Head House Books

The first stop on my Philly bookstore spree. You got to love a city where you can walk to half a dozen bookstores in one area. As such I started on this end of South Street before making my way down the other end. They sell new books and had several current titles from my list. It is mostly fiction but I found my non fiction/history shelf. I knew it was going to be a long day of shopping so I only bought one. Fitting it was Questlove's book.

I've been to Philly a few times and this bookstore has become a staple of my visits. The selection is really well curated and displayed, with great staff picks and recommendations. The staff is always super nice and personable. On my most recent trip, I actually forgot the books I purchased in the store and called when I got home and realized it. They were incredibly helpful and allowed me to have them shipped which reaffirms that I'll always stop in and support when I'm in town. Highly recommend!!

Wonderful bookstore! Amazing service. I loved how the books were displayed -- visually appealing -- so many wonderful books. Cozy nooks where you're able to sit and look at your treasures. Such a wide variety of books to select from and I'm 100% sure you're going to be able to find the right book for you.

Great neighborhood bookstore with a fun, thoughtfully curated selection of books for a wide variety of reading tastes. I appreciated the staff book suggestions on display, and was impressed with the quality of books on hand for children, teens and adults. They do a lovely job of giftwrapping books for you, and there are comfortable spaces to hang out. The store also has a nice selection of gifts.
