Fodor's Expert Review Brickbat Books
East Passyunk, Queen Village, Bella Vista, and South Philadelphia
Books/Stationery
The charming, worn-in feel of this store lined with wooden shelves befits the merchandise for sale: the focus is on rare, small-press used and new books, although it's not unheard-of to find a $4 Hardy Boys paperback next to a first-edition Edward Gorey. The store also acts as a venue for fringe musicians from near and far.
