Five star bookstore, three star cafe. But the bookstore part is legit cool. It's a converted church and makes excellent and creative use of the space. There are tables where you can sit and read and sip your coffee (which is just ok). And it never feels crowded. This place really blows those chain bookstores out of the water. Great selection, and the displays are well tailored to current events, but in an educational rather than gimmicky way. They also have a good selection of literature and even some academic books (though you might have to hunt for the latter). They also sell vinyls and old posters, but books are the main attraction here. I haven't felt this comfortable in a bookstore in years.

A museum of culture, atmosphere, and vibe. The midtown Schollar carries a remarkable collection of literature, in a space broken up into dozens of open, separate rooms that breeze into one another facilitating grazing very naturally. The collection of current literature in the main gallery will revive your faith in contemporary art, and the underground plethora of classics will keep you grounded in antiquity. This is a place of nooks, from the upper story outdoor balcony, to the side-basement art alcove, to the low-key conferences rooms just-so shielded from reality by the children's sections.

This place has it's charm. We spent more time at the bookstore than at any other place. If you like books, this the right place for you! Coffee/tea served.

Extensive collection of new, used and rare books. Probably one of the best book stores left on Earth. Check it out if you're in Harrisburg.

Think Powell's in Portland, squeezed I to a smaller space. Great selection of books. Private off street parking available in a lot behind the store.
