we were vacationing here and found this place in passing. although the shop is small, it is quaint and has a good atmosphere. i was surprised at the large selection of books- it even expands into the space next door! you can find a book on almost anything and the prices are generally low and reasonable. well worth revisiting if i return to baltimore again :)

A favorite place to let a new book find me. Wide selection, groups by topics and has the cramped and overflowing with "new" acquisitions feel that makes used bookstores so endearing. Easy to get pleasantly lost, staff more than willing to help. Check out the shelves of rare pieces and the local area topics as part of your visit!

I love browsing here, but Im never prepared for how many books I find that I absolutely NEED to have. I raised my children on books that I bought here., and now Im enjoying my quiet evenings with books for myself. I can even browse while waiting for the Circulator bus.

Its nice to find a used book store . it is located in Ferderal Hill a cute, cozy, historic area if Baltimore. Though at the time the only trade-ins he was looking for are newer text books but you can still find great books at great prices here.

Crimson vellum embossed in gold, books in various dreamy states, your neighborhood bookstore as good and needed as water. Finds: Dickens, Gautier, Yeats essays, James Merrills too neglected novel on gayness.

Lovely little shop piled high with books of every type! My friends and I have gotten some great deals here, including used MCAT and LSAT books. Ive never paid more that $10 for a book.

Best used bookstore Ive found in Baltimore. Good selection, good prices, convenient location. The competition is pretty weak.

Wonderful variety of affordable used books at this bookstore. A short worthwhile walk from the Baltimore harbor.
