which clearly state "Not for Sale" on the covers).
